Elevate Your Outdoor Events with Gala Tent's Pop Up Marquees

In today’s want-it-now culture, everything is Instant. Instant food and drinks, same day delivery, downloadable movies and music available in an instant at your fingertips. Everything must be fast, available now, and quick to build.

So, it comes as no surprise then, that this need for urgency has extended into marquees and outdoor tented shelters. Yes, of course, you can still purchase standard pole marquees from Gala Tent, and they are the finest pole marquees currently available on the UK Market (and when there’s a finer marquee on the market, you can be assured that it will be sold by Gala Tent!) but when you need something that can be deployed instantly then Gala Shade Pop Up Marquees(AKA Pop-Up Gazebo) are the choice for you.

Discover Versatile and Stylish Pop Up Marquees

Available in up to EIGHT sizes, depending on the model of Pop Up Marquee you’re choosing from, there is a great array of choice available via Gala Tent, and which one is right for you will depend on certain conditions such as what you’re using it for, where you’ll be using it, and how often. On the surface, and based on what you might read on our competitors’ websites, the only difference is the price, but that couldn’t be any further from the truth.

WHICH POP UP MARQUEE IS BEST FOR SOFT GROUND?

A Gala Tent Pop Up Marquee is ideal for any standing, and the height adjustable legs mean that they can even be set down on a stepped area, if necessary. Be aware in this scenario, however, that the height adjustments work in 6 inch increments.

WHICH Pop Up MARQUEE IS BEST FOR LOTS OF GUESTS?

The biggest Instant Tent we can supply is the 4m x 8m. Something of this size can offer coverage for around 32 people when standing. To protect the structural integrity, it isn’t safe to go any bigger than this with an Instant Awning. However, if you wish to cover many more people and instant deployment is still the biggest requirement when buying a tent, then it is absolutely possible to attach our tents to each other using connector clamps and gutter kits, so realistically you can build a shelter to a size as big as you wish to go. If you’re looking at huge areas and on a stricter budget than Pop Up Marquees will allow, then you may need to compromise on speed of erection and revert to a Pole Marquee option.

WHICH POP UP MARQUEE IS BEST FOR BEING WATERPROOF?

In a word (or three), all of them. We use the same universal highly waterproof PVC-Coated Polyester marquee canopy and sidewalls across each of our five models of Marquee. Each panel of 600 denier material is treated and has a hydrostatic head of an immense 6000, so you can be assured of a dry day, whatever the weather.

WHICH POP UP MARQUEE IS CHEAPEST?

There are many answers to this question. The one with the lowest price may not be the cheapest for your required purpose for the tent. If it’s a small, unassuming but strong Pop Up Marquee for the garden then the Gala Shade Pro DX is absolutely brilliant value starting at £149.99 including VAT. If you’re a professional Detailer looking to perform some mobile work then you may be better served by the Gala Pro 40 which starts at £279.99 including VAT.

Pole Marquee maybe what you need?

Still unsure whether it's an instant pop up marquee you need, if so, what about the Gala Tent pole marquee? This is also more of a permanent structure for your event. The pole steel framework is much more robust than an instant frame and can be left out for longer periods of time especially if you add the ground bars and tie down kits for soft ground and concrete weights for hard surfaces. We will guarantee wind speeds of up 33mph, however we have had reported 60 to 100mph wind speeds from our loyal Gala Tent client base.
