In simple terms, eave braces enhance the strength, durability, and lifespan of a marquee.
Over time, marquees can experience issues like water pooling due to:
- Overstretched bungee loops
- Erection on a slope
- Roof stretching from previous water pooling
Water pooling can cause the roof (a plastic material) to stretch, increasing the likelihood of future pooling. Preventing pooling from the start is crucial, and that’s where eave braces come in.
Eave braces work by reducing the spacing between poles from 2m to 1m. This tighter spacing significantly decreases the chance of water pooling, as the braces help distribute weight and support the roof more effectively.
Additionally, eave braces, along with gable uprights (as shown in the picture), contribute to the overall strength and stability of the marquee, making it more resilient and longer-lasting.
