End panels on marquees can be particularly vulnerable to strong winds. Here’s why and how to address it:
Wind Resistance in Marquee End Panels
A single large end panel takes the full force of strong winds, concentrating stress on the eyelets around the edges. This can cause the panel to billow significantly and might lead to premature wear or failure. The larger the panel, the more slack there is, making it more susceptible to movement and damage.
Solution: Multiple Panels
Using several smaller panels instead of one large panel distributes the wind forces more evenly. This approach enhances the durability and wind-resistance of each panel, as the smaller panels experience less strain. Additionally, smaller panels tend to billow in and out less than a single large panel, providing better overall stability.
Note: Our commercial, professional, and deluxe marquee ranges use smaller end panels to ensure greater resilience and longevity.
