Why envelope roofs are stronger than carport style

Why Choose an Envelope-Style Roof marquees

Our Portland Marquee ranges feature an envelope-style roof, which offers superior strength and flexibility compared to the carport style roof.

Advantages of the Envelope-Style Roof

  1. Enhanced Strength and Structural Integrity: By integrating the gable into the roof design, the envelope-style roof forms a consistent angle that reinforces the marquee’s structure. This configuration creates an additional brace at each end, effectively distributing tension and enhancing stability.
  2. Greater Flexibility: The envelope roof design extends to the eave height, allowing for interchangeable side panels. This adaptability ensures that you can easily customize the marquee’s appearance and functionality.
  3. Aesthetic Appeal: The envelope-style roof is often seen as more attractive than the carport style. Unlike a simple tarpaulin, it provides a sleek, cohesive look that enhances the overall appearance of your event space.
  4. Cost Consideration: While the envelope-style roof is more expensive to manufacture, we believe the benefits in durability, flexibility, and aesthetics justify the slightly higher production cost.
