Description
Portland 3x8m Professional marquees utilize thick, heavy duty 650g/m² roof & side covers to provide the best protection from all season weather. The 100% water-proof covers have a UV stabilised coating and are fire-retardant to BS5438 & BS7837.
Much like our premier marquees the professional range uses a durable frame that includes ground-bars & roof braces for added strength, eave-braces to prevent water pooling and gable uprights for added wind-resistance. As well as Keeping to our interchangeable sides system and envelope style roof but with a three panel gable and true 5 purlin roof design.
Similar in design and functionality to our Portland Premier but with a heavier-weight, more durable roof cover. Our Portland Pro range give our customers further choice when wanting a heavier duty marquee then available elsewhere.
Capacity
How many people can you fit in a 3x8m marquee?
A 3x8m marquee can fit up to 24 people seated or 35 people standing. Marquee seated capacity is calculated by using 5ft 6in round tables as is common in the marquee hire industry. This is the most efficient way to seat your guests to maximise space. Each 3x3m section of the marquee can fit 10 people at a 5ft 6in round table.
Standing capacity is calculated at 1.5X the seated capacity giving guests just under 1m square for dancing and space to move around.

Cover material
Our marquee covers use rip-stop technology making them tear resistant and long-life. There are many types of marquee PVC but we make sure only to use high-quality Duracoretex™ material. Covers are 100% waterproof with high-frequency welded seams, fire retardant to to BS5438 & BS7837 and UV stabilised.
Unlike other manufacturers we design our marquees with the gable triangle incorporated into the rest of the roof. This makes the end of the marquee more wind-resistant as it reduces the size of the end panel and therefore billowing in windy conditions.

Framework
Using galvanised steel poles mean that the framework is protected from corrosion and rust. Unlike powder coated frames a scratch or chip does not fundamentally compromise the coating. Whereas powder coated frames allow water to spread beneath the rest of the surface.
Galvanised steel is also easier to repair and maintain. If the framework becomes dull after a few years it can easily be refreshed with a galvanising spray.
