Can you make two 6x6m marquees from one 6x12m marquee?
No.
Well that was a short blog..
This is a question I’m asked often by people planning a new marquee hire business and you can see where the confusion lies so probably requires a bit more explanation.
A marquee is made up of A-frames, end A-frames (where all the joints are 3-way) and middle A-frames (where all the joints are 4-way). If you’re planning on mixing up your marquee stock rather than keep them as individual marquees then you need to think in terms of how many A-frames (and roofs) you’re going to need for each job:
So you can see why you would be short if you tried to make two 6x6m marquees from one 6x12m, or indeed trying to make one 6x12m marquee from two 6x6m’s.
In my experience a good way to start a marquee hire business is to start with one 6x6m marquee, one 6x8m marquee and a 6x12m roof. You can see from the list above that a 6x6m and 6x8m will give you enough framework to create a 6x12m. This means you’re covering three different sizes so three chances of getting a booking.
Remember – if you buy one of our PVC roofs (6x12m say) like the example above but then find you’re so busy you need a 6x6m, 6x8m and 6x12m all on the same weekend then we’ll sell you the rest of the 6x12m marquee (frame and sides) at the same price as if you’d bought them with the roof originally so you wouldn’t be out of pocket.
Thanks for reading.
