“The Good:
- The frame is really sturdy and solid. We set up on a very windy day and it stayed up for a couple of days, did not move and nothing to worry about
- Chose the pick-up option and although it was not available from my closest location, the collection was easy enough and I got some help loading it in the car
- Great size and looks as described
- Relatively easy to put together by 2 people (once you get the instructions!)
The Not so Good:
- The main disappointment is to have some damage in the roof upon opening the box. Stitches with small holes/scrapes and on top of the roof some area definitely not up to standard. Unfortunately, we really needed it and did not have the luxury of time to return/discuss before driving it to the Gold Coast. Really disappointing.
- A bit of a concern on the waterproofing side, especially on the hems. It seemed ok under very mild rain but quite quickly we could see the water coming through the stitches. Unsure if it is properly providing water protection under average rain at this stage.
- Just one other detail is the poles coming very greasy and needing a good wipe to avoid staining the white cover, Quite time consuming and did not expect this.
Overall, heavy duty, most definitely. Fairly easy to put together. Holds well. The questions of water resistance and durability to be found out as we go... And a shame to have had a damaged item when brand new...”
“I purachased a budget marquee before this one it was flimsy and the metal poles snapped in a bit of wind. I found this one on always direct and noticed it was double the weight. all components are solid construction and I have now used it about 6 times over the space of 3 years with no sign of wear yet. I never review products but for the price and quality I am extremely happy with this purchase. the only repairs I have had to make are on the cardboard box it came in which is now coated in duct tape lol.”
“I ordered the 8 X 4 marquee when I found I wasn't able to hire one. The quality is excellent, it was easy to put up, and the total cost was significantly less than to hire one.”
