A 3x6m commercial marquee for £150. It is ten feet wide, twenty feet long and twelve feet high, with side panels we can fit or leave off to suit your event. It is a size that suits a run of gala stalls, a fete, a small garden party or the extra space a wedding needs, and we deliver it, build it and take it down again.

What fits under it

Ten feet by twenty is 200 square feet of floor, just under 19 square metres. That is three of our 6ft folding banquet tables end to end down the long side with room to stand behind them, a cake and present table with space for guests to get past, or a signing-in and raffle table at a fete. The roof is pitched and the cover is commercial grade.

Sides go on one, two or three walls, or all the way round, with the open end where you want folk to come in. Tell us on the booking form how you want it left and the crew will build it that way.

Where it can go

Inside on a hard floor, outside on grass, or outside on a hard surface. Grass is the easiest because we can peg the legs down; on a patio, tarmac or a car park we weight them instead and check the site first, which is why the booking form asks for the venue and postcode. A very slight slope is fine, a steep one is not. If there are steps, gravel or a narrow gate on the way in, say so early and the crew will plan the carry.

Power, lighting and weather

The marquee itself needs no electricity. Lighting and heating can be added for an extra charge, and those want a 240 volt socket near the set-up point or a generator if the site has none. We carry £10 million public liability cover, and every lead and light we bring is PAT tested.

If the forecast turns foul, call us before the delivery arrives and there is no charge for cancelling. That is the same weather rule we apply to every hire.

What it costs

£150 for the hire. Delivery, setup and collection are included within 10 miles of Larbert, and we quote by postcode for the rest of Scotland, Stirling and Clackmannanshire included. It can stay overnight for £50 where the site is secure, which suits a two-day fete or a wedding where the tables are laid the night before. Schools and PTAs get 10% off weekday bookings.

Which size

• 3x3m, £70. Ten feet square, for a single stall, a signing-in table or extra space at a house party: Marquee 3x3m.
• 3x6m, £150. This one. A row of stalls down the long side, a bar under cover, or a cake table and a few guests out of the drizzle.
• 6x10m, £350. Sixty square metres of framed marquee with sides and a doorway: Marquee 6x10m.

If you are torn between them, tell us what is going underneath and how many people you expect, and we will say which one fits.

Where it has been

We have used the 3x6m for a small wedding reception, and the bigger marquees go out every June for the Awakening Festival at Callendar Park in Falkirk, where they stand alongside the inflatables, power and staff. We are a family-run firm in Stenhousemuir, trading since 1972, and we hold a 4.9 rating from 54 Google reviews.

Most of our hires are in Larbert, Stenhousemuir and the Falkirk district, with Stirling and Clackmannanshire a short run up the road and Glasgow and Edinburgh further out. Summer is when the diary fills, so a June or July date is worth booking early.
