  • we basically want to have a big barbecue party - much like the summer birthday parties, its just making sure that if it rains people are still covered and it is not a washout

    last birthday we had 75 people for the bbq, and we'd like to have possibly double that come to the house for the wedding party

  • A rope & pole marquee is what most people have in mind, but you'll need to allow about a yard around it for the guys.

    Pissed people and ropes strung out at ground level is either comedy gold or grounds for divorce, depending on exactly who it is that breaks their ankle...

    An aluminium framed marquee only occupies the quoted square footage and can be dressed to hide all the metalwork. It's also sturdy enough to shag against (apparently).

    Bearing in mind the occasion and the eventuality you want to guard against, flooring would be a good idea.

    Contact Danco in the first instance for an appraisal and quote, which will give you something to compare your friendly, local marquee hire against.

    If you do go with Danco it will be a cushy job, which means you'll get the top boys (as opposed to some "couldn't give a fuck" herberts that your friendly, local marquee hire has rounded-up from Weatherspoons).
