I\u2019m often asked why we don\u2019t powder coat our marquee framework so here\u2019s why:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When I suffered my back injury and realised I had to go into marquee sales rather than marquee hire I started to do some research. Basically I picked the brains of mates in the industry, various contacts and searched round for what the current options were.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The boundaries are getting greyer and greyer but people clearly differentiated between \u2018party tents\u2019 and \u2018commercial marquees\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
By general opinion party tents were made from thin PE material, were a budget option and had\u2026.powder coated framework.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Commercial marquees were always seen to have PVC covers, be more durable and long lasting and always used..galvanised metal framework.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Visiting a friends marquee hire business really made up our minds -he had a mixture of powder-coated and non-coated framework and after just one season the powder-coating was scratched and chipped. The galvanising looked better simply because it still had a uniform finish. As he said if people want a marque for anything other than a cover out of the elements then they\u2019ll use an interior lining anyway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I think most people would think a powder coated framework is superior when brand new. But our marquees are built to last a long time and after a few uses when that powder coating becomes scratched and peeling nearly everyone would agree galvanising\u2019s a better option.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
That\u2019s why we use galvanising.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Thanks for reading<\/p>\n\n\n\n
