Steel v Alloy - why our standard and commercial grades are steel.

There are many domestic style cheap products available from discount warehouses etc. The moving parts are usually riveted together and the lightweight alloy is not designed to take much pressure.

In order to keep ANY marquee in place in a wind it is imperative that it is secured to the ground. For this we recommend weights for the legs and also the use of ratchet straps...

                            

Imagine we hook one end of the ratchet strap to the frame mechanism underneath the canopy...

           
and the other end to a corkscrew peg in the ground...
                                    
...and we ratchet the strap nice and tight.

At this point a lightweight alloy marquee frame will buckle, bend and collapse! - before its even been subjected to ANY WIND!!

The above procedure for tie down is one that we RECOMMEND you use for any ANY of our shelters, and the above picture is one of our STANDARD grade marquees.

As we rise up the marquee ranges  so we increase the force which can be endured and the overall durability of the frame structure and components.
