With our extensive selection of aluminium profiles, coupled with our in-house production capabilities and dedication to sustainability, we provide innovative aluminium solutions from the initial design phase through to the final product. The frame components, such as trusses, connectors, and baseplates, work together seamlessly to distribute weight evenly and ensure the entire structure remains secure. All while ensuring compliance with industry standards for marquees.

The benefits of aluminium extrusions for marquees

Aluminium extrusions offer extensive benefits for marquees and tents, making them an ideal choice for their structural frames. Here are the key advantages:

Lightweight and easy to handle

Aluminium is much lighter than other materials, making it easier to transport, handle, and assemble the marquee or tent. This reduces labor costs and time during setup and teardown.

Exceptional strength-to-weight ratio

Aluminium extrusions are known for their impressive strength-to-weight ratio. This ensures that the structure can withstand various environmental stresses, such as wind, rain, and snow, while remaining relatively light and easy to manage.

Corrosion resistance

Aluminium naturally forms a protective oxide layer that helps resist corrosion, even in harsh weather conditions. This makes aluminium frames particularly suitable for outdoor use, as they require less maintenance and have a longer lifespan.

Durability

Aluminium extrusions are highly durable, capable of enduring the wear and tear associated with frequent setup and dismantling.

Smooth and consistent surface

Aluminium has smooth, consistent surfaces, which not only improve the appearance of the marquee or tent but also reduce the risk of sharp edges or imperfections that could affect the structure’s safety.

Versatility

The versatility of aluminium extrusions allows for easy integration of other components, such as connectors, baseplates, and trusses, which can be precisely engineered to fit the specific requirements of the marquee design.

Weather resistance

Aluminium's resistance to weathering, including UV radiation, extreme temperatures, and moisture, ensures that the marquee frame retains its integrity and appearance over time, even in challenging conditions.

Applications of aluminium extrusions for marquees

The design flexibility and inherent properties of aluminium make it indispensable across various applications:

• Handrails
  

  Aluminium extrusions are ideal for lightweight, durable handrails in marquee structures. These provide safety and support while being easy to install and maintain.

• Ramps
  

  Aluminium extrusions can be used to create sturdy and lightweight ramps for accessibility, offering strength and resistance to corrosion for long-term use.

• Cassette flooring
  

  Designed for modularity and strength, aluminium cassette flooring systems offer a solid foundation for marquee interiors while being easy to assemble and disassemble.

• Roof beams
  

  Whether curved or straight, aluminium roof beams provide essential support and stability, distributing loads evenly and enabling elegant, open designs.

• Upright columns
  

  Extruded aluminium columns offer excellent load-bearing capacity while maintaining a sleek appearance, ideal for marquee frames

• Bracing
  

  Aluminium bracing components are critical for structural integrity, enhancing the marquee's ability to withstand wind and other forces.

• Jack legs
  

  Adjustable jack legs made from aluminium allow for easy leveling and stabilization of marquee structures on uneven terrain.

• Curved roof beams or straight

  Aluminium allows for precise engineering of both curved and straight roof beams, accommodating diverse design preferences and functional requirements.

Anodizing for excellence

Anodizing is an electrochemical process that creates a durable, corrosion-resistant, and aesthetically appealing surface on aluminium. For marquee frames, anodizing offers:

• Increased durability

  The anodized layer protects the aluminium from wear, scratches, and corrosion, extending the life of the components.

• Customisable appearance

  Available in a variety of finishes and colors, anodizing enhances the visual appeal of aluminium extrusions, ensuring they align with the marquee's aesthetic requirements.

• Maintenance-free solution

  Anodized surfaces are easy to clean and maintain, reducing the upkeep needed for marquee structures.

Alloys

We proudly offer aluminium alloys 6082 and 6005, known for their exceptional strength, durability, and machinability. These alloys are ideal for marquee applications due to their impressive mechanical properties, ensuring long-lasting performance under demanding conditions. We offer aluminium extrusions in lengths of up to 15 meters, accommodating the needs of larger, more ambitious marquee designs.
