Marquees, Gazebos and Party Tents
Are Crocodile Trading Marquees and Gazebos waterproof?
|
Crocodile Trading marquees and gazebos are manufactured to an extremely high standard and all stitching is seam sealed where possible, this gives the material a greater water resistance. It is very rare that these marquees and gazebos leak, however, if a drip does occur then using a seam sealant on the area will usually remedy this. Condensation can often be mistaken for a leaking canopy, fortunately this cannot be avoided. Condensation can be caused by changes in temperature when left up overnight or for a long period of time, condensation may be reduced by airing out the structure on a regular basis. The gathering of condensation around the seams can give the wrong impression that the canopy is leaking.
Similarly, whilst offering extreme weather resistance, there is a point at which in a persistent terrential downpour light droplets of water may gather on seamed areas (as with any outdoor structure).

What is Polyester?
|
This is a cotton-based fabric, soft to the touch, and generally used for a more aesthetically pleasing appeal.
The fabric is generally used with a various mix of coatings to offer different results…
P.A. Coating. An invisible water resistant coating. Water resistance by definition means, will withstand and repel water in most conditions. However in severe, persistent or adverse conditions some water will penetrate.
P.U. Coating. Has an invisible water resistant coating water resistant as with P.A., but also U.V. resistant.
P.V.C Coating. A Shiny coating offering Water and U.V. resistance, but also more resistant to aging (though both P.A. and P.U. are reasonably tough coatings)

Why should I buy a Marquee rather than rent a Marquee?
|
Frequently purchasing a Marquee rather than hiring a Marquee can be a far more cost effective option, compared to the cost of hiring it is usually possible to buy a similar product outright. As we offer such a comprehensive range, you will hopefully find a Marquee that is specific to your individual requirement. Please visit our Why Hire a Marquee when you can buy a Marquee for less page for more information.
