Capacity

How many people can you fit in a 6x5m marquee?
A 6x5m marquee can fit up to 32 people seated or 48 people standing. Marquee seated capacity is calculated by using 5ft 6in round tables as is common in the marquee hire industry. This is the most efficient way to seat your guests to maximise space. Each 3x3m section of the marquee can fit 10 people at a 5ft 6in round table.
Standing capacity is calculated at 1.5X the seated capacity giving guests just under 1m square for dancing and space to move around.

Framework

Using galvanised steel poles mean that the framework is protected from corrosion and rust. Unlike powder coated frames a scratch or chip does not fundamentally compromise the coating. Whereas powder coated frames allow water to spread beneath the rest of the surface.
Galvanised steel is also easier to repair and maintain. If the framework becomes dull after a few years it can easily be refreshed with a galvanising spray.
