How to find the best canvas marquees for sale and hire in East Anglia
If you’ve been thinking about hiring a canvas marquee for an event, or buying one as an investment in your business, there are a few things you should think about before you part with your money.
1. Is the company you’re getting it from a reputable one?
Is their reputation good in the industry?
Have they been in business for a long time, with a good track record of supplying a quality product and good customer service? These are all important factors to consider if you’re thinking about spending what will be quite a considerable amount on a top-quality canvas marquee.
2. Is the company a member of MUTA?
This is the made-up textiles association, an industry association set up to improve standards in the industry. Marquee manufacturers who are serious about high standards will be members of MUTA, and their canvas marquees should be good quality.
3. Can you visit and see the product?
Any decent supplier will be more then happy for you to visit their premises and check out their marquees.
They’ll also consult with you to make sure you get exactly the right marquee for your event or business, and talk you through all the options, including any marquee accessories you’ll need to make your marquee work best for you.
4. What else do they offer?
Let’s say you’re going to buy a large semi-permanent marquee for your hotel to use as an extra wedding venue. You’ll need lots of advice, help, and most likely a maintenance package too.
How about storage?
If you’re planning to take the marquee down in the winter, will the company store it for you?
