UK Tents: marquees, gazebos and event shelters sold direct

UK Tents supplies marquees, party tents, pop-up gazebos and a broad catalogue of related accessories. The company presents itself as a UK-based supplier of professional-quality marquees and accessories at competitive prices, and its range spans from low-cost PE party tents to fire-resistant certified PVC structures. The business began ten years ago as a marquee hire company, according to its own account, and moved into supply after encountering problems with its suppliers.

Marquees and party tents

The marquee catalogue is organised by material and specification. The strongest option is a 550gsm professional PVC marquee, offered in a range of sizes and intended for both home and commercial use; it includes ground bar, cross bars and fire resistance. Below that sit Premium and Economy PVC marquees at 500gsm, and a 200gsm PE party tent line for the most economical end of the range. The site states that all marquees are 100% waterproof and UV resistant, with windows designed to admit natural light. Side panels and gable walls can be removed individually, which also allows different entrances to be created. Frames are made from fully galvanised, anti-corrosive steel. The company advises ventilating a heated marquee to avoid condensation.

Pop-up gazebos and garden structures

Pop-up gazebos are offered in three sizes and five colours, with or without side wall panels, and are described as quick to assemble. The wider outdoor range extends beyond event shelters: stretch tents, garden awnings, pergolas, garden gazebos, polytunnels, carports and portable garages, plus storage tents and industrial tents. Industrial tents start at £999 in the catalogue, while the marquee range starts at £269, pop-up gazebos at £149, garden gazebos at £699, awnings at £199, pergolas at £1655, storage tents at £649, carports at £699 and stretch tents at £649, according to the prices shown on the site.

Accessories, lining and spare parts

Accessories cover storm protection kits for wind and bad weather, flooring and carpet, marquee and gazebo connectors and gutters, gazebo lighting, securing methods, carry and storage bags, and spare parts. Lining is made to measure for each marquee model and sold from 10 metres, which the company says allows customers to combine several colours economically. Five colours are listed — white, cream, pink, blue and black — with special colours available on request. The fabric is a silky satin with a shine finish, attached with Velcro hoops. Spare parts are held in stock for all products, backed by a stated 10-year guaranteed spare parts availability, and the company says its team can identify the required part.

Commercial customers and purchasing terms

UK Tents states that it is trusted by some of the UK's leading public and private sector companies. Among the accounts published on the site, London Underground describes buying a 5 x 8 premium marquee, professional flooring and a storm protection kit for hard ground to store Central line train doors at its Stratford depot. Other testimonials refer to an 8 x 20 marquee delivered to Aberdeen and a 3 x 6 PVC Professional for home use. The site also mentions same-day pickup availability, finance available, a price-beating promise against competing quotes, and free specialist advice by phone.
