Protection Against the Elements

Waterproof Rain Protection

British weather can change quickly, which is why waterproof performance is essential for any outdoor structure.

The Elite PVC and Fusion Modular ranges use heavy-duty PVC covers with welded seams to provide dependable waterproof protection during prolonged rainfall and challenging outdoor conditions.

UV-Resistant Outdoor Shelter

Extended exposure to sunlight can damage lower-quality materials over time, leading to fading, brittleness, and reduced weather resistance.

All Gala Tent marquees use UV-protected materials designed to withstand regular outdoor exposure while helping maintain the long-term condition of the covers.

This makes them suitable for repeated seasonal use and longer-term outdoor deployment.

Wind-Resistant Marquee Systems

Strong anchoring and correct installation are essential when operating any marquee in windy conditions.

Gala Tent marquee systems are engineered with durability in mind, with each range offering different levels of wind resistance depending on framework strength and anchoring setup.

Typical Wind Resistance

* Wind resistance depends on correct anchoring, installation, site conditions, and ongoing weather monitoring.

Semi-Permanent Outdoor Marquees

Many customers use Gala Tent marquees for extended outdoor deployment across hospitality, events, and operational environments.

Semi-permanent marquee applications include:

• pub garden cover
• outdoor dining areas
• event hospitality
• temporary warehousing
• sports facilities
• agricultural shelter
• seasonal venue expansion
• long-term garden structures

Fusion Modular marquees are particularly well suited to semi-permanent use thanks to their industrial-grade aluminium framework and modular scalability.

How to Secure a Marquee Properly

Correct anchoring plays a major role in marquee safety and weather performance.

Soft Ground Installation

For grass and softer surfaces, heavy-duty storm straps and pegs should always be used alongside ground bars where possible.

Hard Ground Installation

On concrete or hardstanding surfaces, every leg should be secured using appropriate weighted anchoring systems such as:

• concrete weights
• water weight systems
• fixed anchor points where suitable

Reduce Wind Resistance

During stronger winds, removing sidewalls can help reduce pressure on the structure by minimising wind-sail effects.

Monitor Weather Conditions

Always monitor local forecasts and avoid erecting marquees during strong winds or severe weather conditions.
