Petal Pole Marquees

We have undertaken extensive research and gone to great lengths to ensure we have selected a product specifically designed to withstand the UK weather and climate, and one which is crafted from fully weatherproofed, white canvas.

Handcrafted on a farm nestled in the Surrey countryside, our Petal Pole marquees are produced using low impact manufacturing, from natural materials. All of the central poles and each wall pole are wooden and crafted from sustainable, Douglas fir timber.

All our marquees are fire retardant and are analysed by structural engineers to ensure they meet UK and European standards. The natural, breathable canvas used in the manufacture of our Petal Pole marquees is of a superior quality and has been fully tested to ensure it can withstand European weather conditions. For an event as important as your wedding day, we would not settle for anything less. p>

A traditional design that’s been given a modern twist, our Petal Pole marquees are distinguished by their sweeping roof lines, gently scalloped canopy, and the light and airy atmosphere they create. They are produced with the utmost attention to detail by skilled craftsman and feature:

-Gently scooped roofline

-Distinctive, scalloped roof canopy

-Traditional wooden tent pegs

-Natural style guy ropes

-A combination of solid, white canvas and full, panoramic clear side walls (fully removable in good weather)

-Beautiful hand turned, wooden finials that can be supplied in different shapes and have been made in the UK by R L Trim marquees, a  small family run business  based in Cerne Abbas, Dorset for over 50 years

Our marquees are lovingly handmade in the UK by a manufacturer that has been making marquees since 1884, having started out making them for the family catering business. With such heritage and provenance comes a mastery of artistry and quality that is paramount to our offering.

As you would expect, through generations of experience, our manufacturer has created a design with structural integrity and beauty at its heart. This requires a particular technique to be employed in the installation of the Petal Pole marquees which makes them structurally stronger and more weatherproof than other designs whereby a gap remains at the top of each central pole, allowing water to get through. Whilst the method employed in their installation makes our Petal Pole marquees more time consuming to build, it is worth it for the peace of mind it affords when it comes to the great British weather.
