There are two distinct types of structure we can supply, traditional marquees and aluminium structures. Each has its own advantage. Traditional marquees are the standard marquee that has existed for many years. 

One of the most important aspects when planning a function in a temporary structure is getting the correct size. If the marquee is too large, it can feel as if not enough people have attended, too small and people are cramped for space.

Each type of marquee has their own benefits. Aluminium structures' main benefit is that there are no poles in the structure. 

Not really, as long as the slope is relatively even, most back gardens are level enough. If the ground does undulate, we can get it levelled with scaffolding. We can put marquees up over swimming pools and garden outhouses.

For events such as weddings and corporate hospitality events, we put a coloured lining on the inside of the marquee. This is a silk-like material that covers the inside of the marquee and gives the marquee a better atmosphere.

There are a few options available for floor coverings. If the grass or ground that the marquee is on is flat enough, for a simple back garden party you can do without anything. The next option is matting. 

How many tables you require depends on the event. For weddings and fully catered corporate hospitality events round tables are usually used. For more basic events trestle tables are normally used. 

There are many lighting options available. For more basic events we usually supply double head spot lights. These provide basic functional lighting. For smarter events we can supply three types of chandeliers, white globe, wrought iron and crystal. 

We currently supply two types of dance floor. A parquet style floor and a black and white chequerboard floor. The parquet is available in sizes of 3' multiples and the black and white in 2' multiples. 

A major consideration when organising an event, particularly for the general public, is safety. As all our marquees, aluminium structures and linings are made in-house, we know they are well made and what stresses and strains they can withstand. 

Have a look at our price list on this site. Please note there may well be a delivery charge, so for example, if you are in Cornwall and are looking for a tent for a small party in your back garden, we will probably not have the most competitive prices.

In the bizarre chance that Crockers are not suitable for your event, there are a few pointers that are worth remembering when looking for another company. Membership of Performance Textiles Association is one.
