Nothing is too much trouble for Myreton, we will be happy to discuss any bespoke request and provide you with a quality, affordable solution, built and supplied with traditional values.
We realized we had the ability to create some very high quality products that far outperformed what we had been buying elsewhere. That allowed us to control the quality of the tents we delivered to our customers everything was representative of Myreton's extremely high standards
We would like to think that you get as much enjoyment out of buying or hiring and using a Myreton Marquee as we get making it.

Weddings
There are different types of tents, and the sort you choose will impact on the final wedding decor.For standard tents, the key difference is with poles or without.Clearspan frame tents without poles are good if you want a nice clear space uninterrupted by poles - essential for tents that double up as reception and ceremony location when an uninterrupted view is required.They have a number of practical advantages:•they don't absolutely have to be pegged to the ground so they can sit on hard surfaces like patios•they can be configured into L-shapes or other shapes to fit into awkward areasPole tents are more traditional. There are two sorts:•Tension tents have high centre poles and striking sculpted roofs both outside and in. They feel very roomy inside and are good for grand wedding receptions. Not a budget option.•Simple pole tents are less expansive and more affordable, with poles around the edge and in the middle.Both sorts work well for classic weddings, or those with a romantic or fairy-tale theme.Lining: traditionally decorated wedding tents are lined - the walls are draped with a silky fabric for a sensuous and luxurious look. Linings can be plain or striped, smooth or ruched, and white or colour. Vendors will vary in the linings they have available.Lining works well if you want classic tent decor. It can go well with romantic or traditional themes as well.Lining is not essential though. Unlined tents are cheaper, and look plainer and more functional, which can work well with a modern or informal style of decoration.Flooring: you get to choose the floor too. There are a number of options:•Carpet: can warm things up or make an event more formal depending on the overall decor•Sisal or matting: the mid-range option. Works well with contemporary style wedding receptions•Astro-turf: cheap and fun•Hardwood floor: expensive and smart. A wise move if the weather might be poor and the ground wet•Nothing at all: can be nice for informal wedding receptions. But only really practical if the ground beneath is nice and smoothNot all tents have supporting poles. And if they do, they dont have to be decorated. Unadorned metal poles work well with contemporary or minimalist styles, or with informal events with open sides.But for canvas with poles, the poles need to be considered as they can look too functional alongside classic or themed decor.Winding leaves or leaves with flowers around the poles is a common tactic.

FAQ's
What if it's a windy day? Our tents have been designed, tested and engineered for extreme weather conditions. When set up properly. Can a tent be set up on cement or concrete? Yes, the tent has to be anchored by either drilling holes or anchoring the ropes to adequate weights to hold the tent down. The sides as well, have to be anchored to the ground, to prevent them from folding in if it is windy. All Rental Tents are Secured with Stakes Driven into the Ground.Can we set up the tents our selves?No, we do not allow anyone to set up our tents. Reason why? The tents consist of many different parts, which can be damaged. We would also have to spend time training you on how to set up a tent properly which would accrue extra fees. Can you heat the inside of the tent? And how? Yes, we have what is called a tent heater. How? By attaching a 80,000 BTU heater to the side of the tent that is powered by a 20lb or more propane tank. What if we decide on the day of set up that we want or don't want walls? When we come out to set up a tent we usually bring the walls with us just incase mother nature is not cooperating and you decide that you may need walls. We would put the walls up before we leave. If the weather is nice we would just leave the walls off. You may also if you like just put a few walls up for coverage and privacy.We hope that the above information we have provided has answered any questions you may have while planning your party.
