Fantastic Review from our friend at Southwell Bowls Club! – Thank you for your kind words Peter.

We used our gazebos from Mini-Marquees for the first time for our open bowls tournament on July 6th. Lee, from the company, very kindly came out to help us put them up.

Despite having shown us the ropes several weeks before. His extra tips were invaluable. During the day we had several heavy downpours and the gazebos proved to be completely watertight.

The gutter connection between the two ensured we remained snug and dry beneath, unlike our previous inferior ones where water would pour down the gap. They are clearly more robust than any previous ones we have tried and we have every confidence that they will survive strong winds, should they occur on future occasions.

When iconic brands need to stand out at events, they turn to premium solutions. That’s why DEFENDER partnered with Mini Marquees to deliver high-impact, fully branded event marquees that reflect their rugged reputation and strong visual identity.

• 2 x 6.0m x 3.0m Maxi Range Marquees
• 2 x 3.0m x 3.0m Maxi Range Marquees
• Screen Printed Branding for a long-lasting, professional finish

The Backbone of Performance

At the Dakar Rally, every second counts, and every piece of equipment plays a vital role. Maxi Range Mini Marquees are more than just temporary structures—they are the backbone of race team operations, offering a dependable foundation for success in the toughest environments.

We are pleased to announce that Trailfinders has recently acquired three marquees from our Maxi Range:

• One 6.0m x 3.0m marquee
• Two 3.0m x 4.5m marquees

These selections are designed to provide enhanced durability and ample branding space, aligning perfectly with Trailfinders’ promotional needs.

The Maxi Range, introduced in 2010, features thicker legs, stronger bars, increased clearance, and deeper valances, offering more space for brand exposure. The frame’s outer leg section measures 63mm x 56mm x 2mm, making it one of the sturdiest options available globally.

To ensure vibrant and long-lasting branding, Trailfinders opted for traditional screen printing on their marquees. This method provides exceptional clarity and durability, ensuring their brand stands out at every event. As Shown in the Video Above!

We are proud to support Trailfinders in their promotional endeavors and are confident that these marquees will serve them effectively in various events and activities. Check out the Timelapse below of our testing team, ensuring the new Maxi Range Mini Marquees are all in working order!
