Marquees
Clear Span Marquees from Pioneer marquees
Speed, strength, safety and simplicity
The frames of our clear span modular marquees are manufactured from high-grade aluminium extrusions to provide strength whilst minimising weight; there is no need for centre supports or guide ropes. The marquees can be located on most surfaces including tarmac, concrete and grass.
Pioneer Marquees can be manufactured to meet virtually any size requirement.
Versatility and adpatability- Extending your Modular marquee with add-on bays
Pioneer Marquees are extremely versatile. Typical bay sizes range from 3m to 5m and you can purchase add-on bays to make your structure larger. This adaptability means you can downsize your marquee if required. For example, your 6m x 12m marquee can quickly be transformed into a 6m x 3m, 6m x 6m or 6m x 9 structure – and without needing any additional components!
Transformability
You can transform your marquee into a truly spectacular venue by incorporating new stunning satin roof and wall linings.
Durability and quality – Pioneer Marquees are built to last, and here to stay.
Pioneer marquees heavy-duty PVC material simply slots into channels in the high-grade aluminium extruded framework - no bungee straps or ties are required. The joints and pedestal feet are made from heavy-duty galvanised steel and are bolted to the frame. They can withstand wind speeds of up to 80 mph when using the recommended tensions bars and ground anchor pegs. It’s like a chateau with PVC walls!
Canopy Roof Material



The Pioneer marquee canopy material is UV-stabilised, anti-fungus treated, and fire-retardant to stringent EU standards. Many modular marquees use 450g to 600g PVC. Pioneer marquees uses 750g PVC making it, we believe, the highest specification model available.
The marquee roof material is fire-rated to BS 5867:1980 Part 2
Side Panel Material
The marquee side panel covers are also UV-stabilised, anti-fungus treated and fire-retardant to stringent EU standards. 650g PVC material is used and the panels can be supplied with or without windows. There are no extra costs incurred if you do choose to have the attractive arched Georgian-style windows. The side panels include a central dutch lace entry so access can be created at any position around the structure and they can be tied back to the leg poles if desired. The side panel material is fire-rated to BS 5867:1980 Part 2.
Roof & Wall Satin Linings


Pioneer is delighted to introduce its high-quality, fire-retardant, satin lining.
The lining helps to create the effect and atmosphere perfect for weddings, parties, company meetings or corporate events. The 3m long lining drapes are gathered in to 1m for maximum effect. Linings are available in a variety of colours and fabric types and meet all current EU flame retardant requirements - BS 5867:1980 Part 2.
Galvanised Steel Ground Bars
All Pioneer marquee structures are supplied with ground bars as standard. The bars simply slot through the side panels and bolt to the legs to provide maximum stability. The bars also provide a clean, taut finish to the side panels of your marquee so no sagging walls blowing in the wind.
Wooden Modular Flooring on a Steel Sub-frame
Pioneer modular wooden flooring provides a level, solid and stable platform – ideal for dancing the night away!
The wooden flooring sits on a galvanised steel subframe which gives it its strength and solidity. The subframe is constructed in two layers:
• The bottom layer consists of steel cross-bearers: each cross-bearer has an integral base plate. The base plates are fixed firmly to the ground using earth anchors.
• The second layer comprises steel joists which sit on top of the cross-bearers. Lugs on the cross-bearers ensure the joists are held securely and accurately in place.
The pressure-treated wooden boards are laid on the subframe and locked in place by wooden battens. For adjoining flooring modules, an extruded aluminium edging is used to ensure perfect continuity.
Once you’ve laid your flooring, you can connect the legs of your tent structure directly into the subframe base plates.


Glazed Door Units
Your Gala Tent Modular can include high quality single or double door units. All door systems are supplied with a standard height of 2.10m.


Glazed Windows
Glazed window walls are available in a range of sizes to suit all structures. Manufactured from durable PVC material, and incorporating the latest in all-weather adhesives and high-frequency welding, the contemporary designed window walls enhances the visual appeal of your marquee.
Solid Wall System
The Pioneer ABS ‘solid wall’ system can be fitted on any of our modular structures in place of standard sidewall sections: it can also work in tandem with our modular wooden flooring. Single or double door units can be incorporated into your ABS ‘solid wall’ system.
The ABS ‘solid wall’ system is quick and easy to install, and enhances your Gala Tent structure by providing a feeling of robustness and permanency.

Gutter kits and infill panels are used when joining 2 or more structures in parallel. Heavy-duty anchor pegs are also a strongly recommended optional extra.
