“Really happy with the marquee we bought from Brisbane Marquee Sales. The quality is great, it was easy to set up and the team were really helpful with choosing the right size for what we needed. Would definitely recommend.”
About this marquee
A 12x6m marquee for sale gives you 72m² of fully enclosed floor space for $1,899, one of the largest tents we sell. It seats around 48 people for a sit-down dinner or holds roughly 120 standing, with removable window walls and zip up doors at both ends. Sold out for now: pre-order today to reserve one from the next shipment, shipping end of November 2026, with free delivery to most of Australia.
Who this size is for
72m² is wedding reception territory. It is the size you want when the guest list has passed 40 and a smaller marquee would have people eating with their chairs against a wall. At 12 metres long and 6 metres wide you can run three banquet tables down the length, keep a 2 metre aisle clear, and still have room at one end for a bar, a cake table or a small dance floor.
It also works hard as a commercial unit. Market stallholders, caterers, community groups and school fetes use this footprint because it covers a lot of ground for one purchase and packs back into a manageable set of bags.
Not sure 72m² is right? Our marquee size calculator sizes it off your guest count in about ten seconds.
Open, part enclosed or sealed up
Every wall panel is independent. Take them all off for a summer market and you have a 72m² shade roof with clear sightlines. Fit the two long walls and leave the ends open for a breezeway. Or close the lot, zip both doors, and you have a weatherproof room. The zip up ends tie back so guests are not fighting a flapping wall every time they walk through.
The 160g/m² UV treated roof is heavier than the 140g/m² walls on purpose. The roof takes the sun and the rain, the walls only need to stop wind and spray.
Setting it up
Budget three to four hours and three or four people for a first build at this size. It is 12 metres of steel frame and it is not a one person job. Lay the roof flat, assemble the frame around it, then lift the whole roof into place as a team and pin the legs.
This is an occasional use structure, not a permanent building, and a 72m² roof catches a serious amount of wind. It must be weighted or pegged at every leg, every time. Read how to weigh down a marquee in wind before your first event, because a tent this size needs meaningfully more ballast than a small gazebo.
How it compares in our range
The 6x6m marquee at $949 covers 36m², exactly half this footprint, and suits 24 seated. The 10x5m luxury wedding marquee at $1,599 has 50m² and the only aluminium frame in our range, which makes it lighter to handle and a better pick if you set up and pack down often. Need more than 72m²? The 12x7m grand marquee at $2,299 is our biggest at 84m². This 12x6m is the one to buy when 72m² is the right amount of floor space.
Yours for every event
At $1,899 the 12x6m is yours to keep. For a venue, a community group or anyone who hosts more than once, it is ready whenever the next event comes around.
Good to pair with. Festoon lights: a 12x6m takes 80m ($379) or 90m ($419), see the festoon length guide. Keep it steady with sandbags or weight plates strapped to every leg. Our base weight pods are made for 25mm poles and this frame is 38mm, so they do not fit this size. Planning a wedding?
