Who it's for
The 6x3m is the sweet spot for backyard parties, engagements, market stalls and family events. Big enough for a long table or small dance floor, small enough to fit most yards. Catering for more? Step up to the 9x3m marquee (around 45 standing), the 6x6m fully enclosed marquee (around 60 standing) or the 10x5m wedding marquee (up to 80 standing). Not sure what fits? Run the numbers on our marquee size calculator.
How many people fit under a 6x3m marquee?
Around 30 standing, 20 seated in rows or 12 at dining tables. Add a dance floor, bar or buffet and allow an extra 25% space.
Can I set it up myself?
Two people, no special tools. Stand the frame, fit the roof, peg and rope the corners. Done.
Good to pair with. Festoon lights: a 6x3m takes 30m ($149), with spare to light a path or fence, see the festoon length guide. Keep it steady with marquee base weights ($129 for a 4 pack) and read how to weigh down a gazebo in wind. Planning a party?
