Detail & Design

Sailcloth marquee with lighting - Buffalo Tipi and Marquee hire - West Country and Cotswolds

Our Sailcloth marquees combine classic simplicity with a nod to American maritime heritage. They blend the traditional white appearance of classic marquees with the sleek, modern form of a stretch tent—where tradition meets smart design.

Supported by sturdy poles, the single canopy creates a bright, open space that can be easily decorated with lighting, florals, and other hanging features. As night falls, the translucent fabric gives a warm glow, making the tent feel inviting while standing out from the outside. Adaptable and practical, it suits a wide range of events in any setting.

Functionality & Flexibility

The design of our Sailcloth tents balances practicality with clean, simple aesthetics. This makes them a great fit for UK events, offering an open, airy space in summer while providing cover and flexibility for unpredictable weather.

unique canvas

During the day, the unique translucent canvas fills the interior with natural light, and at night, the tent emits a warm glow. The canvas is also the strongest “sailcloth” material on the market.

WEATHERSHIELD

Our Sailcloth marquees feature a modern, unique design that seals the roof canvas to the walls. Unlike traditional marquees, this creates a watertight seal, keeping even more of the wind and rain out.

adaptable walls

Optional transparent sides let in natural light while keeping the weather out and can be easily rolled up or down as needed. White walls can also be added to shield back-of-house areas.
