Marquee tent - 5x8 m

A RAVISHING RESIDENCE!

The Epic Armoury Marquee Tent is based on designs that have been known since the mediaeval crusades. Whether you are a wealthy knight or part of an entire mercenary band, the Epic Armoury Marquee Tent offers a spacious and stylish abode with lined colours to signal your allegiance or natural colour for a versatile, non-aligned look. The roof is supported by two centre poles and 20 side poles, allowing for an open canopy setup without walls or a secluded setup with walls. As an upgrade from the typical design with tedious rope hoops, the wall pieces of the Epic Armoury Marquee Tent attach easily to the roof piece with fastening hooks. We have crafted the poles from powder-coated iron while the fabric consists of 100% heavy-duty (425g/m²) cotton, weatherproofed with paraffin wax for extra durability. With correct maintenance, the Epic Armoury Marquee Tent will keep you and your party sheltered throughout many adventurous seasons!

We recommend the Epic Armoury Pavilion Tent if you wish for a more rounded alternative with the same dual-coloured composition and quality. For a more subtle and lean design, the Epic Armoury Double Wedge Tent provides excellent shelter for you as an esteemed adventurer!

REGULAR OR COMPACT TENT POLES?

When buying your tent, you can choose between regular tent poles and compact tent poles. The regular poles feature full length, except for the centre poles and ridge poles, which are assembled from two or three pieces to ensure that no pole piece exceeds 200 centimetres. This provides a durable and simple setup, which may be preferable when there is plentiful packing space. The compact tent poles are designed so that no piece exceeds 110 centimetres, which means a lot when packing space is a concern. The compact tent poles are designed without locking mechanisms as the weight of the tent canvas ensures that a well-fastened tent stays safely on the ground. Remember to check and tighten the guy ropes regularly.

WHAT DOES MARQUEE MEAN?

The word marquee refers to a large tent of unusual elaborateness used for social or commercial functions. It is derived from the French words marquis (♂) and marquise (♀), a noble hereditary title ranking between earl and duke. Thus, a marquee tent refers to a place suitable for a marquis or marquise. With our modern adjustments to this historical classic, you and your party can now enjoy the adventurous roads with sheer audacity. Canapés are sold separately!
