I hope this page helps you erect your marquee quickly and
safely. There are as many ways of erecting a marquee as there
are days in the week, however I've been erecting marquees
for over 20 years and this seems the safest and quickest.
However our 20' wide marquees don't come with ridge poles,
although there is some noticeable dip in the roof we have
found that this does not compromised the strength and makes
the marquee much easier to put up. If your marquee has ridge
poles (and I can't convince you to bin them!) you will need
to push all the poles up together from the side.
Safety first!
