• There are many different types of marquees, of
  which the most common nowadays, is the aluminium
  frame marquee. This type of marquee is the most
  favoured because its clever design allows the
  most amount of flexibility of use of the space
  within it. By not having a support pole
  positioned in the middle of the tent, framed
  marquees allow you to layout your event without
  being restricted by internal vertical poles.
• Traditional Pole Marquees
• Most traditional pole marquees are made of
  canvas, which is kept under tension by support
  poles and guy ropes. The guy ropes are then
  attached to soft ground. This is much like when
  you attach a camping tent with pegs to the
  ground, but on a much larger scale. This
  requirement for the marquee to be fastened to the
  ground, to maintain its stability, is one of the
  main limitations with pole marquees.

• Because pole marquees can't be positioned on
  hard surfaces, sandy areas or gravel areas in
  large gardens, their use is rather limited. Once
  other types of marquee came onto the marquee hire
  market that offered more versatility in where you
  could put them, pole marquees became a thing of
  the past. https//www.astramarquees.co.uk/garden-m

• Aluminium Frame Marquees
• Modern frame marquee design allows them to be
  positioned on car park areas, on a beach and or
  even on the deck of a barge. Because they rely on
  a rigid aluminium frame to hold the tent
  structure together, frame marquees can easily be
  located on hard or soft surfaces. And have the
  added benefit of not having support poles getting
  in the way of your choice of event layout inside
  the tent.
• This versatility allows frame marquees to be able
  to be located over garden ponds, swimming pools,
  trees shrubs and flower beds. This allows for a
  more visually exciting and interactive event
  area. Frame marquees are also a lot more stable
  than traditional pole marquees and have a longer
  shelf life, which is especially beneficial for
  marquee hire.

• Another key benefit of frame marquees is that
  they can easily be erected against a wall, using
  it as a wall for the marquee. This is ideal for
  garden parties and wedding receptions, where the
  back entrance to a house can be used. This allows
  the hosts of the party to utilise areas of their
  house and the marquee area for their event.
• Whereas pole marquees are for the most part made
  from canvas, frame marquees are made from a PVC
  or PE (polythene) material. These modern
  materials benefit from being stronger and much
  easier to maintain and clean. Checkout
