Fitted Event Marquee Walls and Wallkits
Adding walls to pop up event marquees serves a number of purposes, both for convenience and style, as well as for strength. Connecting walls to the well anchored event marquee increases overall structural integrity and resistance to wind as highlighted in the HRIA Marquee Weighting Guide. UPF50+ marquee walls that are waterproof, and have mesh will also keep rain, wind, and bugs at bay. Customise your event marquee with walls from our selection.

What is regarded as an event marquee?
An event marquee is a portable shelter, like a tent, that is designed and engineered to safely and reliably protect people from the weather when exposed to rain, sun, and wind. The event shelter is structurally engineered to withstand imposing weather conditions, such as high winds, torrential rain, and direct UV light from the sun. A well-designed marquee frame is sturdy, durable, and can be anchored to the ground and all must comply with public event regulations for the area where they’re used. The addition of walls is also a design feature to allow for the custom marquee setup and to cater to the weather and event type.
FAQ's About Our Event Marquees For Sale
Do Altegra event marquees protect from the sun?
Yes, Altegra event marquee canopies have all been tested in Australia for their sun protection value and are rated for maximum protection. All marquee fabric roofs and fitted marquee walls will protect with a UPF50+ Excellent rating.
Are Altegra folding event marquees waterproof?
Yes, all our folding event marquees are covered with a 100% Waterproof canopy. Both custom printed and stock coloured options will protect your event attendees from a heavy downpour.
The addition of waterproof walls is also a standard built-in feature with our full-length, 360° inner velcro strip to enhance your marquee’s protection from the rain.
How much does a portable marquee for schools cost?
The cost of a school marquee depends on its size, strength, and if custom branding is required. A marquee that has been certified safe for school use will range between $800 for a standard coloured canopy on a certified marquee and $4,000 for a fully customised large-span marquee that can shelter 50 or more event attendees.
What safety standard should I look for in a school marquee?
Marquees need to be engineered to achieve and hold section 238 compliance – Australia’s highest safety standard for marquees to ensure they have the integrity to be used at public events.
The marquee engineering standard ensures that the pop up shelter will retain its integrity when faced with severe or sudden weather conditions, keeping its occupants sheltered and those attending the event safe.
Are marquee leg weights required?
If your event marquee cannot be staked to the ground at each leg, it is a mandatory safety requirement to use marquee leg weights to anchor each leg to the ground.
All marquee event safety compliance is engineered around the HRIA Marquee Weighting guide that evidences the significant forces imposed upon your event marquee and the anchoring for each size to remain safe.
What size event marquee should I buy?
The best event marquee size for your event will depend upon your marquee’s occupancy and its portability requirements. While a single, large-span marquee might suit your occupancy or sheltered area needs, its increased size makes it more challenging to set up and transport.
Therefore, while a smaller marquee may only shelter 50% of your intended guests, it is also significantly more portable and easier to set up than a larger size. Erecting two small event marquees and securing them together with connecting brackets and a gutter will provide the same protection area and be far easier to set up.
What is your event marquee warranty?
All Altegra event marquees are our event compliant aluminium frames that are all backed by our unrivalled Lifetime Warranty. That’s confidence!
