Atrium Tent Gable Roof Wedding Marquee Large Banquet Seating Blockout PVC Cover

Atrium Tent Gable Roof Wedding Marquee Large Banquet Seating Blockout PVC Cover

Once you pass 150 guests, catering logistics start to drive the tent spec more than looks do. This 12m shape exists for a reason: round tables of ten need about 6m of working room including service aisles, and a double bank fits neatly across a 12m width with a central dance floor left over. It is the smallest span that still behaves like a real ballroom, which is why it is our most ordered wedding size in Europe and North America.

Standout details

• Fits two rows of five-foot banquet rounds plus a central service aisle
• Classic gable roof line sits well against manor houses, barns and garden pavilions
• Blockout roof and walls can be lined and insulated for winter receptions
• 6061 T6 aluminium frame keeps the floor plan flexible and the whole structure easy to re-erect
• Anchoring covers grass, tarmac and existing timber decks - no permanent works
• Heating and flooring ready, so it works as a true winter ballroom

Available Sizes & Customisation

Available in spans from 9m to 30m, with the length built in 5m bays to suit your seating rows exactly. Colour, lining, glass doors, windows and flooring are all customisable.

Ideal applications

• Seated wedding banquets of 150-200 guests with table service

Common questions

Our background

Tendars engineers work backwards from your seating plan rather than selling a stock size, so a tent ordered through us tends to arrive sized to the room you actually drew.

Structure & Space

• Clear-span gable (A-frame) design - no interior column, so the whole floor stays open.
• Span range 3-60m; length extends without limit in 3m and 5m bays.
• 100% usable space - banquet rounds, a runway or a stage can be arranged freely, with no sightline blocked.

Frame & Materials

• 6061-T6 hard pressed extruded aluminium, anodised or fluorocarbon finish; hot-dip galvanised steel connectors.
• About one third the weight of steel - corrosion free, paint free, re-installable again and again.
• Frame life of 15-20 years under normal use, with spare parts kept available.

Roof & Wall Fabric

• Roof 850 g/sqm and sidewall 650 g/sqm double PVC, heat sealed rather than stitched.
• Flame retardant to DIN 4102 B1 / M2 and NFPA 701; waterproof, UV resistant, rated -30 to +70 deg C.
• The DIN 4102 B1 fire test report matters more than any brochure image - it is the hard requirement for large event fire approval.

Enclosure Upgrades

• Standard on the glass model: tempered glass curtain walls with glass doors.
• Alternatives: PVC soft wall, ABS hard wall, or insulated sandwich panel wall.
• Benefit: far more premium than soft PVC, usable as a semi-permanent building, able to connect to an existing building, with better acoustics and insulation.

Wind, Snow & Fixing

• Design wind load 100-120 km/h (Beaufort 10-12); snow load 0.3-0.5 kN/sqm.
• Three fixing methods: grass ground anchors, concrete expansion bolts, or marble counterweight plates.
• A lawn can be used without breaking its surface; the other two methods cover concrete and hard standing.

Integrated Fit-out

• Flooring system, air conditioning, lighting hanging points, and ceiling or curtain drapes.
• Rain gutters carry drainage away where tents are joined side by side.
• Delivered as a turnkey package - the suspended light fittings and long tables seen in banquet photos are a typical ready-to-use set.

Delivery & Assembly

• Modular socket-and-bolt assembly with no welding on site.
• Roughly 1,000 sqm assembles in 4-8 hours.
• Production 15-25 days - friendly to tight event schedules, and equally suitable as a permanent building.

What serious buyers check before they order

Ranked by the weight each point carries in the decision:

1. Safety & compliance. A third-party fire test report (not a verbal flame-retardant claim), wind and snow load calculations, whether the glass is tempered or laminated and its thickness, whether design loads match the city basic wind pressure, and whether a temporary building needs permits. For large events, standards such as DIN 4102 B1 are non-negotiable.
2. Site suitability. Ground type (grass, concrete, marble or asphalt) decides the fixing and whether building is possible at all; also confirm site dimensions, slope, buried services and tree pits, and access width for cranes or forklifts. On grass, check wet-season bearing capacity and drainage.
3. How the price is quoted. Per square metre or per set; whether freight, installation, dismantling and foundation work are included; how much more glass costs than PVC; whether flooring, HVAC and lights are extra; the MOQ; and buy-versus-rent for short events.
4. Lead time against the event countdown. Days from deposit to dispatch, transit time, on-site build time and a bad-weather fallback - the real fear is a tent that is not up the day before the event.
5. How a banquet tent actually feels. Glass houses build up greenhouse heat, so cooling load must be doubled and shading or Low-E glass added; rain noise on the roof; ventilation and insects; whether the clear height suits hung chandeliers (4m eave height or more is best for banquets); and floor flatness and whether a wooden floor system is needed.
6. Appearance and branding. Transparent versus blockout roof, glass versus fabric walls, fabric colour, and whether logos can be printed to match the venue.
7. Warranty and long-term cost. Frame warranty period, the cost of replacing covers after 5-8 years, long-term spare-part supply, on-site technician support and storage after dismantling.
8. Supplier backing. ISO 9001 / CE / SGS certification, comparable banquet project references, factory visits and export experience.
