Stretch fabric marquee

aluminium framed constructions with
high quality galvanised steel connectors,
and are suitable for companies looking to
hire out to their customers or for tempo-
rary and permanent applications.
A variety of configurations are available:
various A-frames, peaked or curved profiles
available; widths from three to 50 metres
(custom widths can be designed); indefinite
lengths in any modular bays of three or five
metres, as well as varying eave and peak
