Whether you're hosting a market stall, promoting your brand at a festival, or setting up a shaded spot for a sports team, choosing the right size custom marquee is key to making your event a success. Too small, and you'll struggle with space. Too large, and you may end up with unnecessary costs and tricky setup.

At Redmond Outdoor, we offer a wide range of marquee sizes designed for every occasion. Here's a simple guide to help you pick the perfect fit.

1. 2.5m x 2.5m Custom Marquee — Compact & Convenient

Ideal for:

  • Weekend markets or craft stalls

  • Small business pop-ups

  • Limited site spaces

If you're short on space or just starting out, a 2.5m x 2.5m marquee is easy to transport, quick to set up, and perfectly sized for one or two people behind a table. Despite its compact footprint, it still gives you plenty of branding real estate on the canopy and walls.

2. 3m x 3m Custom Marquee — The Market Favourite

Ideal for:

  • Farmers' markets & trade shows

  • Food vendors

  • Community stalls

This is by far the most popular size — big enough to comfortably fit multiple tables or displays while still being easy to manage. If you're unsure which size to choose, a 3m x 3m marquee is often the safest bet.

Pro tip: Pair it with printed walls to make your stall stand out from every angle.

3. 3m x 4.5m Custom Marquee — The Versatile Middle Ground

Ideal for:

  • Sports clubs & fundraising events

  • Larger product displays

  • Group promotions

The 3m x 4.5m marquee gives you extra width without being overwhelming. It's great for businesses or groups that want more room to move, display products, or serve customers. Its elongated shape also works well for fitting into different site layouts.

4. 3m x 6m Custom Marquee — Maximum Impact

Ideal for:

  • Major festivals & expos

  • Team shelters at sporting events

  • Corporate activations

If you want to make a bold statement, the 3m x 6m marquee is the ultimate choice. It offers ample space for staff, customers, and displays while giving your brand maximum visibility. It's also a favourite for schools, sports teams, and organisations looking to create a central hub at events.

Choosing the Right Size: Quick Checklist

When deciding on your marquee size, ask yourself:

  • How much space is available at the event? (Check stallholder requirements.)

  • How many staff or volunteers will be inside the marquee?

  • Do you need room for storage, tables, or product displays?

  • How important is visibility? (Larger marquees = more brand presence.)

Final Thoughts

The size of your custom marquee can make or break your event setup. From compact 2.5m x 2.5m stalls to expansive 3m x 6m activations, there's a perfect fit for every occasion.

At Redmond Outdoor, we offer durable, fully customisable marquees in all these sizes — complete with printing options that turn your shelter into a powerful branding tool.
