If you take proper care of your marquee, it will reward you with years of trouble-free service. Here is a case in point...

In February of 2006, we replaced the canopy on a marquee which was owned by an 84-year-old lady. She used her marquee twice weekly selling soap products at markets around the NSW Southern Highlands.

Our service manager commented on the good condition of her marquee frame and was surprised to learn that it was 11 years old. Never has the marquee required any replacement or spare parts.

What was even more amazing was that this lady and her husband erect and stow her marquee on their own. When her husband isn't on site to assist. she uses a pole as a temporary centre strut while she deploys the marquee.

Helpful tip: Always store your marquee in the carry bag provided. This avoids staining from built-up dust if the marquee is used infrequently.

Cleaning the Canopy [Click here for signwritten marquee care]
Stains from sap or other agents should be removed as soon as possible.

Cleaning PVC canopies, a little truck wash in a bucket of warm water applied with a mop and hosed down works best.

We also offer an effective ready-to-use proprietary cleaning product for $22.00 including spray bottle and GST.

When cleaning your marquee, erect the marquee frame fully but do not extend the legs. This allows easy access to the canopy from a normal ground level stance.

Cleaning Polyester canopies, use a mild detergent, applied with a soft-haired broom instead.  Use a mild detergent on a sponge to scrub off stubborn stains. Hose off and allow to dry before storing folded.

Servicing the frame
Cleaning: Wipe the frame clean of dust and dirt with a damp cloth. Oil and greasy marks can be removed with a cloth or sponge soaked in warm soapy water. Glues and gums should be carefully removed with a mild solvent and wiped clean. Do NOT use solvents on any plastic parts.
Loose Screws: Regularly check your frame components and tighten any loose screws in the plastic joints and at the scissor bar mid-points. Use a phillips head screwdriver and an allen key.
Bent Bars: Sometimes, a scissor bar can bend or break. If you notice any 'frosting' at a bend in the bar, it is best safe practice to replace it.
Legs: Ensure that no adhesive tape is used on the upper leg and sliding inner leg of the frame. Residual adhesive can cause the leg to bind,  making it difficult to extend the marquee to its full height.
Buttons: If you notice that the restraining buttons are not clicking into place easily, a short spray with Silicon Spray will lubricate the action. If Silicon Spray is not available, rub the button with a piece of bath soap.
DO NOT USE OIL-BASED SPRAYS OR LUBRICANTS.
