About

One beautiful tent, handled end-to-end.

Stretch tent set up on a garden lawn at golden hour

Our 6m × 9m stretch tent marquee gives you 54sqm of sheltered, sculptural space — the kind of canopy that makes a backyard, paddock or beach feel intentional.

We bring it, set it up, and take it back down. You get to focus on the people who showed up. We focus on a tight, safe, photogenic install every time.

What the base price covers

  • 6×9m stretch tent marquee for a standard 2-day weekend hire (Fri–Sun)
  • All poles, ropes, anchoring hardware and tensioning equipment
  • Public liability insurance on the setup
  • Site assessment and layout advice before the event

What changes install & pack-down costs

  • Surface type: Grass and dirt are straightforward. Concrete, decking or sand need weights or extra anchoring.
  • Site access: Narrow driveways, stairs, or obstacles add time and labour.
  • Distance from Newcastle: Beyond 60km we charge travel per kilometre to cover fuel and crew time.
  • Day-before setup: Adds a second trip but guarantees the tent is ready before your guests arrive.

Estimates are indicative only. Your final quote is confirmed after a site visit or photo review.
