Not sure what you need?
Tell us how often it goes up, what ground it stands on and how it travels. We’ll tell you which spec will still be working in ten years - and where spending more genuinely isn’t worth it.
Made in Cornwall
Design, print, cut, sew and dispatch all happen in Cornwall. Very few people in this trade can say that and it changes what we’re able to promise you.
200°C heat press, exact Pantone matching, and colour drawn into the fibre rather than sitting on top of it.
Sew
Everything is sewn in house made by our own machinists. It means we can remake a single wall without ordering a container.
Support
Bolts, brackets, levers, legs, footplates & more all stocked, usually with you overnight. A twelve-year-old frame should be worth mending.
Built to last
True sustainability isn't just about eco-friendly packaging, it's about building commercial kit that stays out of landfill. We manufacture our heavy-duty Ultra HD pop-up gazebos to last season after season, stocking every individual spare part in Cornwall so you can repair your frame instead of replacing it.
Since 2005
Metal brackets abrade canopy fabric, especially folded in a van. Every upper joint wears a neoprene jacket - proven to add up to four years to the life of a canopy.
The canopy wears out first, so protecting it matters most.
Repair, don’t replace
Bolts, brackets, levers, end caps, footplates - all stocked and usually with you overnight. A twelve-year-old frame should be worth mending, and that only holds true if the parts exist.
Four frames that never had to be made.
When branding changes
New sponsor, new logo, or flag looking tired? Order the fabric alone and reuse the mast and base you already own.
Cheaper for you, and a good deal less waste.
In their words
Most of our work comes back to us - repeat orders, replacement canopies on frames we sold 20 years ago, and the same names booking again each season.

IM were an absolute pleasure to deal with. I needed a high quality custom gazebo manufacturing in a short period of time……from the design team to the sales department their knowledge and flexibility around my requirements was incredible start to finish. Being based in Cornwall I required a heavy duty product and my Ultra HD gazebo has survived upto 70mph winds and heavy rain with ease. Overall I’d highly recommend them to anyone looking to get a gazebo.

We met Instant Marquees at a networking event and couldn't be happier with their service. They supplied our pub with parasols, barrier signs, and a 6x3m pop-up marquee that easily weathered some brutal stormy nights. Top-notch, helpful customer service. 10/10

We spent a few months looking around for a supplier, getting prices and looking at the products in detail. We found the quality at Instant Marquees second to none.
Next step
Sizes, print, ground conditions, how many and when. We’ll come back with a price and a free visual and if something simpler would do the job, we’ll tell you that too.
