Flexible Thinking
Tired of marquee companies trying to sell you a bigger profile to give you a bigger span? Bigger isn’t always better as Alpha marquees found when they spoke to Barkers Marquees.
Barkers Marquees offer a FlexiFrame system for either their Aliframe or Continental Clearspan Frame Tent ranges. They can also convert your existing equipment into a Flexiframe system.
The Flexiframe system uses a system of different length beams and extension joints to maximise the spans you can achieve with minimum framework. For example, a Starter Package gives 12m, 9m, 6m and 3m spans using two different roof beam elements.
The roof beams are interchangeable with the uprights. By using a 1.5m or 3m roof beam, with extension legs, Clearspan Frame Tents can be erected on ground with challenging level changes.
Armit from Alpha Marquees was pleased with his customised service, which altered his Abbey Structure Frame Tent to accommodate a new span of 25ft. Having an engineering background himself, Armit describes this system as being better engineering. Armit comments: “As long as the beams can carry the load applied to them, this system gives me all the flexibility and diversity I need to run my Marquee Hire company. I recommend this system all the time!”
Robert from ARM Marquees was surprised when Barkers recommended he didn’t need anymore framework to extend his 3m walkway equipment. Robert comments: “Barkers Marquees had cut down 40 of my 9m Tectonic roof beams into 6m and 3m beams and supplied extension joints over two years ago. When I rang to order more framework, they reminded me that I could use the 3m roof beams for my walkway! I only needed new 3m roof sheets, at a fraction of the price of additional framework!”
