Event Tent & Festival Marquee Hire – FAQs

Planning a festival, concert, expo or outdoor event? Here are answers to common questions we are asked about event tent hire and festival marquee hire across Australia.

What areas do you service?

Somersault Productions provides tent and marquee hire Australia-wide, servicing metropolitan, regional and remote locations for festivals, touring productions and major outdoor events.

Are your tents suitable for Australian weather conditions?

Yes. Our event tents and marquees are designed to suit Australian conditions, including wind, rain, heat and sun exposure. Site conditions, location and seasonality are always assessed when specifying the appropriate temporary structures.

How does Somersault Productions transport tents Australia-wide?

We transport tents and marquees using our own semi-trailers, allowing us to manage efficient event logistics and maintain reliable delivery schedules across Australia.

Do you supply installation crews?

Yes. Experienced crews complete all tent and marquee installation with a strong focus on safety, compliance and smooth delivery.

How long does it take to put up an event tent or marquee?

Most event tents and marquees are installed within one to three days, depending on the size and complexity of the structure. Installation time can also be influenced by site conditions, access and weather, with all builds scheduled to ensure safety and efficiency.

What sort of tent pegs do you use for different surfaces?

We use heavy-duty, engineered tent pegs selected to suit the site surface, including grass, sand, compacted ground and hard-stand areas. Where pegging isn’t permitted, we supply engineered ballast to meet site requirements.
