harrygrey382 1 Posted July 29, 2011 Report Share Posted July 29, 2011 (edited) I'm selling our enormous ex army type general service marquee. This is the classic british army design that was first used in the 1920s and continued until the 1980s. It is not hard to see why as it has great coverage and is very sturdy. It can be erected in 9' increments - so if you only wanted it to be 20x27' that is fine. These sections are all dutch laced together to the hips We bought this for our wedding which is on thursday. So by the time the auction ends we will no longer need it. The four middle sections were brand new when we put it up last week, and the two hips (ends) had been put up once before. So the canvas is in as new condition with no mold, mildew or rips. Most of the poles are genuine army surplus, with a few of the small outer ones being new hardwood. All walls are included but we haven't put them up as they aren't needed. They are also in new condition. To buy this marquee new from somewhere like here - http://www.surplusandadventure.com/shop/camping-outdoor/tents/party-tents-marquees-military-tents/marquees/british-army-general-service-465253.html?utm_source=google&utm_medium=base&utm_campaign=S&A would cost £3210 It is a fanstasic looking marquee and at 20'x56' is big enough for a large party - we are seating over guests in it with room to spare. We will put up more pictures as we fill it up. We start taking it down on saturday, and viewing is welcome until then. Contact me for a postcode. The winning bidder is welcome to come and help taking it down to see how it works. Pick up is essential, and it takes a lot of room so a pick up, large van or trailer is essential. Although if you are fairly locale I may be able to help. It must be picked up by the end of saturday. I'm after £1750 ono. Location is West Sussex - GU31 Edited July 29, 2011 by harrygrey382 Link to post Share on other sites
