WHICH frame SHOULD YOU CHOOSE?
The 40 Series Pro Steel range is our recommendation, as these frames are very sturdy and cost-effective. If you need to use the tent on a regular basis, in harsh conditions, the 50 Series Heavy Duty is the best pick.

WHICH FABRIC FOR YOUR PRINTED CANOPY TOP?
We always recommend the 600D PVC Coated Polyester fabric, however if you are located in NT, WA, or North QLD and you want to use the tent multiple times per week, all year long, go with the 580GSM 100% PVC fabric.

At BigTop Shades we are able to supply an extensive range of promotional products for your indoor and outdoor events. We have proudly supplied marquees, signage and other promotional products to political parties, city councils, government departments and agencies all across Australia.
Give us a call on 02 9428 3377 or send us an email at info@bigtopshades.com.au and we will build a quote tailored to your exact requirements.
For government agencies, city councils, and public sector organisations, all frame options can be suitable depending on operational needs, usage frequency, and deployment conditions.
The most appropriate choice will depend on how often the tent is used and the type of environments it will be set up in.
The S10 Pro Steel range remains a strong and cost-effective option, offering durability and stability for general public events and community activations. The A2 Lightweight Aluminium frame is ideal when ease of transport and fast deployment are important, making it well suited for mobile teams and multi-location use.
For organisations requiring a long-term solution or frequent deployment, the A4 Heavy Duty Aluminium range is the best overall choice. It is designed for regular use and more demanding conditions, making it ideal for ongoing public programs, outdoor services, or repeated event setups where reliability is essential.
We can also support your design process by working with your graphic team, providing templates, technical guidance, and best-practice recommendations.
If required, we can also assist with straightforward artwork setup using supplied logos and branding assets. We are experienced in working within strict brand guidelines and can accurately match official colours and identity standards.
For fabric selection, we generally recommend the 600D PVC Coated Polyester as the most balanced and professional option, offering durability, UV protection, and a clean presentation suitable for public sector use. The lighter 420D fabric is typically not recommended for professional or institutional applications, while the 580GSM 100% PVC fabric is usually only necessary for very frequent, year-round deployment in harsh weather conditions. In such cases, we recommend discussing requirements with us to ensure the most appropriate specification is selected.
