Bush Marquee Tents — Open-Sided Outdoor Structures for Safari Events & Natural Settings

The bush marquee tent is the structure of choice when the event setting itself — a game reserve, a forest clearing, a riverbank, a private bush property — is as much a part of the experience as the event taking place within the structure. The bush marquee’s characteristic open-sided design, often in canvas or natural-tone PVC, allows the surrounding landscape to remain fully visible from within the covered space. Guests seated at a dinner under a well-sited bush marquee have full sightlines to the surrounding environment: the defining characteristic of the bush event aesthetic that no closed-sided marquee or indoor venue can replicate.

We manufacture bush marquee tents for safari lodge operators, outdoor wedding venues, eco-event companies, and private landowners who host events on their properties. Standard configurations include open-sided canvas-valance structures with peaked or flat roof profiles, canvas drop sides that can be raised or lowered depending on weather conditions, and full structural options from simple canopy poles to complete aluminium frame systems.

Configurations

  • Open-sided canvas valance structure: peaked or flat roof, perimeter canvas valance, no sidewalls — maximum openness to the surroundings
  • Drop-side bush marquee: canvas sides that roll up and tie open or drop down for weather protection
  • Frame bush marquee: aluminium frame with open or partial side configurations — more weather resistant while maintaining the bush aesthetic

Frequently Asked Questions

Can bush marquee tents handle wind and rain in outdoor bush locations?
Open-sided bush marquees are inherently less weather-resistant than fully enclosed structures. For sites with unpredictable weather, we recommend specifying drop-side canvas panels that can be lowered quickly when conditions change, and ensuring the roof profile sheds rain efficiently. Site selection matters: natural windbreaks and positioning relative to prevailing wind direction significantly affect how a bush marquee performs in adverse conditions.

What size bush marquee is suitable for a 50-person bush dinner?
A 6x12m or 8x12m bush marquee comfortably accommodates 50 seated dinner guests with a service aisle and catering staging area. We recommend allowing a buffer of at least 20% additional floor area over the theoretical minimum for comfort and service circulation.
