Why we use a predominantly Anodised Aluminium structure:

Steel

Pros: Rigidity, cost, strength
Cons: Weight, aesthetics, naturally prone to corrosion
Used in: Budget marquees (for the poles)

Steel is comparatively more rigid than aluminium, but this strength comes with a weight penalty, meaning the poles will be more challenging to handle and move.

Steel needs to be galvanised for outdoor use, but can still leave black marks on material that rubs up against it. It is a cost effective choice for the poles of mass market, budget end marquees.

Anodised Aluminium Alloy

Pros: Durability, lightweight, corrosion resistance, aesthetics
Cons: Cost
Used in: Premium marquees (for the poles)

Aluminium is a lighter metal than steel and in order to strengthen aluminium it is combined with a second metal to create an alloy. Aluminium can then be anodised to resist corrosion better than steel, requiring less maintenance. The aesthetic look of anodised aluminium is also another reason it is popular for premium marquees. You will only find anodised large aluminium poles / boxing in premium marquees.

Due to its aesthetic, weight and durability, aluminium comes with a more expensive price tag.

At Crown Canopies we do not use steel poles for the above reasons. Instead we use a hard anodised aluminium alloy for the poles and occasionally use corrosive resistant, zinc plated / galvanised steel parts where we require the strength of steel without adding unnecessary bulk.

This creates an ideal combination of a strong, yet lightweight strucutre which is built to last.
