But up a marquee to the back of your house.

The marquee is butted right up to your house and leaned towards your property where if there are no obstructions, our marquee is touching your house.  If you looked directly up between the “join” (there is no physical join!) of the marquee and your property you may see a small gap, however most house roof’s protrude further out than the house wall, so the roof will catch any rain that may have landed in between the tiny gap between the marquee & house.

If you have a soffit/gutter just above your doors that protrudes out (quite common on new single storey extensions) the marquee will be butted right up to the soffit that sticks out. 

What we do to make this gap as airtight as we possibly can is infill the gaps with a rolled piece of carpet either side of the doors – so in winter it reduces any draughts that come through.

He gave me so much confidence they could provide exactly what I wanted...

Adam was brilliant from the start and he was so easy to collaborate with in terms of helping me complete my requirements for my sons’s 18th party.

We wanted a marquee up against our bi fold doors to ideally keep the teenagers out of the house, but giving them a place to celebrate without us parents too close!  

Adam understood my brief very well and told me this is something they do quite often for winter time events.  He gave me so much confidence they could provide exactly what I wanted.

He was friendly and very responsive. The delivery and installation of marquee and all the accessories went very smoothly and the fitters, Glen and Ben did a great job and showed me how to operate everything.

On Monday morning 2 other fitters came to dismantle the marquee and take it away – great service and professionalism from them too. Chris and Mark!

Same fantastic service! I would definitely use them again and highly recommend this company if you want peace of mind and a great customer experience! Thank you Adam and Team!

Can I have a Marquee right up to the back of my House?

Can You Attach a Marquee to your House?

Walk from your house into your marquee as if it was another room...

A marquee installed over your doors instantly gives you that much needed space for your event. The marquee can be installed over bi fold doors, french doors, sliding doors…any doors!

Give your event the extra capacity it needs and take the pressure off the house.  It’s a great solution for house parties where you’d like access into the house but you’re keen to keep most of the guests in the marquee – to protect your house from any accidental damage.

No physical drilling is required to but up a marquee to your house. It leans against the house ensuring it doesn’t damage your property in any way.

There is no physical join between the marquee and the house – we install the marquee as close as we possibly can (which can be within 20mm as long as there are no physical obstructions from the house)

See more here from our blog post about butting up a marquee to your house.

They can be installed over most doors including french doors, sliding doors and bi fold doors.

How Does Butting up a Marquee to your House work?

The eave height of a marquee will allow you to but up a marquee to your house quite easily.  The roof rafters of a commercial grade marquee are as tall as 2m high which is tall enough to span over even the tallest of bi fold doors.  You can then step from your house seamlessly into the marquee as if it was another room giving you that much needed space for your party.

What a super company. They stepped in to help us out when our initial company was not able to provide us with a marquee just 3 weeks before our 50th wedding anniversary party on 3 January 2026. Adam was a great help and we were not disappointed. Josh arrived on time to erect and take down the marquee. What a lovely man he was. So pleasant and polite and he worked his socks off in freezing cold weather. We can recommend this company without reservation for a fantastic service. Everyone enjoyed our party. The marquee was warm and inviting despite the cold weather.

Had the best party ever celebrating our daughter’s 18th Birthday at the weekend. Given her birthday is early January, the best option to provide more space to host, was to go for a marquee. It was the perfect solution and did not disappoint. It was plenty warm enough and the guys erecting and de-rigging the marquee couldn’t have been more accommodating and friendly. It was slick process from start to finish. I am sure we will be doing a similar thing when our boys turn 18 in a year or two! Thanks to Adam, Ryan and Luke!

I found Party in Your Garden online after contacting a few companies, as I was looking for a stress-free way to organise my son’s 18th birthday and have everything provided in one place. I can highly recommend this company. The team were extremely helpful throughout the quotation process, and the website was very easy to use. The setup team were fantastic, answering lots of questions and reassuring me. We hosted around 60 people for my son’s 18th birthday in December, and it was a huge success. The heating, lighting, and music kept everyone comfortable and enjoying themselves in the marquee all night. I would definitely recommend Party in Your Garden for any type of garden party — they made the whole process easy and completely took the stress out of organising the event.

Ordered a small marquee in January for my wife's 60th birthday this weekend. The guys at Party in your Garden have been great. The marquee is now up, but the thing I have liked the most is their attention to detail and the fact that they have kept in touch with me at all times. They pick the phone up (!), answer texts, create an online space for my quote, and are polite and courteous with it. This is rare I can assure you. There are few companies where I have had a faultless experience. This is one of them......I can count only 4 in my life. Highly recommended.

My experience with Garden Marquee hire started off with moderate disappointment as I was in a hurry to book and given their advertising I had expected to be able to get a full quote immediately rather than half a day later. Thereafter though, the service was excellent, taking account of my needs carefully in booking the marquee, changing hours of delivery, erection and, (after my party), removal of the marquee to suit me, without any extra charge. The marquee itself was very nice and the heating, uplighting and most furnishings were good,. The tables were rather old and battered - needing table cloths to look elegant, but they did the job.. Also the delivery team were really easy to work with and around, and were very efficient. All in all I found this firm offered a good and friendly service.

Very friendly, helpful and efficient team. The marquee was great and our daughter and her friends had a fabulous time. Thank you!

We contacted Abacus to put up a marquee in our garden for our daughter's wedding. It was very quick to agree and finalise the contract with instant responses. The setup was done ahead of agreed date and very quickly and efficiently. The marquee was setup very beautifully and it became a place for everyone to hang about after the wedding. I can whole heartedly recommend the service of every one Abacus.

The team were helpful in discussing our needs with us..we have a strange shaped garden and weren’t sure what we needed, in terms of shape and size. A team member came over and advised us, with the proviso that we could cancel an additional smaller marquee if we felt we didn’t need one on the day. The team arrived as agreed and two of them put the marquee up in a couple of hours. It looked terrific..the flooring was great, the interior lining and the lights made the whole thing look really pretty and the heating was effective. Although there was no wind or rain on the day, the whole thing felt solid and secure. The team were really helpful in accommodating our timings for taking the marquee down, as we were going away on the same day, and were done very quickly. I’m so glad I found Party in Your Garden and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them and use them again

Great service and friendly staff. It was beautiful marquee and I got many compliments for the arrangements. Professional service and good value for money

Great communication, delivered on time and super friendly staff. The marquee was exactly as described. Delivered on Thursday for event on the Saturday. Collected on Monday (bank holiday) very promptly and again really friendly staff. Highly recommend and would definitely use again. Point to note - I didn’t think the fairy lights would be bright enough to light the marquee on a dark night so I had bought additional lighting - but they were really very effective and additional lighting (whilst a bonus) weren’t necessary.

Excellent service from start to finish. Good quality marquees. We decided last minute we wanted a smaller marquee in the garden for a kids party - from enquiry I immediately had a whatsapp exchange going…sent photos of my garden and had live questions answered on styles. Booked in 24 hrs and then marquee arrived 4 days later. Very considerate of our fake grass also so had water weights. First time using but won’t be the last.

I hired a marquee for a party in my garden. Most of the dealings were via WhatsApp messages and a couple of calls to the team. Adding and removing items like festoon lights and tables was very simple. On the day of the party, the setup team arrived and set up the marquee, explaining all the necessary details. The collection team arrived on the day requested and took down the marquee and other items very quickly and efficiently. All very pleasant and professional. I’m glad I hired the marquee; it was a great addition to my party.

Excellent service and a great experience. I found dealing with the team really easy and straightforward. They were very patient in going through all the various options and their communication throughout was very good. They were helpful, flexible, polite, professional and efficient as well as offering a very competitive price - what more could you want? I'll use them again and would definitely recommend.
