Baytex's premium event and commercial marquees - manufactured in New Zealand and sold worldwide
Baytex is renowned for designing and manufacturing high-quality marquees which are sold to local and international clients. Baytex's diverse range of marquees, is primarily categorised into two styles:
- Pole Marquees: These traditional-style tents feature central poles and guy ropes, providing a classic aesthetic suitable for weddings and formal events.​
- Frame Marquees: Utilising an internal frame structure, these marquees offer unobstructed interior space without center poles, making them ideal for exhibitions and corporate functions.
A notable innovation from Baytex is the use of high quality PVC in the marquees. This modern alternative to traditional canvas offers enhanced durability and a sleek appearance, while still maintaining the charm of classic designs. The translucency of high quality PVC allows natural light to permeate the interior, creating a bright and inviting atmosphere.

Versatility: Baytex marquees are designed to be adaptable for various events, from high end weddings to corporate gatherings.

Warehousing
Baytex’s warehousing marquees are purpose‑built for heavy‑duty, semi‑permanent industrial applications—think container loading bays, storage halls and bespoke workshop shelters. They differ from standard event marquees through their superior clear‑span widths (up to 20 m), high entrance clearance for vehicle and forklift access, and the ability to attach directly to existing buildings or stacked containers.
An arched purlin system on the Alispan Warehouse model ensures a taut fabric fit and dampens rain noise, while retractable curtain‑walling—complete with wide‑opening tracks—allows easy truck ingress/egress without compromising weather protection.
All Baytex warehousing frames are CAD‑designed and manufactured onsite in Tauranga, New Zealand, using anodised alloy rails and electro‑galvanised steel connectors for long‑term corrosion resistance in harsh environments. The high‑tech PVC fabric has a lacquered, dirt‑resistant finish, is fire‑retardant, mildew‑resistant and waterproof, and comes in translucent or blockout options for light control.
Key features include:
- Extreme Clear‑span: Freestanding widths from 10 m–20 m for the largest structures in NZ
- Arched Purlin System: Taut roof fit with reduced wind noise on Alispan Warehouse
- Retractable Walls & High Clearance: Wide‑width curtain walls and optional hard doors for seamless vehicle access
- Bolt‑free Assembly: No loose pins or bolts; quick clip‑together installation saves time on site
- Industrial‑grade Fabric: Lacquer‑coated PVC, choice of Ferrari Translucent or Blockout, high‑frequency welded for strength
- Engineering Certification: CAD precision, NZ engineering reports, PS1 certificates available for building‑tie‑in installations. Key engineering specs—such as roof pitches of 18° or 26°, wind ratings to 100 kph, and PS1‑certified designs—underscore their suitability where a temporary tent simply won’t do.
