Marquis tents
 
Does anyone have the specs of, or a source for the poles and pulleys for a big-arsed marquis tent?

Charlie:

Don't you mean a marquee tent?

My good buddy, the Marquis of Lorne, would be quite pissed at being described as a purveyor of tentage.

I don't recall any pulleys being appplicable to a marquee tent. The 3 inner poles and the ridge pole were quite a substantial size, perhaps 10 " in diameter. The outer poles, supporting the side curtains, were about 3" in diameter, topped by a metal prong which was inserted into the grommets of the side wall of the roof arrangement.

All of the above was secured by many tent pegs and many guy ropes.
