Structure & materials
What you need to know about your chapiteau bambou
The bamboo marquee replaces the classic metal poles and crossbeams with natural bamboo tubes, raw or treated. This eco-designed structure offers a warm, organic and contemporary look that appeals to couples and brands engaged in a responsible approach. The dimensions and capacities are comparable to a standard marquee, with a radically different aesthetic.
Materials & construction
- Natural bamboo poles and crossbeams (Phyllostachys or Moso), 8 to 10 cm in diameter
- Bamboo heat-treated or naturally oiled for durability
- PVC canvas or natural canvas depending on the model
- Joints: stainless-steel fixings or natural lashings depending on the desired finish
- Options: wooden flooring, lighting integrated into the crossbeams, dried flowers
- Standard sizes: 10 sizes from 10 × 10 m to 15 × 35 m (100 to 525 m²) — 10, 15 m spans, 83 to 437 guests at a seated meal
For which event?
Natural & eco-friendly wedding
For couples who want their reception venue to align with their environmental values, the bamboo marquee shows a visible commitment. Bamboo is the fastest-growing plant in the world: 100% renewable and bio-based.
CSR brand event
Companies that communicate on their CSR policy use the bamboo marquee for their seminars, annual parties and client events: the structure is the first image guests take away on arrival.
Food festival
Food, natural-wine and local-produce festivals find in the bamboo marquee an aesthetic and philosophical fit with their positioning. The bamboo creates interior spaces that evoke a winemaker's cellar or a renovated farm.
Outdoor reception
Outdoors, bamboo ages gracefully and blends into a garden, an orchard or a forest with no visual break. The structure is naturally photogenic in morning or evening light.
What to plan for
- Setup time: longer than the standard marquee (5 h to 1 day depending on size) owing to the specific joints.
- Strength: bamboo has a strength-to-weight ratio comparable to steel, but is more sensitive to prolonged moisture. A water-repellent treatment is required.
- Transport: the bamboo tubes (3 to 6 m) are vulnerable to knocks — dedicated transport with careful securing.
- Availability: less widespread than the standard marquee — to be confirmed by region and dates.
- Budget: generally 20 to 40% more expensive than an equivalent aluminium marquee owing to the treatment and the specific assembly.

We operate across the whole country, with teams that can be mobilised quickly to coordinate the setup, the access and the technical equipment.

Our chapiteau bambou formats
Our fleet includes bamboo marquees in several sizes, with wall options in bamboo or canvas, light-wood floors and interior dressing compatible with bohemian or nature-inspired decor.
The technical equipment remains the same as a classic marquee: flooring, lighting, heating and a bar. The visual result radically changes the perception of the space.
We select the modules in keeping with the size of the reception and the decorator's expectations for a smooth result between structure and decor.
Prices and budget for chapiteau bambou hire
The price of the bamboo marquee is slightly higher than a standard marquee because of the specific materials. The difference remains reasonable for a very different visual result.
We price the options separately to let you make trade-offs between the level of bamboo finish and the technical equipment according to the available budget.
For a tent hire service chapiteau bambou in France, you receive a full estimate within 24 h including delivery, setup, takedown and logistics coordination.
Setup, installation and logistics for chapiteau bambou
Our teams handle the installation and delivery across the whole country, with a precise schedule agreed in advance with your reception venue.
Setting up the bamboo marquee follows the same steps as a classic marquee, with particular attention to the finishing and to assembling the natural decor elements.
The setup time is slightly longer than a standard marquee: allow an extra half-day for the bamboo finishing and for checking visual consistency before delivery.

Everything to know before hiring your bamboo marquee
8 practical answers to prepare your bamboo marquee hire: capacities, prices, materials, logistics.
Bamboo has a strength-to-weight ratio comparable to steel. Bamboo event structures are designed to the same safety standards (EN 13782). The technical file and the BVCTS register are available on request.
Yes, with the right protection. The bamboo is treated against moisture and UV. In winter, the joints must be checked after each frost. Availability to be confirmed depending on dates and region.
The bamboo can be varnished, oiled or lightly tinted. Opaque paints are not advised because they hide the natural look that is the structure's main asset.
The bamboo marquee is generally 20 to 40% more expensive than an equivalent standard marquee. The premium reflects the treatment of the bamboo, the longer assembly and the rarity of the offer on the French market. As a guide, the ranges seen in 2026 for a turnkey service run from €6,000 to €12,000 excl. VAT for a medium size (100-150 guests) to €15,000-25,000 excl. VAT for the large sizes (250-400 guests), delivery and setup included. Bespoke response within 24 h.
Ideally, allow 3 to 6 weeks to prepare your event with peace of mind and keep your choice of options and equipment. In high season (May to September) or for a wedding, book 6 to 12 months ahead. For urgent requests, our teams can step in within 48 to 72 h depending on availability and the complexity of the project.
