Innovative Inflatable Marquees NZ – Lightweight, Compact & Customisable Event Shelters
Since 2008, Hercules has been supplying New Zealand businesses with durable pop up gazebos and event displays. Over the years, we’ve listened closely to our customers and continued to expand our range — from large marquees and accessories to branded event display signage.
Many of our long-term customers, including agricultural trade show exhibitors, value the strength and reliability of our Hercules pop up gazebos. But we also understand the challenges some face—especially when travelling between the North and South Islands, where transporting an oversized, heavy-framed gazebo can be difficult and expensive. Others told us they needed an even simpler, more portable shelter that staff could set up quickly and confidently without tools or training.
To answer these needs, we searched for the best alternative solutions on the market and introduced the Inflatable Marquee into our product range. This innovative shelter is lightweight, compact, and highly portable—making it an excellent option for events where easy transport and quick setup are essential.
Why Choose an Inflatable Marquee?
Backpack-Size Portability
Unlike a traditional gazebo, which folds down to over a metre and a half in length, our inflatable marquees pack into a backpack-sized bag. This makes them easy to fit in small car boots and convenient to store between events.
Lightweight & Easy to Carry
Carrying a frame across a large car park or trade show site is tiring. Inflatable marquees are lighter and more manageable, so you can comfortably carry them from your vehicle to the exhibition space — even if it’s a long walk.
Quick Setup in Minutes
No complicated frames, no heavy lifting. All you need is an air pump, and your inflatable marquee is ready in just minutes. This makes it an excellent choice for staff teams of all sizes and abilities.
Strength & Stability Without the Frame
Just because inflatable marquees are light doesn’t mean they’re weak. Hercules inflatable shelters are designed for commercial and heavy-duty use.
Each structure is powered by a reinforced internal air tube encased in advanced webbed fabric. This allows high internal pressure, resulting in excellent rigidity and stability, even in challenging weather conditions.
