Twice the weight, double the stability

For larger marquees, gazebos, cabins, and temporary fencing, you need extra ballast to keep everything safe and stable. 1,000kg concrete marquee weights deliver exactly that.

At twice the weight of the 500kg block, they’re perfect for bigger structures, higher wind loads, and projects where extra holding power is essential. Each block features two M20 lifting loops in the top and a pallet-truck recess in the base, so they’re easy to offload, move, and strap into position.

Product Features & Specifications of Marquee Weights

Our 1,000kg concrete marquee weights are designed for stability, durability, and ease of use. Here’s what makes them a reliable choice for larger structures.

Concrete strength: C40 mix

Cast in high-strength concrete, these blocks are built for repeated handling and long service life. 

Connection: flat edges (non-interlocking)

Flat faces allow flexible placement without the limitations of interlocking profiles. 

Edge detail: chamfered edges

Chamfered corners minimise visible chipping and damage during repeated use and handling. 

 

Concrete finish: moulded on all visible faces

Provides a professional appearance for events or public-facing sites, with smooth moulded surfaces. 

Design life:  50 years+

Durable concrete construction ensures a long service life in all weather conditions. 

 

Reinforcement cover: N/A

Unreinforced, so there’s no steel to corrode consistent performance year after year.

Applications for 1,000kg marquee weights

1,000kg marquee weights are ideal where extra ballast is needed to withstand stronger wind loads and support larger structures.

They’re widely used in event management to secure large marquees, gazebos, and staging; in site setup and security for fencing lines, cabins, and hoarding; and as scaffolding ballast when heavy-duty counterweights are required.

Compact, durable, and easy to deploy, they are a reliable choice when safety and stability are priorities.
