What is the difference between a frame marquee and a pole marquee?

A frame marquee has an aluminium structure with no internal poles, so it can go on any surface and gives a clear open floor. A traditional pole marquee uses tall internal poles and guy ropes, has a classic peaked look and needs a grassed area with extra room around it for the ropes.
