Over the past couple of weekends the UK has experienced two storms, Ciara and Dennis. These storms have brought with them high winds which have caused devastation throughout the UK.
During the storms Relocatable had several marquee structures out on hire for events, all of which survived the storms. There are several reasons for this as follows:
Relocatable event marquees and temporary structures are designed and manufactured to withstand the wind, unlike some of the cheap alternative marquee / gazebo’s on offer.
In line with current temporary structure regulations all event structures in the Relocatable event hire range have wind loading 0.50Kn/sqm / wind speed of 100Km/h DIN EN 13782
Temporary semi-permanent structures meet with comprehensive structural generic stability calculations (location post code specific) certificates meeting UK Building Regulations for both wind (BS6399 part 2 1997) and snow (BS6399 part 3 1988) loadings.
The management and maintenance of event marquees and temporary structures in high winds is key and includes the correct installation procedures, correct marquee bracing and suitable anchoring / weighting of the marquee structure.
Relocatable also monitor the weather and provide advice to our clients and take any necessary actions when adverse weather conditions are forecast, minimising any risk.
Relocatable provide an emergency out of hours telephone service, where a trained member of staff can always be reached.
Obviously the weather is a big risk when holding an outdoor event for a wedding, corporate event, corporate hospitality, outdoor exhibition, County show, or a private party at home, celebrating a birthday, engagement, or garden party. There is always a risk that the weather will not do what you want!
However the risk can be managed by selecting a professional marquee hire contractor with quality equipment and service that mitigates the potential loss, damage and even the cancellation of your event that the weather could cause on your wedding day or day of event.
Relocatable appreciate that there are always “cheaper” event marquee hire companies in the industry.
We also appreciate that there are reasons as to why these companies are cheaper, which is normally due to the type of equipment offered, lack of Health & Safety accreditations, untrained staff and poor customer service.
We want our customers to know that our prices will reflect not only the cost of hiring a premium marquee structure and event equipment but also excellent customer service and first class safety.
Consultation and quotes are free of charge, so do get in touch where we can help you plan your event.
