How to erect a marquee on hard standing?

The easiest way to erect a marquee is on grass using a tie down kit to hold it in place but sometimes a marquee has to go up on hard surfaces. With our DIY Marquees heavy duty marquees for sale (and indeed most quality marquees) this isn’t a problem as long as you fit groundbars. Groundbars don’t hold the marquee down but they do make it more rigid – imagine the marquee as a box, securing the bottom line makes it a much stronger and more rigid box.

When erecting a marquee on hard standing:

Look around the site, if the marquee is to be erected on a patio often there are flower beds or other soft surfaces to gain anchoring points from and just use longer tie downs.

Assuming there is no existing anchoring point the remaining options are heavy weights or drilling in to the ground.

Drilling is usually only an option on car parks or old tennis courts (be sure to fill the holes afterwards with an appropriate filler).

Concrete blocks or sand bags can be used as weights but my preference is water butts. These are light to carry round but you only fill them up once they are strapped to the marquee (this does rely on having a hosepipe on site).

When using weights strap them directly to the marquee, having them a distance away just gives the weight room to drag slightly and then it’s lost most of its use.

Thank you to everyone who visited us at The Showmans Show last week. For those that didn’t make it we displayed one of our new pop-up marquee for sale including linings, we also had a new pagoda style marquee that will be a standard stock item next year. We’re confident both will prove popular and really add something to the marquee hire industry.

The Show itself was again very quiet, personally I think a change to Fri/Sat would really help increase visitors. I know ourselves and many other suppliers will be monitoring the leads generated carefully as it’s becoming increasingly difficult to justify the large expenses incurred. 

As an erector of smaller marquees it is always a joy to see what can be achieved in larger structures, some of the two story marquees are very very impressive. Saying that I wouldn’t like to put them up!

Thanks for reading.

Lodge Brothers funeral directors Ashford are just one of the many branches involved in the community, have a look at what some of the various Lodge Brothers branches have been up top recently.

Paul Bye, District Manager for Lodge Brothers & Wickenden in Ealing, was thrilled to receive a letter of thanks from Northfields Pre-School, following on from their 50th Birthday Fundraising Day back in the summer. Fund raiser Rebecca Neville wrote:

“Dear Paul and everyone at Lodge Brothers,

Apologies this is a little late but I just wanted to say a massive “thank you” on behalf of the children, parents and staff at Northfields Pre School for your generous donation of £100 towards our 50th Birthday fundraising back in July.

We had a fantastic party on a beautiful sunny day and through a raffle and donations such as yours we raised enough money to buy the children 50 much needed new chairs. The Pre School are so appreciative and the children have safe, brightly coloured, comfortable chairs for many years to come. We have just handed over to a new committee but I just wanted to personally thank you again.

Do you have the devastating and difficult decision of how to remember a loved one, how best to keep their memory alive and how others would like to remember that special person?

Lodge Brothers have the most wonderful and largest selection of memorials and headstones in the UK.  Their workmanship is professional and superbly finished.

From the time you enter the Lodge Brothers branch until the memorial is in place you will be treated with the utmost respect and dignity.

They take time and care to ensure that the correct decisions are made with regard to each individual and the memorial chosen.

Every memorial is individually made and can be personalised through slight changes in design. Some of the memorials on offer:

Lawn Memorials & Headstones

A variety of lawn memorials are displayed this page. When choosing a memorial, please remember that you can alter the design to suit your own requirements. They are all individually made and most designs can be made in any stone type.

Classic Memorials & Headstones

Full memorials or kerb set designs are permitted. This does not prevent a client having a smaller memorial such as a vase, tablet or headstone & base design. It allows a lot more flexibility than a lawn section and leads to a greater expression of memorial design.
