Marquees & Temporary Structures

Your will undoubtedly require power in the marquee. This can either be sourced as a hook –up from a nearby supply (house, garage, etc) or provided independently using a generator.

Hook-ups: If a nearby hook-up is available this is usually the best option unless you intend to have a heavy electrical load. Please remember that kitchen equipment, stage lights, air-con etc all require a significant amount of power and a standard domestic supply may be insufficient.

Generators: We can arrange the hire of a diesel powered “silenced” generator to provide your power. Please remember that, despite their description, these are far from silent! Unfortunately, all generators can be temperamental and therefore we always recommend hiring a second unit as a back-up.

Having decided on your power source we can provide distribution including the appropriate distribution board and the appropriate outdoor rated cabling ending in 16A “commando” sockets for your lighting and 13A sockets.

We can also provide whatever power sockets you require ranging from 63A (if power source available) down to 13A . All our electrical equipment is regularly PAT tested and, if required, we can arrange for an independent inspection and a certificate of electrical safety for the installation.

Ambient lighting is available in a range of options either from stock or sourced especially for your event. Common options include:

Chandeliers of various styles and sizesSpot tracksUp-lightersGlobe lightsFluorescent stripsFestoon & Fairy Lights

In addition we can provide attractive “architectural” lighting for the interior and the exterior of the marquee, stage lighting for your entertainment (or corporate event); search-lights and space-flowers to light up the sky etc.

We can rig very effective lighting for pathways, houses, gardens etc. We can project logo's and other images onto marquees and even write welcome messages using lasers!
