But not everyone has one so sometimes you just have to make do with what you\u2019ve got.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Option 1: Butting the marquee hard up against the house<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Similar to last weeks method you push the marquee hard up against the house but it\u2019s the type and size of doors that gives you a headache:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>sliding patio doors are the easiest, this means you can butt the marquee up at whatever height and put some guttering across to weather the join. The downside is that there is likely to be a step down in to the marquee and people might knock their head on the eave rail or gutter.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>patio doors that open inwards can be treated like sliding doors as above<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>patio doors that open outwards are the most common and are frankly a pain. You have 3 options, 1 is to use a walkway (see next week), next is to create your own walkway (see below) and the third is to somehow lift the marquee up over the doors. If you\u2019re using one of our deluxe marquees then there\u2019s every chance it will be high enough but on a standard commercial one it\u2019s likely to need \u2018chocking up\u2019 a bit using bricks or extensions. This should only really be as a last resort because the marquees aren\u2019t designed to be chocked up and it changes the angle of the roof which can affect the water run-off<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Option 2: Creating your own walkway:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If the house has got a pair of outward opening doors then we would sometimes use them to create a walkway \u2013 have the doors open at 90 degrees to the house and then place a piece of wood over the top, ideally with chocks to hold the doors in place and a slight angle so if it rains the water goes away from the house. This made a very short easy walkway to then butt and weather the marquee to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Pretty much all of these methods are just to get by, the best method (if possible) is last weeks option of having the end of a marquee against the house and if you can\u2019t do that then using a decent walkway (again see next weeks blog) will be a LOT easier and look more professional.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thanks for reading.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Spencer<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The next category is weathering a marquee to a house that has to be positioned side-on and you don\u2019t have the use of a walkway.
