This is a tricky one..<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As a marquee erector our dream is to put marquees up on bowling greens that you can park your vehicle next to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You then come across a customer who\u2019s dream is for you to convert their three-tiered sloped and bumpy garden in to a surface fit for a banquet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So what do you do?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
First off for those who are thinking about starting up in the marquee hire trade don\u2019t worry, most gardens are reasonable level and you don\u2019t come across the bumby scenario very often. You may have customers who are concerned about their flat but sloped garden and whether it\u2019s suitable to have tables and chairs put on it -just ask them if they\u2019re happy using their garden furniture on it, generally they will so you\u2019re fine. DON\u2019T chock up table legs to make them level, the seat height of chairs is standard so someone could end up eating around the ears! Just let the tables follow the lay of the land.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So, if it\u2019s got some small bumps or holes in you can get round it, just fill the holes up and lay your floor over the top. We used to use bark as you can then sprinkle it over the customers garden with no harm done but this is a little spongy underfoot. Sand or even old newspapers are often used. Whatever it is you use put some plastic underneath it first so you can easily clear it away afterwards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There does come a point when simply filling in some small holes won\u2019t do, at this point unless you\u2019ve got an integrated wooden floor system (available on large aluminium frame marquees) then it\u2019s time to walk away and say you just can\u2019t help. It\u2019s upsetting but there are some cases when that\u2019s simply how it is. We\u2019re marquee erectors, not magicians.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
One final point on flooring over uneven surfaces, if you\u2019re laying flooring and you find a hole in the lawn make sure you fill it before finishing the floor, if you cover it over without filling it you\u2019re leaving a hazard for someone to trip in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
