Why? Well this stops any moisture coming up and prevents condensation building up. As I\u2019ve mentioned\/ranted previously I just don\u2019t understand why anyone would use breathable flooring, we actually got called out by a customer once who said the marquee was leaking but it was just condensation (it hadn\u2019t rained for 2 weeks!). Grass is tough stuff, even if it\u2019s covered for a week it soon gets back to normal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/diymarquees.co.uk\/images\/carpet-laying.gif\" alt=\"laying marquee carpet flooring diagram 1\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Next you need to cut the carpet to the right length \u2013 we\u2019ve used a 6m x 12m marquee as an example but obviously just cut it to whatever length your marquee is. At this stage you only nail the ends of the carpet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/diymarquees.co.uk\/images\/carpet-laying2.gif\" alt=\"marquee carpet flooring diagram 2\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The carpet needs a little stretching but coconut matting needs a lot of stretching out, as I\u2019ve mentioned previously it\u2019s a natural fibre so can expand and contract so use more nails in matting than carpet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/diymarquees.co.uk\/images\/carpet-laying3.gif\" alt=\"marquee flooring diagram 3\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>All make sense? Remember the carpet is in rolls 50m long so it leaves plenty left over to run paths to the marquee (nail these down too).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I hope this helps those who haven\u2019t tackled marquee flooring yet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thanks for reading<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Spencer<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Marquee flooring: As we\u2019re now supplying carpet it makes sense to run through how to lay it in a marquee.
