Halogen heaters*, patio heaters, cabinet heaters, table heaters are all useless in a marquee. Indirect heaters and space heaters are the best.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Think about the layout of your marquee, heaters should be positioned near seating areas and pointing towards doors or anywhere heat will escape from. Don\u2019t have them pointing towards a dance floor.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>In April\/May and September\/October you will just need heaters to heat the marquee up before people arrive and at the end of the evening when the temperature drops<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>In Dec\/Jan\/Feb you need at least twice as many heaters to make sure it\u2019s toasty all night. I always made sure there were enough heaters to make the marquee uncomfortably hot, that way you always know your customer is in complete control (assuming they\u2019re all adjustable).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>If there\u2019s snow forecast make sure your customer knows to have the heaters on regularly to melt it off the roof. If it builds up that\u2019s a lot of weight to be on top of your marquee. Even if it means you have to go out with more fuel it\u2019s worth making sure no snow settles on your marquee.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>It\u2019s got to be said the ideal heaters are indirect ones, they\u2019re large units that sit outside the marquee and are controlled by a thermostat so the customer has complete control. They can be powered by gas or diesel, we preferred gas as it\u2019s easier but lots of people prefer diesel. The only problem is indirect heaters are very expensive.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Indirect heaters typically cost \u00a31500 and hire out for \u00a3150-\u00a3200.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Space heaters cost \u00a3100-\u00a3200 and hire out for \u00c2\u00a350-\u00c2\u00a390 but they\u2019re quite noisy, not incredibly child friendly (a grate stops anyone touching the flame) and give off water vapour when burning gas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>* Knowing we\u2019d be busy with the showmans show I wrote this 3 weeks ago, since then I\u2019ve been to Paris (on business -which sounds good but really it was just an excuse to see my brother in law) and eaten outside under a halogen heater. I\u2019ll concede that maybe in small (3m\/4m) draughtless marquees they may be useful to take the chill off. In winter I\u2019d still go with a fan heater.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thanks for reading<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If there\u2019s one thing that you want to get right it\u2019s heating, if people are cold it\u2019ll ruin their night no matter what the marquee looks like.
