With experience you&#8217;ll be able to see exactly what your marquees will look like when erected and therefore what problems you&#8217;re likely to face.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The first few times you go to site visits you won&#8217;t know what to look for so here&#8217;s some tips:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>If you&#8217;re putting a marquee up against the house always have the flat gable end against any door, especially if it&#8217;s opening outwards. Two reasons: 1. if it rains the water goes off to the side, not towards the house. 2. In most designs of marquee there&#8217;s no bar across the gable to stop doors opening etc.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Think about how you&#8217;re going to anchor the marquee down. If it&#8217;s on grass it&#8217;s usually straight forward stakes\/guy ropes. If it&#8217;s on a patio then you need to think about weights, longer guy lines or bolting it down.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Access: check the ease of access to the site<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Is there enough room to erect the marquee (not just enough room for it to fit when erected). Do this twice!<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>If you&#8217;re using stakes into the ground check there aren&#8217;t any cables etc running under the area.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Make sure there aren&#8217;t any power lines overhead<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Look at the parking outside, this may influence how many vehicles you bring.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>If I remember any more pointers I&#8217;ll post them later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thanks for reading<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Spencer.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A site visit is normally done from 12 months to 2 weeks before the marquee&#8217;s going up.
