When you go out to see a customer as well as creating a good impression you obviously need to take a good look at where the marquee\u2019s going.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ask the customer if there are any underground cables or pipes you should be aware of -if so have them clearly indicated on a diagram. If there aren\u2019t any it\u2019s worth mentioning at the bottom of your quote \u201cyou have indicated there are no underground pipes or cables to avoid when erecting the marquee\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As well as under the marquee you need to look above. Are there any overhead power lines you need to worry about? Generally this is more likely when you\u2019re putting a marquee up in a field rather than a garden but it should be taken seriously as this article from the BBC shows. Now don\u2019t let stories such as this scare you, especially if you\u2019re starting up a marquee hire business. It\u2019s generally only on larger marquees and when you\u2019re swinging 15ft+ poles around that you should be concerned but I\u2019d always recommend contact EDF energy if there\u2019s an overhead power cable nearby just to be sure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you\u2019re getting a bit concerned about the things you need to think of when you\u2019re on a site visit (remember you\u2019ve also got to sell a marquee and come up with suggested plans!) then don\u2019t worry \u2013 it becomes second nature after a while and it\u2019s worth having a checklist just to make sure. If I can find them I\u2019ll post our old marquee site visit sheets up here to give you ideas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Thanks for reading<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019m away for the next 2 weeks so the factory will probably be more efficient but there won\u2019t be any blog posts until I\u2019m back, sorry.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
