Are they waterproof?
Yes
 
Can we attach or remove the sidewalls ourselves?
Yes by all means. It is very easy to do and should take no more than a few minutes. To attach the sidewalls you simply clip them on to the cord that runs along the inside of all the arches.
 
Do we need flooring?
It very much depends on the type of event and condition of the grass. We supply the DandyCoco matting which is a traditional woven coconut matting perfect for any occasion. Most weddings will require flooring where as the more informal events will work perfectly well without.
 
Can we decorate them ourselves?
Due to their fantastic shape and design they do not require linings as some of the more traditional and expensive clear span marquees but you are more than welcome to decorate the poles and hang light items but please do so using string as opposed to pins or sticky tape.
 
How many guests can we seat around a table?
We supply wooden 5ft round tables which as a general rule seat 8-10. We also supply 6ft trestle tables which again as a general rule seat 4-6. The trestle tables are also ideal for use as buffet tables.
 
How high are the arches and inside of the marquees?
The arches are approximately 7ft at the apex and once inside, the marquees are 16ft high at the centre poles.
 
What is damage waiver?
This provides you indemnity against the cost of any repairs should our equipment be accidentally damaged or lost during the hire period. Indemnity does not extend to damage caused by deliberate abuse or neglect.
 
Damage waiver is included automatically for a 6% premium on the overall cost of hire.
 
When should we cut the grass?
Please don't leave it till the last minute. Ideally the aim is to erect the marquee on as dry a surface as possible to limit condensation and damage to the grass, therefore if possible it is best to cut the grass a couple of days prior to allow it to dry out.
