Guide to Effective Marquee Anchors

If you’re planning an outdoor event or gathering, a marquee tent is a great way to provide protection from the elements and keep your guests comfortable, and Your Event Cover is Yorkshire’s premier marquee and event hiring brand. We have a range of professional pop-up and modular marquees of many different sizes that we can provide to cater for your event and any number of guests.

But before we set up your marquee tent, it’s important to consider how we’ll anchor it to the ground. Anchoring your marquee tent is essential for the safety and security of you and your guests, so it’s important to understand the different types of weights and pegs available and how we will anchor your marquee tent safely and securely.

Anchoring Your Marquee Tent - Why It's Essential

Anchoring your marquee tent is essential to ensure that it stays put in windy conditions. Without the right anchoring weights and pegs, your marquee tent could blow away, leading to injury or damage to property. It’s also important for us to anchor your marquee tent if you’re planning to use it for an extended period of time, as it will help keep it secure and stable.

In addition to safety and security, anchoring your marquee tent can also help us to protect it from damage. By anchoring it to the ground, we can prevent it from being blown away and damaged by strong winds or other weather conditions, ensuring that future customers also have a safe shelter for their own event.

How we select the right kind of anchor for your event

When it comes to choosing the right weights and pegs for your marquee tent, there are a few things to consider. The first is the size of your marquee tent. The size of your marquee tent will determine the size of the weights and pegs we should use. If your marquee hire tent is larger, then we may need to use heavier weights and larger pegs.

The second thing to consider is the type of terrain we’ll be setting up your marquee tent on.

If your hire marquee is to be erected in hard-standing ground, such as tarmac or concrete, then we will ensure that we bring ample, substanstial weights to ensure the total safety of the ten

If we’re setting up your marquee hire on soft or uneven ground, then we may use ground spikes and pegs, often in addition to weights. There is no such thing as too much anchorage on a marquee!  

Finally, it’s important to consider the weather conditions in your area. If you’re expecting strong winds or other weather conditions, you may need to use heavier weights and larger pegs to ensure that your marquee tent stays secure.  

We must advise that for insurance purposes, and for the safety of all involved, if extreme adverse weather conditions are expected then we may not be able to erect your marquee in a manner than is safe for you or our team. However, we will remain in constant dialogue with you ahead of the event, so that the best decision can be made for all.
