Can you Erect a Marquee on a Slope?

It’s not uncommon to require a marquee on a ground that isn’t perfectly level. As a result, customers often pose queries at the initial enquiry stage to discover if our marquees will go on a slope. While no two inclines are the same, we aim to solve the problem presented by uneven footings.

Gentle Incline & Uneven Grounds

A gentle slope or patches of uneven terrain is likely to generate more problems for seated events than standing/mingling. Either way, we would recommend a boarded flooring rather than carpet, enabling the imperfections and deviances to be negated.

Pronounced Slopes

Additional costs are incurred when the ground has apparent challenges, including a pronounced slope or heavily rutted. The workaround is a raised boarded base atop a scaffold frame. With the flexibility and durability of scaffolding, we can achieve a spirit level sound base to house your marquee.

Take a look at a recent marquee erected on a site with a 2-foot slope over a clients garden. Due to the versatility of the steel post scaffold base, we were able to utilise the entire space available, a mixture of stone flagging and turf.
