Supplies for Events and Exhibition Fit-out

Power should be calculated by adding up the consumption of all the loads you will connect, adding a margin for motor start-up. Silenced generators are better suited to events in urban areas or near homes, while open models are easier to repair. The generator should be placed outdoors, away from entrances and windows, to prevent exhaust gases from entering occupied spaces.

Industrial extension leads and CEE sockets connect stages, stands and lighting more safely than household cables. Choose the cable according to the power drawn and the length, to avoid overheating. Sockets and plugs must be intact, with a seal and a cover. The connection must be made by qualified personnel, and the system must be protected by a suitable residual current device (RCD).

For marquees and temporary spaces, air coolers or portable heaters are used, chosen according to the volume to be treated. Combustion heaters require air exchange, while electric ones must be connected to a suitable electrical system. Check the insulation of the marquee, because it greatly affects the result. Do not use combustion appliances in enclosed spaces without ventilation.

The auger ground anchor with reducer screws into the ground and is used to secure parasols and poles. Sandy or soft ground calls for a longer anchor with more grip, while on hard ground an alternative fixing is better. Outdoor structures must be carefully anchored, especially in wind. Always check the hold before opening the parasol.

Polypropylene artificial grass is distinguished by its pile height, which affects softness and durability. For areas with heavy foot traffic, a taller, denser pile is better. The pile height stated in the datasheet, such as 15 or 25 mm, should be compared with the intended use. Prepare a levelled, drained base before laying, and fix the grass along the edges.

Poly rattan is a synthetic material that withstands the weather, suited to outdoor sets and garden chairs. Metal with textilene gives folding chairs that are easy to carry and store. For temporary set-ups, light furniture that is easy to move is best. Choose according to the number of seats and the space available, and protect the furniture with a cover when not in use.

The reclining folding aluminium beach chair is designed for the beach and must be assembled carefully. Check that the reclining mechanisms are locked before sitting down, and do not use it in strong wind. On sandy ground, use the auger ground anchor to hold a nearby parasol in place. After use, dry the furniture and store it away from moisture to make it last longer.
