Pub heater

During Spring and summer months heating is generally only required to take the chill off later in the evening. During autumn and especially winter you should heat the marquee for a reasonable time before guests arrive to ensure a successful event.

Do:

• Use a heater with a powerful fan
• In the winter have the heating on for at least an hour before people arrive. On arrival guests should walk in to a wall of warmth, if they walk in to a cold marquee they will not warm up for the whole function

Don't:

• Use a halogen heater, cabinet heater or any other kind of infra-red heater without a fan. They are not powerful enough for larger marquees
• Have anything close to or touching a heater (sounds obvious but still worth mentioning)

LPG Blower/Space Heaters

Blower or Space heaters require gas bottles and will heat large areas very quickly. They can be purchased or hired for very reasonable prices.

Even though there is a grill at the front of the heaters we wouldn't recommend using them at a function where small children are present.

Indirect Heaters (photograph c/o HSS Hire)

Indirect heaters are usually powered by oil/diesel and are similar to ducted heaters in that they sit outside the marquee and the warm air is ducted in to the side of the marquee.

Indirect heaters can also be prohibitively expensive so again hiring is usually recommended.

We are always happy to offer more customised advice for your event, giving a few details of the event you are planning (type of event, space available, number of guests and diagrams/photographs of the site if possible) and we will be more than happy to advise on your options.

The price includes a full tank of diesel to last for upto 16 hours.
