The Amazing Tent Company was involved at the Olympics but we can only mention it now.
We were asked by our client thefulleffect to provide a SaddleSpan S5000 Canopy for the Olympic Wrap Party that was thrown for 5000 LOCOG staff and held in and around the Copper Box venue in the Olympic Park just after the Paralympics ended.
The S5000 Canopy was for use as a DJ structure and wet weather cover and was the only temporary structure used at this event.
The event was organised at fairly short notice and we had to move pretty quickly to ensure the installation went without problems. We had to install on a tarmac surface and because of this we brought in 17 tons of crane testing weights to use as ballast.
The event was a great sucess and a good time was had by all. Thank you thefulleffect for the lovely letter praising The Amazing Tent Company Team for their efficient and friendly efforts.
We had a brilliant question asked earlier this week about heating our SaddleSpans during the winter and so I though I’d write a little case study to explain the options available.
Last February we installed a SaddleSpan 4-Y configuration at the Bluestone Resort in Pembrokeshire. Being February it was going to be cold and so the client was offered two choices of heating system.
The first option was to use diesel fired heaters that blow warm air under the tent into diffusers that warm up the structure. This is very good for heating large areas but you cannot control the temperature in different parts of the tent.
The second option, and the one that was taken up, was to use a pressurised hot water system.
We used two large oil fired boilers that arrived in their own 20ft container which pumps hot water into a 2″ pipe that runs around the outside of the tent and at regular intervals pipes into small diffusers located inside that then blows warm dry air into the area. These small diffusers can be thermostatically controlled and at Bluestone 24 of the diffusers raised the internal temperature to 26 degrees C when the outside temperature was 2 degrees! The system was supplied by Watkins Hire who worked closely with us to ensure that everything worked perfectly on the day.
Having warm dry air heating a large structure is essential when it is cold outside. Using traditional space heaters that generate damp heat creates terrible condensation problems to the point where it can seem like it’s raining inside. Having water dripping onto a guest speaker at a conference or the bride and groom at their wedding breakfast is really not a good thing.
With the correct heating solution in place we are able to supply our SaddleSpan structures throughout the year and that gives you great flexibility of choice.
Over the years our tents have been used in some great promotional events. There is something about the SaddleSpan that catches the eye and the way it can be decorated in the branding colours and style of the client make it a popular backdrop or venue for a wide variety of promotional campaigns.
Our SaddleSpan S1000 recently went on tour with the Opera di Peroni
We’ve been on TV with the Special K advert
And we’ve help ASDA with their promotional campaigns
Next time you are thinking of your promotional campaign and are looking for an eye catching design or venue think The Amazing Tent Company and think SaddleSpans.
If you are looking for a large marquee but want something different why not have a look at our SaddleSpan range?
SaddleSpans provide the same function as a large marquee but have the added advantage of being much more flexible. Our SaddleSpans units are available in three different sizes and can be connected together to give you the space or capacity you need and the layout you require.
If you want something different, something special and something that allows you flexibility think SaddleSpan. You will not be disappointed.
Most Event Planners are used to organising conferences and exhibitions indoors but here are five good reasons why you should consider moving outside and into one of our SaddleSpans:
1. No Location Restrictions
Holding an event in one of our SaddleSpan arrangements means that you can stage your conference or exhibition anywhere you want. In a forest, up a mountain, the grounds of a castle or middle of the desert makes no difference to us. As long as we can get to it you can have it there.
2. Be Different
Lots of conferences are held in boring conference halls. Why not stand out and do something that is different? You don’t have to compromise on facilities and you will be doing something new.
3. Create Your Perfect Venue
With an outdoor event you can create exactly what you want. The size and shape of the structure, the dressing of it, the location of the facilities…the possibilites go on. Everthing is under your control and you have the chance to tailor the event to your client’s needs.
4. Go On Tour
Once you have created an event you can take it where ever you want. Brilliant for promotional tours, corporate days out, festivals and shows.
5. Because Mum Said
Mum was always telling us to go outside and play. No reason why we souldn’t – even if we are a little bit older.
Contact us at The Amazing Tent Company if you would like more information on taking your event outside.
