Cool ways to stay cool

Thursday 03 August 2023 by Amazing News Editor

We pitch our SaddleSpans at venues across Europe and the UK, with many installations being on hot summer’s days. Through our years of experience, we’ve developed some canny ideas to keep our crew cool as they set up. Here’s just a few things we do to stay chill during the summer heat:  

  • Make use of the breeze. If you’re by the coast, or somewhere that has a natural breeze, make the most of it. Consider keeping one, or both sides, of the #SaddleSpan open so that a through breeze keeps your clients cool. 

 

  • Set up in the shade. If you have the opportunity to pick your pitch at the festival, exhibition, or event within larger grounds, it’s worth thinking about pitching it up in the shade. Try the shade given from an existing building or under a canopy of trees – we’ll worry about the height clearance and safety of this, and advise you accordingly. 

 

  • Hire a portable air conditioner or cooler. This is essential in any heat wave or if you’re working in southern Europe or a Middle East venue. We can advise on suppliers for these too. 

 

  • Let down the sides and open all entrances. If air con isn’t an option, due to budget or location keep the air flowing by letting down all the sides of the tent down. Alternatively, if you can’t let the sides down on your #SaddleSpan, then we suggest you open all entrances and consider large fans. 

 

  • Stay hydrated. One of the most important, and one of the most often forgotten at festivals, events and parties! ;o)

Sprucing up your event tent for Spring

Wednesday 05 April 2023 by Amazing News Editor

The dark winter months are finally behind us. As we welcome the longer days and lighter evenings, our thoughts are turning to sprucing up Saddlespans for the fast-approaching Spring and Summer events. 

Bring in the light – as the weather improves, the option of not having sides on the Saddlespans at events is a popular one. It means that the light inside and under the canopy is increased, reducing the need for artificial lighting for daytime events. Of course, if your event transitions from daytime to evening, the sides can be re-introduced to emphasise any lighting effects for a night–time event. 

Freshen up – the Spring months inspire a brighter, cleaner look for events. Think about bringing florals, patterns, or pastels in to your décor. Also, if you decide to remove the sides of the Saddlespan, it means your design choices can flow from inside to the outside space too. This can create a larger area to accommodate your clients and guests, promote your message, or launch your product.  

Make a statement – if you want to really stand out from the crowd, there is always the option to brand the Saddlespan exterior too. It will give you optimal brand exposure – especially on a site with multiple exhibitors or at a public site such as a festival. There are several areas on the tent that you can brand, including the sides and banners under the front of the curve. 

So, whilst we give our Saddlespans a good Spring clean ready for our busiest time of the year, consider how you can give your event a makeover. We’re happy to chat your ideas over and recommend any partner organisations within the events industry who may be able to help you too.
