Air Conditioners Brisbane

Having an outdoor event and need to keep your patrons and party guests at a comfortable temperature? No worries, you just need to figure out the subject of air conditioning for marquees. How many times has it happened to you? You’ve got everything set up for your marquee party and then your entire entourage melts in the heat? Nobody wants to clean up that mess so you’d better get it sorted out ahead of time. Another common problem with air conditioning marquees is that it can get cold in the great outdoors, you may wish to warm things up a little to have a cool time. We all know Brisbane can get hot.

What is a Marquee and Where Does Air Conditioning Come Into Play?

The word marquee can be used to refer to many things but in this case we’re interested in those larger tents that people set up so they can enjoy the space of an outdoor setting without lending themselves vulnerable to quirks of nature. Marquis is an altogether different word and not pertinant to this discussion. The weather can be a fickle mistress at time, that’s where the marquee comes in handy. A portable or outdoor air conditioner can also help to keep things cool.

Traditional Pole Marquees - consist of canvas and more recently PVC, under tension by means of centre poles, side poles and guy ropes which are attached to ground stakes hammered into soft surfaces only such as a lawn or field. Hand made of white cotton canvas, traditional poled marquees are more attractive but much less practical and versatile than aluminium frame marquees. The modern PVC traditional pole marquee was introduced due to the material being easier to clean than woven canvas and giving them a longer hire life span.

Aluminium Frame Marquees - Aluminium frame tents have no centre poles or guy ropes, can be erected on any surface and adjacent to buildings or annexe tents. Much more stable and can span a much wider area over pools, flower beds or trees.

Typical 20′x20′ High Peak Frame Tent set up at Events Party & Tent Rentals for Demonstration

A newer category of the Marquee/Party tents is the High Peak Frame Tents (known by several brand names like “frame & cable”, “vista”, “pinnacle”, etc). These tents have the advantage of the pole tents with the high top, ease of installation, cleaner look, and fewer parts. They also have the advantage of the Frame Tents as they do not have support pole(s) on the inside of the tent that touches the ground. The high top look is accomplished by using a “floating pole”, which is a pole that sits on cables that run across the tent interior from the top of the sides. Most tent manufactures are now making these tents and they come in a variety of sizes and shapes that can be joined together to meet the needs of unique space requirements.

Now that you know what it is, you would be wanting to get your hands on some air conditioners so you can help regulate the air temperature and provide for a nice environment for you and your guests. You might consider leasing air conditioning or renting a portable air conditioner to satisfy your needs.
