Connecting a marquee to a house typically involves two approaches:
Butting the Marquee Directly Up to the House:
- Generally feasible when house doors open to the marquee end rather than the side, beneficial for weather resistance and structural considerations.
- Ensure a snug fit between the marquee and the house, especially near overhanging guttering.
- Leave off the end panels facing the house and position them on either side, filling any gaps between the marquee corners and the house.
- This arrangement enhances the event atmosphere by allowing house windows to offer a direct view into the marquee.
- For a polished appearance and improved insulation, consider lifting the scalloped edge of the roof facing the house slightly.
Using a Walkway:
- Our modular walkways come in 2x2m, 2x4m, or 2x6m structures, but improvising with wood or PVC is also an option.
- Keep the walkway as short as possible if the event spans both the house and the marquee to encourage seamless flow between the two spaces.
- Consider heating provisions for the walkway if needed.
