Ways to Supply Power to your Party Marquees

If you want to organise an outdoor party, it is just not as simple as it may seem. Whether it is a  small  or a big party, you want it to be comfortable, enjoyable and safe. One of the most important aspects that contribute to make your party a success is power supply. Power supply is necessary for decoration, DJ, caterers and other contractors. In a nutshell, you cannot do without it. Arranging for power supply to party marquees can be quite a challenge, hence you need to plan about it, so that power interruptions do not play spoilsport.

Let's take a gander at the ways to provide power supply to party marquees:

1.Power supply through extension leads
2.Generator
3.Temporary circuits

1. Power Supply through extension leads

• Be sure about the power requirements, so that you are sure about the number of extension leads you will need. If you believe that more than 3 extension leads will be required, you should go for the other alternatives. 
• Extensions should never be overloaded as it could lead to power failures and short circuits. Take a note of the maximum loading it could take and your power requirements. 
• To prevent any accidental loss, earth leakage circuit breakers must be used.
• Do not run extension leads in such a way that people stumble over them.
• Using extension leads is a good idea but not when party marquees are far from the supply. Using a generator or temporary circuits will be a good option then.

2. Generator

• Generators can create a lot of noise, but super silent generators are available in the market nowadays. You can speak to your generator hire company for that. 
• The generator should be placed far from the marquee, so that it doesn't cause any inconvenience to your guests.
• Standard 13 amp sockets will be required, so make sure that it is included in generator hire.
• Keep some extra diesel so that there are no last minute problems. The tank must be full before the event starts.

3. Temporary Circuits

• You will need an electrician for this. You will need power for decoration, DJ floor etc, so let your electrician know about it.
• Ask him to not overlook the safety aspect as people might trip over the cables and injure themselves.
