5 summer events that might require ground protection

Aside from a new building project, there are plenty of other reasons why ground protection companies are likely to be very busy this summer up and down the country. Hopefully, the weather will be good and all of the events will be a huge success. Let’s take a quick look at some of those organisers who, if they haven’t already, need to be in contact with companies like Ground Access Hire to ensure their ground or land is sufficiently protected.

1. Summer Weddings – Not all summer weddings will have an outdoor function, but there is growing popularity for this kind of celebration. Weddings or receptions might take place in a private garden or on a piece of public land and ground protection mats could be used as walkways or underneath marquees to provide a suitable surface.
2. Music Festivals – It won’t be long before these festivals are in full swing around the country. They vary in size but whoever is on the bill, make sure that ground protection is seen as a priority.
3. Sports Field Maintenance – The summer is often the off season for many sports and is usually a time to refresh and renew playing surfaces. Ground access mats can help make the procedure much easier and safer.
4. Car Boot Sales – Not one that you would necessarily associate with ground protection mats, but a boot sale in the mud is generally no fun at all – so well worth considering.
5. Villages Fetes and Fairs – You may be hoping for the sun to shine but if the rain comes and there are no mats in place, you might as well send everyone home!

Summer Wedding Success with Ground Protection Mats in Your Marquee

Summer weddings are always popular, and outdoor weddings especially have become even more popular in recent years. Everyone hopes for good weather on the big day itself and with a little bit of luck, the sun will shine and it will be a magnificent event that Bride, Groom, friends and family remember for many years. Regardless of the weather, however, plenty of preparation needs to be made when planning an outdoor event, perhaps even more so than an indoor wedding.

There are safety elements to consider that might otherwise already be taken care of at an indoor venue and of course the weather itself may yet play a big part. If you are hiring a big marquee for the event, either for the wedding ceremony itself or the reception afterwards, you need to consider the nature of the ground beneath the marquee. It might even be the case that you are hiring someone else’s ground and they have stipulated that they would like it back in very good condition.

Ground protection mats or temporary road mats as they are sometimes referred to, are the most obvious solution as they are versatile enough to work efficiently on most ground surfaces and really do increase safety levels. There might be a lot of people passing through the marquee and the more stable and even the ground is, the more successful your event will be. If the rain does unfortunately fall, you will certainly be glad you decided to hire or buy these protection mats as they can potentially prevent an actual mud bath from taking place.

The mats can make the ground as even as possible and provide a good walking surface for all those attending the wedding or other special event. A company like Ground Access Hire can provide you with much more information about the mats as well as actually supplying them for your event. In most cases you can choose to hire or buy. If you hire them, the engineers at GAH are able to install them in time for your event and also disassemble  them when the Bride and Groom are happily married and all the guests have gone home happy from the day’s big events.
