Choose equipment that fits the sites
Ask early prospects about site dimensions, access, ground surface and electricity. Compare those details with the manufacturer’s requirements.
Before buying, check packed weight, vehicle needs, operating instructions, required inspections and spare parts. Allow space to unfold and fully dry the unit.
Cost the whole job
Worked example: 30 rentals at €140 produce €4,200 in revenue; 60 produce €8,400. Equipment, travel, insurance, maintenance and labour still have to be paid.
Time loading, setup, takedown and cleaning. Include the second trip to collect the unit. Specify delivery, installation and supervision separately in the quote.
Prepare a safe installation
Follow the manual for anchoring, clearances, blowers and protective equipment. Measure wind on site with suitable equipment and observe both the manufacturer’s limits and applicable rules. Stop use when conditions become unsafe.
Identify who will supervise and check that they understand capacity, restrictions and operating instructions. A signed form cannot replace active supervision.
- Check ground, weather, power and installation before opening.
- Have a shutdown and evacuation procedure.
- Record checks and remove damaged equipment from service.
Agree weather terms before payment
Explain what happens if wind, rain, unsuitable ground or access prevents installation. Set postponement and refund terms before taking payment.
Describe transport, setup, operation and supervision to your insurer. Obtain written confirmation of cover, exclusions and the evidence needed after an incident.
Prepare for the next booking
Inspect fabric, seams, anchors and blower on return. Clean and dry everything before storage. Do not make a wet unit available as though it were ready.
Show customers real installations, required space and the full price. Track requests declined for lack of stock separately from weather cancellations before buying another unit.
