Here are some of the key pieces of equipment, which Tanks Direct can supply, which are indispensable for any outdoor event, whether it is for a music festival, agricultural show, sports tournament/ event, wedding, or construction sites, we have something which can suit.

Plan For The Weather

The weather plays a crucial role in the success of an outdoor event. It can greatly impact attendee experience, event logistics, and overall safety. Unpredicted weather conditions, especially in the UK, make it essential for event organisers to be prepared for any scenario. This is where Tanks Direct can be of assistance with its range of products.

Below are a few products which can help mitigate the effects of adverse weather conditions on outdoor events. Here's how they can help:

Rainwater Harvesting

Excessive rain can lead to waterlogging and muddy conditions, making it difficult for attendees to navigate the event site. By positioning rainwater harvesting tanks around the site, they can collect and store rainwater, reducing the risk of waterlogging and allowing for better site management.

Water Storage Tanks

In the event of water shortages or limited access to water supply, water storage cans ensure a reliable and sufficient water source for various event needs, such as drinking water, sanitation, and irrigation.

If a marquee or an event tent is needed, keeping the structure securely weighed down, can be a tricky task. Not only does our multi-functional marquee weight help ballast the marquees/ tents, it can double up as water tank. Once they are not required any more, they can be emptied and easily carried away.
