Keep Your Tensile Structure in Tip-Top Shape this Winter

To keep your marquee structure in tip-top shape, cleaning and maintenance are vital to ensure its longevity. Tensile fabric structures should undergo regular inspection and maintenance, which is also required by some building warranties. While all J&J Carter’s structures are built to last, due to extreme weather conditions and/or accidental damage will mean they need servicing over time.

Time to Take Stock

As peak event season draws to a close, now is the ideal time to review and assess your PVC stock. Should you need any marquee PVC repairs or marquee replacement covers, our friendly team would be delighted to help.

Clean Regularly

The optimum maintenance and cleaning frequency depends on a number of different factors, such as the form of the structure and its surrounding environment. Our durable PVC marquee covers will perform for many seasons with the right care. Regular cleaning will enhance their performance and keep your marquee set-up looking its absolute best. As we enter the Winter months, now is the perfect time to clean and preserve your event structure, particularly those that will be required to stand at events during the harsher winter weather.

Structure Inspections

Your fabric structure should undergo a visual safety examination once a year on both the top and underside, as well as after any extreme weather.

In addition to inspecting the fabric, ensure that all supporting components are checked for stability and integrity. Check all boundary cables, tie-back cables, tie rods, pins, and fabric to structure connections. This will also enable you to check for vandalism, excessive fatigue, and other external damage. Photographing at this stage is always recommended to document any issues or concerns.

Marquee Upgrades and Insulation

Perhaps your PVC has reached the end of its life-cycle, or you are considering expanding your structure. With the proper maintenance, J&J Carter structures are designed and engineered to take everything the British weather can throw at them. Without proper maintenance they may become damaged, unsafe or may not perform as well as they did when first installed.

With growing demand for thermally efficient structures, we have two components designed to reduce your energy consumption by creating an insulated event structure.
