What do you need to do for a successful outdoor event?

When it comes to planning a big event, people tend to use power generators to ensure that there is enough standby power throughout the whole event. This article will provide some tips on what to do when planning a successful outdoor event.

There are many factors you should keep in mind when planning your next outdoor event. 

What Do You Need for a Successful Outdoor Event?
An outdoor event without a tent or suitable shelter is not a good idea, especially when there is a chance of bad weather conditions. The national average for annual rainfall in 2017 was 8% above average in Australia at 504.06 mm. It might rain on your parade, so consider tent hire. In addition, other equipment and installations are needed as following:
  • Bar – The bar should be located as far from the entrance as possible.  
  • Bathrooms/hand-washing stations – One or 2 portable restrooms will lower your indoor/outdoor traffic. 
  • Comfortable seating – Plan to seat very carefully. For example, don’t put your elderly guests near the DJ or sound speakers. If you’re not planning a sit-down event, provide enough chairs for 60-85% of your guests. 
  • Cooling/heating – Days can be uncomfortably warm and evenings can get chilly. You may want to consider hiring a portable HVAC (heating, ventilation, air conditioning) unit. 
  • Dance floor – Not only for dancing, but portable flooring can also provide better footing, protect your lawn, and serve as a base for carpeting. 
  •  Entertainment and sound equipment – Microphone(s), guitar amps and your PA (public address) system should be properly powered. 
  •  Lighting – Set the mood you want with indirect lighting, colored/flashing party lights, or gobo (GOes before optics) for specialty logo or message lighting. 
  • Refrigeration – Foods should be kept at proper temperature until ready for use. Rather than small coolers or ice boxes, consider hiring a portable refrigeration unit. 

Other Electrical Considerations
A power failure can have a big impact on the event so a portable generator will be a good option to accommodate in these situations. Generators should also have documentation of electrical safety and a safety fence should be installed around generator working parts.
It is important that all equipment and wiring for your outdoor event should be installed by a licensed electrician, completed and tested before the event to ensure the safety of people attending the event. Therefore, it is good to consider the location of overhead power lines, buried cables, and main isolators controlling generator-powered equipment before positioning your outdoor stage, generator, lights, and tent.

Here are some insights from leading providers of generators for sale in Australia. Why Diesel Generators?  Diesel generators have long been the preferred choice for off-grid electrical power solutions in tough environments. Here’s why:  Higher energy density – Diesel is a fuel with a high energy density, which means more energy can be extracted from a litre of diesel than other fuel types like petrol It’s the same reason you can drive further on a tank of diesel than the same amount of petrol. Diesel is readily available – As a fuel, diesel is widely available so it’s not difficult or expensive to transport it to remote sites.
