MARQUEE WEIGHT FAQ
How Much Weight Do You Need To Hold Down A Marquee?
The amount of weight needed to hold down a marquee is dependent on the size of the marquee itself, as larger marquees have a larger surface area for the wind to act upon, and so require more weight to keep them safe.
This question is one of the most commonly asked questions and unfortunately it is not one we are able to answer. Due to the many variables between structures, terrain, weather conditions etc. you will need to speak to the manufacturer of your product for their recommended ‘safe weight per leg’ calculations and take the location and forecast weather into consideration too.
Alternatively you can seek advice from a structural engineer.
How quickly can your marquee weights be with me?
We offer a fast and reliable delivery service, day and night. Please contact us for more information.
How many blocks can I have delivered at once?
If the customer can unload the vehicle at site, we can deliver a maximum weight of 27,000 KG on a single artic lorry. This equates to approximately:
- 135 x 200KG ballast blocks
- 54 x 500KG ballast blocks
- 27 x 1000KG ballast blocks
If Block Aid unload the blocks at site we can carry 22,000 KG, which equates to approximately:
- 110 x 200KG ballast blocks
- 44 x 500KG ballast blocks
- 22 x 1000KG ballast blocks
This load may be reduced if the HIAB or a JCB is required.
How do i position the blocks once your driver has left?
Our driver will supply you with one of our specially made pump trucks to move the ballast blocks into their final positions.
Do you have anything to cover the concrete blocks
Yes! We can supply black or white covers for our blocks from the 100kg size through to and including the 1000kg ballast block. We also have white covers for our 1000kg Kentledge Multi block.

How are the weights collected?
Weights will be collected from the point of delivery at the end of the hire period.
