Planning a wedding on a sloped or uneven backyard in Perth? Wedding Marquee hire from Spuds Marquee Hire – Trusted Wedding Marquee Hire can turn your garden into a stunning event space without the stress of uneven ground.

Why Choosing the Right Marquee Matters on Uneven Lawns

Uneven lawns are common in Perth gardens, especially in older homes or properties in suburbs like Darlington, Applecross, or Swanbourne. Picking the wrong marquee can lead to:

  • Wobbly tables and chairs
  • Water pooling if it rains
  • Structural instability during strong winds, common in Fremantle or coastal Perth

What to Look for in a Wedding Marquee for Uneven Lawns

  • Adjustable leg heights: Some marquees allow leg adjustments to level the floor on a slope.
  • Solid flooring options: Consider hard flooring, dance floors, or pro floors to create an even surface over grass.
  • Modular or flexible designs: Frame marquees can adapt to small dips and slopes.
  • Weatherproofing: Perth weather can be unpredictable — rain, hail, or strong winds need a sturdy structure.

How Much Space Do You Need for a Garden Wedding Marquee?

Voice search tip: “How much space do I need for a marquee in my backyard in Perth?” Most couples in Perth suburbs like Mount Lawley or South Perth find that a 6x12m marquee fits 50 guests comfortably, leaving space for a dance floor and catering area. Always measure your lawn and leave 1-2 meters clearance around the edges.

Tips for Installing a Marquee on Uneven Lawns

  • Clear rocks, branches, and debris before setup.
  • Use decking boards or temporary flooring to level small dips.
  • Anchor the marquee securely — even on gentle slopes, winds can shift stakes.
  • Work with a local provider like Spuds Marquee Hire for Perth-specific advice and professional installation.
