MARQUEES AND GAZEBOS FOR PEDESTRIAN OR VEHICLE CHECKPOINTS
2020 has seen the world change quickly and dramatically with the emergence of the Covid-19 Coronavirus, and
whilst the majority of the nation has been bound by governmental instruction to remain at home, many key
workers have come to the fore to ensure the UK continues to tick over whilst the NHS tends to the sick.
Supermarkets have become sparse focal points, waste disposal operatives have kept the country free to recycle,
and logistics firms and hauliers have quietly and efficiently transported the country’s vital produce and equipment
to their destinations.
Large distribution centres or manufacturing plants in particular, often have a large crossover period as shift
changes take place with hundreds of staff arriving for work shortly before hundreds more leave for the day. It can
be difficult to control the in or outflow of staff in an orderly and safe fashion, so some businesses have placed
large Gala Tent marquees to create checkpoints. This will then allow your security staff to stem the flow of large
groups at any one time.
Depending on the number of staff, or the nature of the work being done, there are many different Gala Tent
marquees and gazebos that are suitable for the purpose of entry point checkpoint, whether it’s a long, thin
marquee that assists with keeping an orderly, single file entrance to work, or a pop-up gazebo used as a
workstation shelter for the assigned security staff to keep base. Let’s have a look at the possible options and the
benefits thereof.
Marquee Checkpoint Tent
Marquees are typically much larger than gazebos in
the amount of space they can cover, so they would
make ideal queueing tents for staff, ensuring they’re
protected from each other, and as the PVC or PE
covers on each Gala Tent marquee are waterproof
and UV protected, they’ll also shelter employees from
the weather. Why not go extra creative with your
checkpoint tent by taking a 6m wide tent and create
your own barriers along the centre to ensure exit and
entry can occur simultaneously if required, cutting
down on the number of staff waiting around?
Alternatively, a 3m x 12m marquee is the ideal
single-file structure for you.
Gazebo Checkpoint Tent
Smaller but far quicker to deploy, a gazebo makes a
great checkpoint station to ensure the health and
safety of any member of security staff tasked with
controlling the flow of staff into the compound. It will
help to keep both the security agent and any
electronic ‘swiping in’ equipment they use dry from the
rain or sheltered from the sun with ease, and with the
added option of printing, you can easily add company
logos to the gazebo roof and sides to ensure brand
guidelines are adhered to at all time.
