Flooring<br />

Private Party, Hampshire<br />

Product: FloorStak tailored cassette floor<br />

system plus structure support and levelling<br />

equipment<br />

Supplier: FloorStak, 07841 069627, alan@<br />

regenteng.com, www.floorstak.com<br />

Details: Joseph Benjamin Marquees<br />

(www.josephbenjaminmarquees.co.uk)<br />

near Aylesbury recently completed the<br />

first installation of its beautiful brand<br />

new Sperry pole tent for a private party<br />

event in Hampshire. Because of the steep<br />

slope of the chosen site, it was decided<br />

that cassette flooring would be installed<br />

and would need to be levelled using the<br />

FloorStak system.<br />

The radiused ends of the 14m x 32m tent<br />

were accommodated by two special floor<br />

sections, purpose-made for use with this<br />

type of pole tent. While erecting the tent<br />

on a rectangular floor would have been<br />

quite possible (and it’s commonly done<br />

this way), the company decided to entrust<br />

FloorStak with the manufacture of the<br />

special ‘tailored’ end units which follow the<br />

shape of the tent and eliminated the risk of<br />

water ingress from exposed corners of the<br />

floor.<br />

The resulting installation, which also<br />

incorporated a lower level seating area<br />

for viewing the entertainment stage,<br />

looked very professional. The design and<br />

production concept behind the FloorStak<br />

cassette floor system help to make it highly<br />

configurable and therefore versatile. It<br />

is proving invaluable to event installers,<br />

and is also now being used in military and<br />

emergency aid applications worldwide.<br />

Customer feedback: Joe Goode, director<br />

of Joseph Benjamin Marquees, said that<br />

the levelling system, flooring, and pole<br />

tent were all erected from scratch in the<br />

first two days of the build, which he felt<br />

was quite remarkable since much of the<br />

equipment used was completely new to his<br />

team.<br />
