Quick answer
Start from the venue, not the furniture list
Rain plans need a trigger time, covered holding area, drainage path and decision owner—not only extra canopy.
Details to settle first
- Set the go/no-go time in writing.
- Protect soft furnishings before rain starts.
- Keep wet cables and pedestrian routes separated.

- Quantities per zone with an acceptable alternative noted beside each.
- Who delivers, places and removes furniture, and where the handover happens.
- Setup-ready and dismantling times mapped to the event run-sheet.
- Collection window, deposit and any change or overtime terms in writing.

How current is this guidance?
Guidance is updated when substantive planning information changes. The date shown on the page is a single site-content marker, not a claim that every page was individually reviewed that day.
What if my situation doesn't match the guide's assumptions?
Use the reasoning behind the numbers, not just the numbers themselves — venues and event formats vary enough that one fixed formula rarely fits everyone.
