So it’s important to make sure that your outdoor seating provider uses a system that can meet each of the core needs of your event.

2

Will the seating be safe?

However big or small your event, there is nothing more important than the safety of the spectators in attendance. To make sure that the seating at your event is fully compliant, ask your supplier to provide documentation confirming that they adhere to the safety regulations set by the industry.
