Here at South West Marquees, we’re always working to make the process of organising a marquee event as easy as possible. This is where our Generator Tool comes into play. On this page, you’ll be able to input readily available information from your appliances and our system will do the rest. The information will be passed to our teams who can then create a set-up that works perfectly for your individual needs.

Below, you’ll find instructions on how to use the Generator Tool. Once you have generated a result, all you need to do is save this and send it on to our team. We will work to your specifications, ensuring we provide generators that can properly accommodate all of your devices safely and reliably.

To use this tool:

1.Start by filling in your name, email address and reference number.

2.Add each appliance that will be plugged into the system. – If you don’t know each items power usage, the form will automatically set this to 3kw. 

3.When you have finished either save to PDF, Print or Email to South West Marquees.

4.You do not need to include appliances supplied by SWM as we will allow for this.

We will endeavour to set up your power system to accommodate all the items specified. Items not on this table and not accounted for by SWM, or Any items that have been added but power in Kw left blank (Auto filled to 3) may not be able to run off the system. The customer bears the responsibility for ensuring that power systems are adequate for the specific event. If this table is sent to us, we will look through it and comment if anything seems wrong.

Any appliance plugged into this system should be safe and have a current Pat test label. As the Hirer you are responsible for the suitability of the entire system. We are happy to help provide any information you require to ensure safety and suitability.
