The construction site for the Spiegeltent

  • The size of the construction site must be sufficiently large according to the surface of the Spiegeltent, see ground plan.

  • A Spiegeltent must be assembled completely level; therefore the construction site must be reasonably flat and may have a maximum slope of 30 cm over the full length and width of the Spiegeltent.

  • The ground surface may be: grass field, concrete, paving stones, tiles,… as long as it is hard and stable (obviously not marshland!).

Assembly of the Spiegeltent

  • During construction we do not require electricity; assembling the Spiegeltent is entirely manual labour.

  • Assembling a Spiegeltent is hard physical work, 1001 components are manually fitted. It is therefore very important that during assembly and dismantling the truck can remain directly next to the tent, maximum 3 metres distance from truck tailgate to the front of the Spiegeltent.

  • Our truck with trailer has the maximum permitted dimensions: Total length: 16 m – Width: 2.55 m – Height: 4 m | Total weight = 30 to 40 tons.

  • This combination must be able to reach the construction site without difficulty; if necessary, the tenant must provide (steel) driving plates in advance.

  • Toilet available at all times.

  • For assembly or dismantling lasting more than one day, please provide a shower for our construction team.

To build the structure, we must be able to hammer 4 stakes into the ground (only still needed for Spiegeltent Tivoli). If this is not possible:

  • e.g. because the ground is too hard,… or paved,… or not permitted for any reason

  • Then the tenant must provide 4 alternative anchoring points, e.g. 4 vehicles or ballast of minimum 1000 kg

  • These anchoring points are only used to attach the ropes.

  • This is required only during assembly and dismantling of the structure, approx. 3 hours.

Floors & Stage

  • The Spiegeltent always includes a wooden floor and a stage.

  • Difference in height between dance floor and stage, see ground plan.

  • Size of the stage, see ground plan.

Tables

  • Our standard tables are original funfair tables (+/- 50 cm x 90 cm), sufficient to have a drink… For dining, these may be replaced with a round table Ø 1.40 m or 1.50 m.

  • To avoid any misunderstanding… we only rent our Spiegeltenten with standard interior, no additional furniture such as tables, chairs, etc.

Velvet ceiling

  • The Spiegeltent is decorated with a fire-resistant inner cloth (M1). Certificate available on request.

PVC canvas

  • The roof covering is made of fire-resistant PVC (M2). Certificate available on request. (Not applicable to Spiegeltent “La Gaieté,” which has an aluminium roof.)

Bar

  • This is only a worktop; no beer tap, no sink, etc. The worktop consists of several parts; we can remove one to allow space for a mobile tap installation.

Water supply and drainage

  • Under the bar there is an opening Ø +/- 15 cm in the floor for drainage connection. Water supply must also enter through this point.

Fire extinguishers

  • Tenant must provide minimum 2 fire extinguishers, or 1 per 150 m².

Electricity

  • Behind the bar, all our 220V plugs come together; tenant must provide a power strip for 5 plugs (depending on type of Spiegeltent) for main lighting and emergency lighting (220V). Please provide power the day of assembly approx. 14:00 to allow us to test the lighting.

  • For assembly/dismantling lasting more than one day, power must be provided for our camper van where we will sleep (220V).

Lighting

  • Standard lighting = atmospheric lighting (bulbs 40 W each)

    • 2 × 3 or 4 bulbs (depending on type) around the dance floor

    • 3 lamps above the bar

    • 2 bulbs in the entrance

  • We provide 4 × emergency lights

    • at emergency exit(s)

    • at the main exit

    • on both sides of the dance floor

Heating

  • If heating will be installed inside the Spiegeltent:

    • During assembly we can replace one side wall with one that contains an opening Ø +/- 60 cm to allow the hose of the hot-air generator to enter.

  • To avoid confusion: we rent Spiegeltenten only, no heating systems!

Hanging additional lighting, speakers, banners

  • If required, we can provide iron bars Ø 5 cm above the ‘mirror poles’ around the dance floor. These can hold speakers, theatre lighting, advertising signs, etc.

Attention

It is strictly forbidden to nail, screw, staple or cause any damage to the Spiegeltent.

If something must be attached such as electrical cables or advertising boards, this must be done using plastic tie wraps.

No duct tape or gaffer tape may be applied, as removal causes damage.

Any damage will incur additional charges.

The Spiegeltent must be returned in the same condition as delivered. Failing this, additional costs may apply.
