The problem is marquees are very poorly insulated and need a lot of heat. Small electric fan heaters cannot provide enough heat except in the smallest tents when the weather is fairly mild.
The difficulty with the direct fired diesel heaters is that they give off a lot of fumes, a lot of moisture and they present something of a fire risk - often invalidating insurance.
Thankfully there is a suitable solution for heating marquees which is both effective and efficient. What I'm referring to is the Indirect Fired Diesel Heater, often called a marquee heater.
These burn the fuel in a stainless steel combustion chamber and then blow air around the combustion chamber - meaning you get clean dry air inside the marquee. The insurers are happy as there is less of a fire risk, the guests will be happy as the humidity won't be through the roof, and they will be able to breath more easily without the massive amounts of carbon dioxide which are pumped into the marquee when direct heaters are working right... Or carbon monoxide if they are working badly.
These heaters are more expensive - but they are more sophisticated machines. The question isn't can you afford to switch to indirect diesel marquee heaters, but can you afford not to?
