When and How Should an Underground Locate Be Done for Your Outdoor Wedding?
At Tentation Rentals, we understand that planning an outdoor wedding comes with many moving parts, and ensuring a safe tent setup is one of the most important. If your wedding involves tent installation on grass, farmland, or even a backyard, scheduling an underground line locate is a crucial step you can’t afford to overlook.
Many regions offer free services like "Click Before You Dig," but for private venues, additional services may be required to identify all underground utilities, including irrigation and private electrical lines. Failing to secure a locate in time can lead to costly delays or even safety hazards. That’s why we always recommend submitting a line locate request at least 14 days in advance—utility companies do not accommodate last-minute requests.
How We Ensure a Safe and Beautiful Wedding Setup
At Tentation Rentals, we take every precaution to make sure your wedding setup is seamless and stress-free. Here’s how we handle underground locates:
We Take Care of the Locate for You – We confirm and coordinate all necessary underground line locates before installation begins.
Marking Safe Areas for Tent Setup – Our team ensures that stakes and anchoring equipment avoid any marked utilities.
Offering Alternative Anchoring Methods – If underground utilities limit staking, we provide weighted ballasts or other above-ground anchoring solutions.
Communicating with Utility Providers – We work directly with utility companies to ensure all necessary locates are completed before setup.
Coordinating with Your Wedding Vendors – We make sure your wedding planner, setup crew, and other vendors understand and respect the marked areas to prevent any mishaps.
