There is never a better time for organisers of Christmas markets and winter festivals to start considering what type of temporary roadways and walkways they will be requiring. At TPA we recommend contacting us well ahead in the lead up to this busy period so we can help you to plan in advance and to ensure your event runs as smoothly as possible.
Include a temporary car park in your winter project
As well as pedestrian and vehicle access within your event, you might want to consider providing a temporary car park, a facility that could prove invaluable in winter where the weather can result in wet, boggy or even icy ground conditions A temporary or semi-permanent covering such as TPA’s Heavy Duty Aluminium Panels will protect the land, preventing unsightly damage that can be caused by a sudden influx of vehicles. Camber and Steerable Panels complement Heavy Duty Panels by helping to negotiate objects such as buildings and trees and provide extra traction on slopes and in difficult muddy or slippery conditions.
Heavy Duty and Lightweight plastic matting
Two terms that are not usually linked are ‘Heavy Duty’ and ‘Lightweight’, but with MaxiTrack from TPA that is exactly what the product delivers. Described as being the perfect fusion of weight and strength, MaxiTrack is the ideal choice for a short term winter event such as Christmas festival or market; it is light enough to be manually installed by 2 people, yet has the strength to withstand a 130t load. All our plastic mat products are quick to deploy, and equally fast to remove meaning the ground surface is returned to its former state very quickly. TPA also offers a ‘Dry Hire’ option allowing the customer more control over the overall process and represents a significant cost reduction while maintaining customer access to expert technical advice.

One product, two applications
Winter events that attract many people require different surfaces for vehicles and pedestrian access. Many of TPA’s temporary modular roadway panels are reversible, with a deeper tread on one side for vehicular use and a lighter pattern on the reverse more suited to pedestrians. This means the same product can be configured as required to suit different types of traffic. TPA stock a range of plastic products that would be well-suited to winter festivals and shows, including:
Don’t just take our word for it, here is what return client Beaulieu Enterprise had to say about our roadway supply to their events:
Beaulieu events manager Charlotte Mountain said: “We really like the staff who TPA send to do the set up and break-down. They know exactly what they are doing, and they are very good with us as well if we need additional panels or have to make tweaks to plans making it one less thing for us to worry about!”
