    General Information

    Here you will find everything you need to know before you book your Community Event Equipment!

    Barbecues

    • Check out our brand new Barbecue Operating and Cleaning video.
    • Each barbecue must be scraped, and wiped clean and dried before being returning to ATCO.

    Pro tip: Line drip tray with aluminum foil for an easier cleanup.

    Canopies
    Each canopy must be secured to the ground after being erected. If event is longer than one day, each canopy must be taken down and re-setup for the following day.  

    • Grass – every leg must be staked into the ground.  
    • Asphalt/Concrete – every leg must have at least one sandbag.  

    It is recommended there be at least two people to set up canopies. 

    Canopy top and canopy legs must be wiped clean and dry before being packed up into its bag.

    Note: No food is to be cooked directly under the canopies 

    Damages
    The user will be financially responsible for any damages incurred while the equipment is in the organizations care and will reimburse ATCO for all repair costs. Read our Terms and Conditions.

  • Provide own straps, rope or equivalent to properly tie down equipment and ensure safe transportation.
  • The equipment must be brought back in the same or better condition than was lent out. 


    • As safety is our number one priority, we require that all individuals and groups picking up and dropping off equipment must wear the necessary personal protective equipment (PPE) in order to safely handle equipment.

    Transportation of Soundstages

    ATCO staff will deliver the soundstage to and from events on a trailer unit, set up, dismantle and return the soundstage back to ATCO for storage and maintenance. The soundstage must have a clear path along a roadway for it to reach its site-specific destination. This unit cannot jump curbs or go over even slightly uneven ground. Please check the dimensions of the unit before booking.
