🛠 4. How to Secure Your Booth Setup Outdoors

To keep your booth stable at ANY outdoor event:

• Secure all tripod legs with weights

• Use double sandbags on backdrop frames

• Pack extra clamps—fall winds require them

• Keep cords covered with outdoor-safe cable protectors

---

💧 5. Protecting Electronics From Moisture & Dew

As soon as the sun sets, dew forms quickly, especially at:

• Football fields

• Fairgrounds

• Outdoor wedding venues

• Parks

• School courtyards

Tips:

• Keep gear elevated

• Use a waterproof tablecloth

• Store electronics in sealed cases when not in use

• Place silica packets inside your booth casing

---

❄️ 6. Keeping Your Printer Stable in Cold Weather

Cold temps can cause:

• Paper jams

• Color inconsistencies

• Slower printing

Solutions:

• Use a thermal printer cover

• Let the printer acclimate for 10–15 minutes

• Keep a small hand warmer (non-flammable) in the printer tent

• Store paper inside a dry bag until needed

---

🍃 7. Wind-Proofing Backdrops & Props

Fall breezes can be brutal.
Prevent disasters by:

• Using double sandbags

• Clamping fabric backdrops tightly

• Choosing non-lightweight props

• Storing props in latching containers

• Using heavy-duty frames for high-attendance events (students, festival crowds, etc.)

---

🏫 8. Safety Tips for School Events, Festivals & High-Activity Outdoor Gatherings

School events and festivals mean high traffic and lots of movement.

Keep your booth safe by:

• Using cable covers to prevent student tripping

• Securing props so they can’t blow or be knocked over

• Keeping electronics behind a barrier or table

• Stabilizing the booth for dancing crowds & energetic students

Perfect for:
✔ Homecoming outdoor photos
✔ School tailgates
✔ Pep rallies
✔ Football games
✔ Outdoor fall dances

🔌 9. Power Management at Outdoor Events

Outdoor events often lack stable power. Prepare by:

• Bringing two extension cords

• Using GFCI-protected power strips

• Packing a portable power station

• Testing outlets early

• Using weather-safe cord covers
