Indoors or outdoors: what changes with wind and weather
Most modules can be set up indoors as well as outdoors. What differs are the conditions: outdoors adds ground, anchoring and weather, indoors adds clearance height, access and fire regulations.
Ground and anchoring
Inflatable modules and anything with height have to be anchored. On grass that works with pegs; on asphalt or indoors only with ballast — which has to be brought, provided or organised on site. Settle the ground surface early; it also determines build time and transport.
Wind
Modules with a large surface have wind limits beyond which operation stops. That is not a matter of judgement and is decided on the day — by the team on site, not in advance. For wind-exposed areas, plan an alternative area or a replacement module.
Rain
Rain itself rules out few modules; wet surfaces do rule out some. A marquee over the station is the simplest answer and can be planned in from the start.
The one decision to take in advance
Whether there is a bad-weather option — and if so, which area it uses. Settle that beforehand and the morning holds one decision instead of a whole plan.
