Harlem 8m stage
A medium structure and ideal for where structurally-sound weather-protected structures are required for events. This structure is the one that we use most commonly for a range of events. Available accessoires include PA wings, and extended truss rigs; which are ideal for giving the stage a larger appearance.

- Branded events
Optional Extras
Monitor Wing
The Harlem has the added option of the stage wings which can be on one or both sides of the stage and add 12' x 16' of extra covered deck space. This can be used for monitors, storage, band changeovers or for observation.
Video/PA Wing
You also have the option of Video/PA Wings. These come off of the front corners of the structure and provide rigging points for LED screens and make the stage look much bigger. If you wanted to use these as Video wings then we can use heavy duty truss with high load ratings.
PA Towers
Our PA Towers are made using Litec QX40 Truss. If you have a large audience area or want to focus your sound coverage to any area then you need your line array up high. Our PA towers go to 9 metres.

10m arched roof outdoor stage
Our Freemont outdoor stage is ideal for where structurally-sound weather-protected structures are required for events. We use this structure for larger festivals and where stage space is required for band changeovers etc. This structure also features a "self-climbing" roof, which means we can rig all equipment at ground level and then lift it.
This structure is ideal for:
- Band performances, easily fitting a 10-piece band with backline, drums etc
- Choir Performances
- Concerts
- Main stages for medium festivals and branded events
Optional Extras:
Stage Wing
At 7 metres deep the Freemont has the added option of the stage wings which can be on one or both sides of the stage and add 12' x 16' of extra covered deck space. This can be used for monitors, storage, band changeovers or just for observation.
Video Wings
You also have the option of Video/PA Wings. These come off of the front corners of the structure and provide rigging points for LED screens and make the stage look much bigger.
PA Tower
Our PA Towers are made using Litec QX40 Truss. If you have a large audience area or want to focus your sound coverage to any area then you need your line array up high. Our PA towers go to 9 metres.
Ramp
If you are going to be moving heavy equipment on and off of the stage then it may be a good idea to use a ramp. Our ramps can be tailored to your needs if you are tight on space or require a different setup. They also have a landing area and come with handrails and lip ramps so that cases can get up and down smoothly.
Truss System

Dimensions
- Width: 10m
- Depth: 8.5m
- Height to start of arch: 4.5m
Access Required
We will need truck access within 20 metres of the final stage location based on the ground being suitable for wheeling cases over.
Kentlage Required
We use IBC's as kentlage. These require a fire hydrant within 100 metres of the stage.
Approx. Build Time
The standard Freemont structure takes 1 day to build. If any additions are required it will take around 2 days.
Stage Drawing
12 metre stages
We find that a lot of clients are after 12m or wider stages. While we only go up to 10m, we are able to provide additonal wing-space for monitor positions, rolling risers etc. These on both sides could mean a 10m stage can be used for larger events with multiple changeovers etc.
Please call us to discuss your event so we can help design the perfect structure for you.
