If this is your first time hiring an outdoor stage or even if you’re a seasoned professional, it’s good to recap what’s important when considering which outdoor stage to hire. It doesn’t hurt to re-evaluate to make sure that the product you currently use is still the product you need.

Let’s dive into your guide to outdoor staging.

Performer requirements

Who you have performing during the event will impact the size of the stage. If you have mainly small acts, solo or duo’s performing your stage will need to be much smaller than if you have full bands, dance groups and drum circles. Do any of your performers have access requirements? Do they need a ramp or steps? What sort of equipment and instruments need to be on stage? To get the best idea of this, ask your performers what their requirements are and then speak to us to discuss what we suggest.

Time constraints

Event timings are important to know how much time you have pre-event and post event to set up and take down. Whilst most of our stages can be set quickly, it can sometimes take a day or two to set up the larger ones and we will need access to the site to do so. Our trailer stages can be set up on event days depending on timings, so it’s important to know when you will have access to the site and for how long for. This can also affect pricing depending on what your requirements are. 

Hire Costs

At Koncept we believe in a customisable approach, where no one package fits all. That means you get the products you need at the right price. All of the above can affect the price but the main reason for increased price is distance to the event site and build/derig times. The longer our crew are on site the more it will cost. It’s something to consider if your budget is tight and cost is a factor.
