Setting up the Arc Truss Stage

Putting up a stage is hard work and requires a lot of care and attention to ensure it has been erected correctly and safely. 


With many things to consider, including ground variations, environmental factors and event site plans, putting up a stage is never straight forward. It requires a team of experienced and professional crew who can deal with all eventualities to ensure the structure, crew, audience and performers are all safe. 

Arc Truss Stage set up with lighting and safety barriers out the front.

We start with building the frame, from the top down. Then add the lights and the waterproof canopy.

The sides and back are added before the structure is hoisted up, ready to put the legs on it. The tethers are banged into the ground and the cables attached to the lighting.

Now the structure is up and stable, it’s time to add the decking in. This is separate to the roof structure and needs to be levelled out to ensure the whole surface is flat. 

Once this is done the safety railings go on the sides and the steps are added.

It’s a simple step by step set up but if not done correctly or in the right order it could add time to the installation and could jeopardise safety.
