The solution for organisations without a built-in stage

Many organisations including schools, village halls and community centres do not have the luxury of a permanent stage nor the space or funding to build one.  These types of premises need to be multi-functional and adaptable for many different purposes.  When choosing a stage you need to consider who will use the stage, available space for use and storage and will the staging system be strong and durable enough to withstand regular use.  If you intend to clear the stage away to make your space available for other activities, it should be light, portable and easy to assemble and disassemble, without the need for a troop of volunteers.

What parts do you have?

The Ultralight Staging system combines aluminium risers that concertina out in a similar manner to a pop up tent, with stage decks that are attached to create your performance surface.  The stage decks and risers are supplied in a choice of sizes and are designed to fit together to create platforms, tiers and steps with a great choice of options and safety features. It is a really simple product to assemble and a whole stage can be easily set up by one person although we do recommend a two person operation when assembling our 2m x 1m decks and risers. The deck is securely attached to the riser by Allen Key fixings at each corner and multiple decks and risers can then be linked to create the desired surface area through our cleverly designed cleat system.

How do you put it together?

People Required: 1 Person; although we do recommend a two person operation when putting together our 2m x 1m decks and risers.

Time Needed: 5 minutes

• The risers are folded for storage; to open for use, simply release the riser
• Place the deck on top of the riser and tighten using the Allen key provided, or by twisting the riser tube on each corner
• Repeat until you have your desired stage-size and place the decks and risers together
• Join the stage decks and risers together using the locking cleats located on the side of the stage deck. Ensure that the locking cleats are in the correct position before you start to secure your staging
• If you are using the Ultralight Valance, simply add them to the edge of the stage
  Anti-slip plugs can be added to each riser bottom block to prevent the stage from slipping on uneven floors
• If you are using your stage outdoors or on an uneven surface, the Ultralight Riser Levellers ensure that the stage is securely levelled
