Support for printed, layered, scenic and LED-integrated event backdrops from compact stages to major outdoor elevations.

What to measure

Provide exact equipment makes, models, dimensions, verified weights and positions, plus the required clear opening, trim height, service access, cable routes and support method.

Useful size references for this use case include 12 × 10 ft stage frame, 30 × 15 ft scenic wall, 50 × 25 ft outdoor backdrop, Larger custom elevation.

Who to coordinate

The responsible technical suppliers must agree interfaces and load information. A truss quotation should state where the structure scope ends and screen, lighting, sound, scenic, power or platform responsibility begins.

The event brief should cover printed stage walls, layered scenic sets, led-integrated backdrops before equipment is reserved.
