Product Description
A modular folding stage section measuring 5ft x 5ft (1.52m x 1.52m) at 305mm (1ft) height. Link multiple sections together to build any stage size your event requires — two sections for a 10ft x 5ft platform, four for a 10ft x 10ft, or any combination that fits your space. The 18mm birch plywood deck is finished in black, sitting on a grey powder-coated aluminium frame that folds down to 5 inches for transport.
What Stage Sizes Can You Build?
Each section adds 1.52m x 1.52m to the platform area. Common configurations:
- 1 section (5ft x 5ft / 1.52m x 1.52m): A DJ riser, a single speaker podium, or a small top table riser at a wedding breakfast.
- 2 sections (10ft x 5ft / 3m x 1.52m): A double-wide podium for a panel of two speakers, or a DJ and equipment setup at a party.
- 4 sections (10ft x 10ft / 3m x 3m): A small performance stage for a band, dance troupe, or school presentation.
- 6+ sections: A full conference or awards ceremony stage with space for a speaker, podium, and backdrop.
Also available as an 8ft x 4ft section for different platform configurations.
Events That Use Hire Staging
- Corporate conferences and awards ceremonies: A raised stage creates a clear focal point for keynote speakers and award presentations. At a flat-floor venue, even 305mm of height provides visibility across a 200-person room.
- Weddings and civil ceremonies: A top table riser elevates the head table so guests throughout the room can see the couple and wedding party. Pairs with linen hire and table hire.
- Live performances and school productions: A modular stage for bands, dance groups, drama productions, and school events where the venue has no permanent stage.
- Outdoor events and marquees: Temporary staging in marquees and outdoor venues for speeches, presentations, and entertainment. The folded profile fits through standard marquee access points.
Setup
Unfold the aluminium frame and lock it open. The birch plywood deck locks to the frame via the locking blocks on the underside — no tools required. Adjacent sections connect with locating pins to prevent movement. The 305mm height requires no steps for most adults. For larger stage configurations with more sections, use a step unit for access at the edges.
