Leave Your Limitations Backstage.
We don’t believe in live show limitations, when your event exists to evoke special feelings in the audience, you need an event stage that supports this unique connection. Our project managers and production riggers work with you to learn about your show and your needs, to help make your live event spectacular.
Constructing your stage with only trusted stage deck brands, such as Steeldeck, StageRight, and our very own Uni-Dec provides the structural integrity to support the design capabilities. We’ve created circular stage options, raked stages, rough terrain solutions, and multi-tiered platforms that have been the canvas for countless remarkable shows.
We have over 50,000 square feet of stage decking from Steel Deck, Staging Dimensions, and our own, patented UNI-DEC.
We carry an assortment of brand, shape, & size stage decks. Standard decks come in 4x8, 4X6,4x4, 3X8, 3X4, 2x8, 2X4, 2X2. We also have 4ʹ triangular and custom round sections.
In addition, we carry a multitude of accessories to suit any situation or event design needs.
With our UNI-DEC you have even more customizability. UNI-DEC is made in-house and includes extrusion and Keder compatible features that make it work with an array of attachments and accessories. Because we make it in house we can customize both decks and attachments.
All our stage decks are suitable for indoor and outdoor applications. Use them for stages, ramps, loading docks, tiered risers, rolling band risers, fashion runways, camera and spot platforms, front-of-house mixers, scenic bases, set design, or platforms for lighting or LED walls.
The unique perimeter extrusion of Uni-Dec creates new capabilities for stage accessories that deliver versatility in both the range of accessories and on-the-spot adjustability.
Our design, manufacturing, and CNC fabrication experts will work with you to create the custom attachments and accessories you need to make your live event designs come to life.
Level up your event with risers. Whether for the audience or the stage, risers enhance the grandeur of your event.
We provide multi-level seating and stage riser construction, completely customizable to your stage, venue, and performance needs.
Multi-level seating risers allow your audience better visibility and a more enjoyable event experience. Staging risers are great for orchestras, choirs, and graduations. Utilize risers as part of your theatrical set design. Risers are a great place to hang sponsorship banners.
Risers utilizing our patented Uni-Dec stage decks allow you to combine even more elements, such as lights, LEDs, and customized fascias, to create unique designs that look great in person and on live TV.
Risers elevate your event, no matter what its type. Our project managers can help you design risers that meet all your event needs.

Protect stages and structures with water proof covers that utilize a Keder rail system. Keder systems are fast and easy to install and increase the efficiency of your load-in and load-out.

Ballast systems secure your ground-supported structures. This is especially important for outdoor stages that are subject to winds and offset structures like delay towers and video hangs.
There are different types of ballasts:
Concrete ballasts are large concrete blocks that can come with or without rebar anchor points. They are moved by forklift and are often anchored to a top rebar point using steel and ratchet straps.
Good for placing outside the stage footprint where, once placed, they will not need to be moved until loadout.
Water ballasts use the weight of water to hold down stage elements. They come in many varieties such as water totes and folding frame water. Once in place, fill them with water. Water must be drained of properly for loadout.
With each cubic foot of water weighing over 62lbs, water ballasts are good for when you need a lot of counterweight.
UNI-BLOC is our patented stage ballast designed specifically for the live-event industry. With fork and pallet jack pick points on all four sides, and the ability to attach truss to the sides and top, UNI-BLOC is made to work with and into your stage design.
It is also highly adjustable with a top-floating plate that allows for minute adjustments, even after truss is attached.
UNI-BLOC NOW COMES IN TWO SIZES!
