STAGING

When All Eyes Point To The Stage, Make Sure It’s United.

UNI-QUE STAGE SOLUTIONS

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 event stage design experts work with you, learn about your show and its needs, and provide recommendations and possibilities for you to make an informed decision on your custom-built stage.

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.

UNI-DEC

We offer stage decks in 4x8, 4X6,4x4, 3X8, 3X4, 2x8,  2X4, 2X2 and 4ʹ triangular, and custom round sections.

Additional options include rolling stages for both indoor and outdoor applications. We can customize staging to suit nearly any situation, including tiered stages for seating risers, and choral risers. Staging applications include concert stages, drum risers, mix positions, choral risers, fashion runways, AV platforms, and camera support. We have a wide assortment of accessories including staircases, skirting, handrail, chair rail, and ADA-compliant access ramps.

UNI-DEC ACCESSORIES

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.

With an in-house design and manufacturing team, you can capitalize on the capabilities of Uni-Dec with our designers equipped to fulfill your custom stage and accessory solutions.

AUDIENCE SEATING RISERS

Elevate your audience’s experience through a seating riser configuration that enhances vision, sound, and feeling.

We provide multi-level seating riser construction, completely customizable to your stage, performance, and venue needs.

Multi-level seating risers allow your audience to have visibility and an enjoyable experience for extended times wherever they’re located, which makes them excellent for auditoriums, church choirs, concert bands, musical theater, and graduations.

Though, their tidy appearance makes them equally suited to more formal events, like sporting awards, dinner parties, corporate events, and parades.

Leveraging the strength of our trusted Uni-Dec stage decks – your audience is in the safest hands.

Engineered Outdoor System

Bigger and better often means greater complexity and greater liability. There is enough risk and legality for you to worry about while making events. Put your mind and attorneys at ease when you rely on United Staging for your impressive outdoor structures. Our load-bearing structures undergo rigorous review by Licensed Engineering Firmsvthat are entertainment engineering experts licensed in all 50 states. Only approved designs are installed. Installs are supervised by a United Staging qualified person. Add Weather Monitoring for extra assurance for your insurance.

Weather Monitoring

Inclement weather poses serious risk to structures, installers, show technicians, and crowds. For prolonged or ongoing occupancy of an outdoor structure, rent from our collection of digital anemometers and Davis Vantage Vue Wireless Weather Stations. As an additional service, we can develop the High Wind Action Plan for your outdoor structure and supplement it with accurate weather monitoring and prediction through WeatherOps® Live Event Services. Don’t become a headline.

KEDER ROOF SYSTEMS

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. Our Keder system rentals are a great option for displaying sponsorship signs and banners anywhere along our roof structure.

UNI-KEDER by United Staging

Increase the modularity of your design with versatile UNI-KEDER, our clever double-strut channel extrusions with Keder track slots along each corner. We combine the best of both worlds to create Keder-Strut compatible structures. UNI-KEDER is capable of horizontal and vertical orientation for use as a beam, support pillar, or partition column.

BALLAST SOLUTIONS

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!

SCAFFOLDING STRUCTURES

Ringlock scaffolding is the best choice for outdoor concert stage systems, including front of house structures, console booths, and spotlight towers.

This scaffolding system puts your AV technicians and stage managers above the crowd and in control, even on rugged terrain. Add wind shields or a roof cover to prepare for inclement weather and protect your personnel and equipment.

When used in conjunction with a transom system, we can easily add stage decks to create any type of elevated and multi-level platforms for camera jibs, strategically positioned lighting equipment, and more.

CONCERT CROWD CONTROL BARRICADES

Portable crowd control barricades go hand-in-glove with fairgrounds, festivals, outdoor events, and ticketing booths, where your audience needs guidance to navigate the space without chaos and danger.

To accommodate the different safety needs, we have various event barricade rental products that keep your audience a safe distance from the stage, sectioned-off prohibited areas, and control pedestrian traffic through the appropriate paths.

Event barricade brands in our inventory include Staging Concepts, StageRight, and bike rack barricades. The interlocking capabilities of each event barricade system allow you to create your own traffic flow in any configuration to make large spaces easily manageable.
