- Stage Masking
To create a "black box" on stage or to mask the sides of the arena we have an amount of assorted general masking from 10m to 3m in dimension, POA.

To create hard masking we stock a number of flats in grey (10' high) or black (8' high). The combined costs of these are - grey £100 and black £60. An additional charge is made for recovering if a different colour is required.

In addition we stock a unique portable system which has been specifically designed to split the arena in two halves. The units of the system are 10' x 8' (11 units available) and come with two sets of integral doors. This system is highly flexible and can be used in many configurations. Details and costs are available upon request.

Staging
The standard Arena stage to be used in conjunction with largest possible floor space in the arena is 55' wide by 28' deep by 3' high. It is possible to extend the stage by adding extensions constructed of steel decking. The extensions are 4' deep and 55' wide, three such additional sections can be added to the front of the stage, thus making the maximum sized stage 3' high by 55' wide by 40' deep.

Alternatively the Arena can be set in our smaller concert format with an extended stage. This is popular with smaller shows and with conference events such as Rotary conferences. The stage is built to 3' high by 55' wide by 32' deep.

In total, 70 pieces of steel deck (8' x 4' pieces) are available. These are used to form stage extensions and to build other platforms/risers as required. The standard heights available are: 1', 2' and 3' - although others are possible.
