If you are planning an outdoor concert or another event on a stage, there are a few factors you need to consider if you want to optimize the occasion. Luckily, the pros at Audio Images Sound & Lighting in Batavia, NY, have worked with staging equipment for over 18 years. This experience has provided them with plenty of knowledge on how to choose the right stage for the event at hand.

Below are some of the considerations you should keep in mind when deciding on staging for your event:

  • Location: Since placing your stage indoors or outdoors will require different specifications, consider this aspect first. If you need outdoor staging, you might also want a roof and raised platform.
  • staging Space: After you have a set location, determine how much available space you will have for your event. This should include audience seating as well as performance space.
  • Size: The size of your setup will largely depend on the entertainment you plan to host on the stage. If you have a band or speaker that must be seen by the crowd, you might consider a wider stage. However, if you have an event with multiple bands, depth is more important—you need to accommodate their many instruments, sound systems, and lighting setups.
  • Roof: Outdoor staging requires roofing to protect performers against unpredictable weather conditions and handle additional weight. Opt for a load-bearing roof if you need to hang lighting, speakers, video equipment, and backdrops. Non-load-bearing roofs are fine if you are simply trying to protect performers against wind and rain.
