Tips for Choosing the Right Outdoor Stage Rental for Your Event  

As hundreds or thousands of attendees convene at your venue, all eyes are on one thing: the stage. So, your choice of mobile stage rental could make or break the entire production. We know how stressful that sounds, which is why we help companies and nonprofits find the right mobile stages for their events, no matter the scale. 

The key is finding the right stage and the right partner. One with the knowledge to find a creative solution that accounts for your audience size, weather conditions, and event themes while placing a premium on safety, ease of use, and, of course, your budget. 

Below, we outline what makes for great outdoor stages and how the Stageline SL100, SL260 and SL320 stack up in each of these categories.

Safety

Safety is not the most exciting aspect of our stage rentals, but it’s certainly the most important. We’ve all heard the stories of events canceled due to high winds or stages collapsing mid-performance. We use mobile stages constructed with solid aluminum for maximum safety. They provide a stable and durable platform that can withstand heavy loads and adverse weather conditions. Truss designs evenly distribute weight to reduce the risk of structural failure and enhance safety for both performers and attendees. Some stages incorporate features like custom safety netting, and all are tested rigorously.

How Stageline Models Perform

The smaller SL100 has wind resistance up to 115 MPH and can hold up to 11,400 pounds. The SL260 boasts the same wind resistance while boosting its weight capacity to 18,500 lbs. Even with its large size, the SL320 also allows for up to 115 mph winds. 

Easy Setup

The lightweight construction of our stages also facilitates setup and transportation while reducing the risk of accidents during assembly. The stage rentals we work with are easy to transport—sometimes tugged on a pickup truck—and have quick setup times. This reduces labor costs and allows for a more streamlined event setup. 

The Stageline’s modular systems allow for different configurations, making them suitable for many performance styles and venue sizes.  Though you still need to work with professional installers, stages usually feature sections that lock together easily to allow for quick assembly and disassembly. 

How Stageline Models Perform

The SL100 is a go-to for many small events because of its quick 30-minute setup time and its ability to be towed with a standard pickup truck at a dry weight of 9,460 lbs. With the help of two of our technicians, the SL260 will take about an hour to put together. The bigger 40’x40’ SL320 will require four people and take two and a half hours. 

Staging Features 

Our mobile stage rentals are for premier events, which means we’re providing more than a raised platform. Your stage might need many additional features to serve your event function. That’s why we work with stages from companies like Stageline, which include front overhanging lights, decks for sound wings, and side and back walls to control fog and haze. 

Customization Features

Events are all about branding. So, how can the stage be adjusted to match your brand? Banner ad supports let you incorporate more branding or advertising (think of all the sponsors on the side of stages at festivals like Warped Tour). Also, look for stages with lateral screen support, like the SL320, to promote your messaging or deliver visuals to those at the back of the crowd. 

Working with a Staging Rental Professional 

One thing we like to stress for those researching rentals is that you need to look for companies with comprehensive services that handle all logistics. These include:

They should also have experience working with the stages you have in mind. For example, our team has Stageline engineers with dedicated certification and training. We also have rigorous maintenance schedules and keep equipment up-to-date and in top shape before renting it out. 

We’re proud to have a hard-working team committed to coming up with creative solutions for our clients. Although we have the best equipment in the industry, our people make the difference. They truly care about making every event a success, which is why we not only help with stage rentals but also with lighting, video walls, and stage design.
