  • Q Can I use the stage outdoors?

    A Yes.

    Most aluminum stage systems are suitable for both indoor and outdoor applications.

    Aluminum structures offer:

    Corrosion resistance
    Lightweight construction
    Easy transportation
    Repeated assembly and dismantling


    For outdoor use, the following factors should be considered:

    Stage dimensions
    Height
    Ground conditions
    Weather conditions
    Wind loads
    Additional ballast or anchoring requirements


    For large outdoor events, additional accessories such as:

    Guardrails
    Stairs
    Ramps
    Roof systems
    Ballast systems


    may be recommended to improve safety and stability.

    If your event is located in areas with strong winds or uneven ground, please provide the project details so that we can recommend the most suitable stage system.
  • Q Can stage decks be replaced?

    A Yes.

    Stage decks are designed as modular components and can be replaced individually if necessary.

    Replacement deck options include:

    Plywood decks
    Tempered glass decks
    Acrylic decks
    Aluminum decks


    If you already have an existing stage system, please provide:

    Deck dimensions
    Frame dimensions
    Photos of the existing stage
    Brand or model information (if available)


    Since different manufacturers may use different specifications, compatibility should be confirmed before production.

    Replacing only the damaged decks is often more economical than replacing the entire stage system.
  • Q Can I add stairs and guardrails?

    A Yes.

    Various accessories can be added to improve safety and convenience, including:

    Stairs
    Single-step stairs
    Multi-step stairs
    Adjustable stairs

    Guardrails
    Side guardrails
    Rear guardrails
    Detachable safety rails

    Other Accessories
    Ramps
    Skirting
    Wheels
    Handrails
    Connecting clamps

    The size and quantity of accessories depend on the stage dimensions, height, and intended application.

    For stages higher than 1 meter, guardrails are generally recommended to improve safety.
  • Q Why do similar stages have different prices?

    A Although many stage systems may look similar, their prices can vary significantly due to differences in materials, manufacturing methods, and specifications.

    Material Quality

    Different aluminum alloys, deck materials, tube thicknesses, and component specifications can greatly affect the cost.

    For example, 6061-T6 and 6082-T6 aluminum alloys have different raw material costs and mechanical properties.

    Manufacturing Techniques

    Different production methods require different amounts of labor, equipment, and processing time.

    Some structures use:

    Fully welded frames
    Extruded components
    Reinforced joints
    Steel and aluminum hybrid connections


    These differences influence the final price.

    Structural Specifications

    Products with similar appearances may have very different:

    Load capacities
    Tube thicknesses
    Safety factors
    Connection designs
    Service life


    Therefore, similar appearance does not always mean identical specifications or quality.

    Price comparisons should consider not only appearance, but also the materials, structural design, and intended application.
  • Q Can stage systems be customized?

    A Yes. Stage systems can be customized according to the project requirements.

    Customization options may include:

    Dimensions
    Width
    Length
    Height

    Deck Materials
    Plywood
    Tempered glass
    Acrylic
    Aluminum

    Pool stages
    Special event structures

    Custom structures are widely used for concerts, weddings, churches, hotels, exhibitions, and outdoor events.
  • Q How much weight can the stage support?

    A The load capacity depends on the stage type, support structure, deck size, and intended application.

    Our standard aluminum stages are typically designed for loads of approximately 750 kg/m², while heavy-duty systems can support higher loads.

    Different applications may require different support structures. For example:

    Concert stages
    Choir risers
    Camera platforms
    Catwalks
    Outdoor stages


    If your project involves heavy equipment or special loading requirements, please provide:

    Stage size
    Height
    Intended use


    so that we can recommend the appropriate stage system.
  • Q what is stage handrail brace and pillar and how it works

    A

    Stage handrails, also called guardrails, are safety components installed around the stage platform. Their main purpose is to protect people on the stage from accidentally falling.

    The guardrail system consists of:
    Handrails (Guardrails) – provide protection around the stage.
    Guardrail Pillars – support the handrails.
    Handrail Braces – connect the handrails to the stage and improve stability.

    Handrail braces are removable components. For low stages, they are usually not necessary. For higher stages, guardrails are recommended to improve safety.
    Please refer to the following drawing for the installation details.

  • Q Why are stage decks commonly 4 ft × 8 ft (1.22 × 2.44 m)?

    A

    The 4 ft × 8 ft (1.22 × 2.44 m) stage deck has become one of the most popular sizes in the event industry mainly for two reasons:

    Compatibility with 4 ft × 4 ft Decks

    The 4 ft × 8 ft deck works perfectly with the standard 4 ft × 4 ft (1.22 × 1.22 m) deck.

    By combining these two sizes, users can create a wide variety of stage layouts while maintaining a modular design. This makes transportation, installation, and future expansion much easier.

    For example, the same deck modules can be used to build:
    Concert stages
    Choir risers
    Camera platforms
    Catwalks
    Temporary platforms

    Better Material Utilization and Lower Cost

    Another important reason is cost efficiency.

    Standard plywood sheets are commonly manufactured in 4 ft × 8 ft dimensions. By using the same size for stage decks, manufacturers can:
    Reduce material waste;
    Simplify production;
    Improve manufacturing efficiency;
    Lower production costs.

    As a result, the 4 ft × 8 ft deck has become one of the most economical and widely accepted sizes in the industry.
