Hanging Things Is a Specialist Job
A heavy screen overhead is a risk to everyone below it. Venues have strict rules about what can be attached to ceilings, walls and structures, and the work is normally done by qualified people.
Questions to Ask Early
Answers affect both the design and the budget, so ask before the concept is fixed. Our stand and installation designs always allow for these checks.
- What can the venue structure carry — and who confirms it
- Who is approved to rig — and what documents they need
- What is the weight — including cables, frames and fixings
- What is the access plan — lifts, ladders and working at height
- What are the inspection requirements — before and during the event

Consider Ground-Supported Options
Floor-standing frames and trusses can avoid overhead rigging entirely. They may suit smaller stands, lighter screens or venues with tight restrictions.
