WELCOME AND CONTENTS elcome to a brand new edition of the Stand Out Temporary

Structures Guide. As is the nature of our great events industry, many developments have been made in the way of temporary structures. For years, structures have been getting bigger and better, more technical and more elaborate; the teams behind their creation are pushing the boundaries of design, as organisers and live event agencies strive to deliver bigger and better experiences.

The Temporary Structures Guide 2017/18 focuses on bringing you best practice from across the events industry, whether it’s in the form of a multi-deck structure or brightly-coloured stretch tent in use at corporate party, a major sporting event or music festival. We’ve gathered the brightest minds from across temporary structures to impart their wisdom, and tell us what they’ve been working on recently,

their opinions, and top tips for readers.

This latest edition of the Temporary Structures Guide features an introduction from the Institution of Structural Engineers, and there’s information on how to write the perfect brief for your temporary structure company too. Furthermore, there’s best practice advice on how to choose a temporary structure for your event; we look at creative uses and case studies on page 11. Plus, discover a host of inspiring features from industry leaders, which have taken their time to share some pearls of wisdom with you.

Stand Out endeavours to bring our readers a useful guide to temporary structures that is not only free but also one that can be visited time and again throughout the events season. Please treat this guide as a resource you can pass around your office and share amongst colleagues. Don’t forget to take a look at our great contributors too, which are truly a treasure trove of great industry contacts. They are forward-thinking and informed, bringing fresh and innovative structures to the market, in which they are leaders.

Inflatable Event Structures Evolution Dome is the UK’s leading supplier of inflatable event structures.

Catering to a corporate market we specialise in providing structures for conferences, exhibitions, product launches and experiential marketing events.

We have worked with several high profile events and companies, including Silverstone for the F1 Grand Prix, Nuffield Health, Audi, and BT. Most recently, we installed nearly 3000sqm of structures, complete with flooring, carpet, air-conditioning and glass doors for a large BT conference, held in Ipswich. The whole installation process was carried out in 3 days, with hand over being smooth and ahead of schedule, allowing the production team to dress the inside of the structures.

Inflatable structures are innovative and contemporary in design, making them a focal point at any event. This combined with the large space they provide with no beams or truss required, means that structures can be installed quickly and easily, leaving the maximum amount of floor space for use. Due to fast install and de-rig times, crew and venue costs are kept to a minimum. Transport costs are also considerably lower as structures are compact and a lot lighter than marquees and other structures of a similar size.

The Evolution Dome range of structures is incredibly safe, with a wind rating of 55mph. They structures are fully waterproof, well insulated for sound and temperature and are manufactured in high quality, rip stop, fire retardant treated nylon and PVC. Lockable push bar doors can be installed into each structure, providing extra privacy and security for events.

Evolution Dome provides structures worldwide, with offices in Belgium and Australia. We have carrier out work in Switzerland previously, as well as France, Germany, UAE and India.

Marquee Roof Rollers are a great new

product designed to put on and remove your 3m roofs with ease. They are simply two stabilizing units that are placed and secured each side of your 3m bays.

Your roofs are rolled onto a roof beam. They are removed from your vehicle and placed onto the roof rollers so your roofs never need to touch the ground. They are then pulled over your frame as usual unrolling as they go. They really do make the job easier as they are not

blowing around in the wind and not getting dirty from the ground.

To recover your roofs they are simply rolled back onto the beams, removed from the roof rollers and put into storage rolled up. This can be carried out by one person efficiently saving you manpower and money.

Once you have used a set of Marquee Roof Rollers you’ll realise what a great investment they are, saving you time and money whilst looking after your roofs.
