Now in its sixth year, In the Round Festival is renowned for its eclectic lineup and special, one-off gigs set around the building's circular stage. It was a pleasure to be back working with The Roundhouse team, to build three seating structures for the festival! Using a mix of our tiered and flat-floor seating systems up to 7'6" high, we installed 740 seats for spectators to enjoy the shows. The biggest challenge was working around the venue's original Victorian columns, but with the ability to adapt our kit to any space, it was a fun project for the design team to sink their teeth into!

I can't thank Steeldeck enough for their time and dedication to provide us with a temporary seating solution for our recent In the Round festival. Speed and comfort were a high priority for us and Steeldeck delivered. We have a tricky space both in shape and access but Richard and Neil worked tirelessly on the design to achieve something we were ultimately very happy with. Communication through was top notch and I can't fault the team on the ground. Professional, hard working and respectful of our heritage venue.

An example of our classic tiered seating stand with tip-up seats, this time at Comic Con in ExCel. Our tiered seating build uses a simple click-in system that is then screwed down onto the deck - a method that is super fast and safe. The stand is clad with black casement, creating a simple and elegant finish, and the perfect platform for our smart tip-up seats.

"We were truly impressed with your professionalism and the high standard at which these seats were installed. It fitted in extremely well with the existing seating and it was such a great pleasure to work with a team that is sensitive to the listed status of the building. Thank you for delivering an outstanding level of service!"    

An example of a tiered seating structure without tip-up seats: the 1'6" rise allows the audience to sit directly on the deck. There's a ramped disabled viewing platform with a bespoke 800mm guardrail at the front; these guardrails meet height requirements for safety regulations whilst allowing the audience an uninterrupted view. The structure is extensively braced underneath, making it incredibly strong and stable, and the structure has been finished with a hard fascia creating a clean and stylish look.
