Why choose our tiered seating

For all tiered seating projects we make a site visit where we can thoroughly assess any limitations and constraints. During this visit, we’ll discuss the nature of your event to determine the best sight lines that work with the space, performance, and audience experience.

Our extensive range of tier increments and the adaptability of our deck mean that we can deliver highly customised solutions tailored to your specific needs.

  • A 7” (approx. 180mm) rise keeps the seating block low to the ground whilst still providing adequate sight lines, while our floor bar system allows seats to extend out at the base of the structure.
  • A 12” (approx. 300mm) rise is great for rooms with a bit more ceiling height, as it keeps the seating block more compact, as well as giving great sight lines. Where ceiling height is not an issue, we can even go to an 18” (460mm approx.) rise which creates perfect sight lines.
  • We use wooden treads for stairs up the structure, with bracing underneath to keep them solid.
Tiered theatre seating
We constructed three seating blocks at De Montfort University in Leicester for their graduation ceremony, providing over 500 seats in total. The tiers were arranged in 1-foot increments to ensure excellent sightlines, complemented by a row of our floor seats at the front. The structure featured a balustrade guardrail for public access, finished in sleek black casement.
We supplied a large seating block for the M&S Bank Arena in Liverpool. The tiers are spaced at 6-inch increments, ensuring smooth transitions between rows without the need for additional steps. The structure is elegantly finished with a wraparound of black casement.
Hired to supply and install a small tiered upholstered seating block for Sky UK at Sky 2 Studio in Middlesex, specifically for their TV broadcast news programme 'Battle for No.10'.
We are often hired to build tiered structures for clients who prefer to supply their own seating, as was the case at Battersea Arts Centre. For this project, we built 14 tiers at 1-foot increments and included wooden box treads for easy access between rows.
We supplied tiered seating for the Rainbow Six BLAST R6 Major Manchester 2024 eSports competition at Bowlers Exhibition Centre. The 34 metre wide seating accommodated 840 seats across 15 rows. With a 7-inch rise between rows, we included a custom-built central handrail for safety and comfort. The exterior of the structure was finished with black Molton fabric. Additionally, exit staircases were strategically constructed at the rear of the structure to ensure safe egress in the event of an emergency.
