Stage rental from PM1 is the stage, the drawing, the crew, and the engineering, delivered as one service. Concert stages, mobile stages, risers, and runways, designed to your show and your site, then built and struck by PM1 crew. Detroit, DC, Orlando, and worldwide when called.


Every PM1 stage rental includes the drawing, the delivery, the build, and the strike. The stage shows up designed to the sightlines, the camera plot, and the ground it stands on, not to whatever was on the truck.

The stage is rarely the only thing on the truck. PM1 draws the press risers, audience seating, barricade, and ground cover on the same layout, and can run the audio, lighting, and video on top of it. One layout. One load-in. One crew.
See the full build listPM1 builds eight kinds of event stages. Each one is sized and configured to the show, the venue, and the shot, not pulled from a catalog.
Deck stages and mobile stages sized to the backline, the talent, and the crowd. Thrusts, wings, loading docks, and the FOH position drawn with the stage.
Stageline mobile stages from the SL75 to the SAM750, with a roof, wings, and a rigging plot, plus Apex mobile stages in select markets. Deployed from Detroit and Orlando as part of full production.
Deck stages from standard 4' x 8' StageRight decks, any size in four-foot steps, indoors or out, with stairs, rails, and skirting.
Stages on grass, sand, asphalt, or a grade, leveled to the ground under them, with a roof sized to the rig and the wind and modular ground cover where the site needs it.
Round stages, curves, wedges, and custom shapes for theater in the round, product reveals, and award shows.
Fashion runways indoors, outdoors, on uneven terrain, or over a pool, lit and wrapped to the show.
Reveal and display stages built to carry the vehicle, with ramps for drive-on access. Drawn to the car's weight and wheelbase, not guessed.
Rolling drum risers in 8' x 8' and 8' x 12', choir and DJ risers, press risers, and tiered audience risers that raise the room when the back rows sit too far from the stage.
Every photo here is a PM1 stage, from arena floors and ballrooms to the National Mall. No stock photos.

Every PM1 job runs the same five steps. One crew carries it from the first site walk to load-out.
Four questions start every job: what you're building, where it lands, scale and timeline, and what's already in motion. Scope and budget get defined before anything else does.
A site walk, then a CAD layout drawn to scale. Stage, seating, structures, cameras, power, and access on one drawing, coordinated with the venue and stamped by licensed engineers where the job requires.
The advance. Permitting, logistics, crew calls, and a load-in schedule every crew can use. This is where the show gets won.
Load-in to load-out, led on site by a PM1 production manager or structural site lead. One show caller. One show file. Doors open when every check is signed off.
A debrief and a financial review that closes the job. What worked, what could be tighter, and what the site taught us.

Stage rental at PM1 covers the design, delivery, build, and strike of the stage, priced by the build. These are the questions planners ask before they book.

Two bids for the same stage. One is cheaper. This short field guide covers what the catalog price leaves out, and the questions to ask before you sign.

A site address, the scope of what you'd like PM1 to deliver, and a rough count of attendees are enough to start a drawing and an estimate.
Stage builds start at a $10K minimum investment.
