1. Overall Structural Configuration
Structural Zone | Configuration |
|---|
Nominal roof size | 10 × 8m |
Nominal overall height | 8m |
Primary roof beams | CS389 × 389mm aluminum truss |
Primary beam main tube | 50 × 3.0mm |
Roof / tower columns | CS289 × 289mm aluminum truss |
Column main tube | 50 × 3.0mm |
Secondary roof members | CS30 / CL30 |
Main stage system | Steel Ringlock modular platform |
Stage deck | 1 × 2m aluminum-framed deck |
Deck surface | 18mm anti-slip plywood |
Side structures | Two Ringlock wings |
Side-wing height | Up to approximately 8m in this configuration |
Roof covering | PVC canopy |
Packing weight | 10,400kg |
Packing volume | 44m³ |
The complete structure is therefore larger in functional scope than the nominal 10 × 8m roof footprint.
The source configuration contains 52 pieces of 1 × 2m stage deck, equivalent to approximately 104m² of deck area. Since a 10 × 8m roof covers approximately 80m², the deck quantity indicates that the platform extends beyond the basic covered roof zone, consistent with the original description of an all-round stage / floor arrangement.
2. Aluminum Main Roof Structure
The aluminum roof creates the principal covered area above the stage.
Its main structural hierarchy is:
CS389 × 389 Primary Beam
→ CS289 × 289 Tower / Roof Members
→ CS30 / CL30 Secondary Roof Members
→ PVC Roof Canopy
This division is important because not every aluminum member performs the same function.
Primary Roof Beams
The main beam system uses CS389 × 389mm aluminum square truss with 50 × 3.0mm main tubes.
Component | Length | Size | Quantity |
Beam | 3m | CS389 × 389mm | 8 pcs |
Beam | 2m | CS389 × 389mm | 6 pcs |
These members create the main horizontal roof framework.
The original table also contains 1m and 0.5m beam options, but no confirmed quantities are listed for those lengths, so they should not be included as confirmed BOQ quantities for this configuration.
3. Aluminum Tower System
The roof structure is elevated through four aluminum tower positions.
The principal tower columns use CS289 × 289mm truss with 50 × 3.0mm main tubes.
Component | Specification | Quantity |
Tower pillar | CS289 × 289mm × 3m | 4 pcs |
Tower pillar | CS289 × 289mm × 2m | 8 pcs |
Spigot sleeve block | S type | 4 pcs |
Steel base | 2 × 0.5m, positioned on scaffolding | 4 pcs |
Steel brace | L:2m × H:0.5m | 8 pcs |
Beam support bracket | — | 4 pcs |
Top section | S type | 4 pcs |
Manual hoist | 2 ton, 8m | 4 pcs |
Spigot hinge section | CS30 + C44, H:1m | 4 pcs |
Fibre sling | 2 ton × 3m | 4 pcs |
One unusual feature of this configuration is that the aluminum roof towers are not treated as an isolated ground-supported truss system.
The original BOQ specifically identifies 2 × 0.5m steel bases positioned on the scaffolding, showing that the aluminum roof and steel modular structure are physically coordinated within the complete system.
This interface is one of the reasons the configuration belongs in the DragonStructure Hybrid Structure category rather than being treated simply as a standard aluminum roof.
4. Secondary Roof Framework
Above the primary structure, smaller aluminum members establish the roof shape and canopy-support geometry.
Component | Specification | Quantity |
Roof pillar | CS30, 289 × 289mm × 1m | 2 pcs |
Top beam | CS30, 289 × 289mm × 8m | 1 pc |
Oblique beam | CS30, 289 × 289mm × 5.2m | 4 pcs |
Ladder truss | CL30, 289 × 50mm × 5.2m | 6 pcs |
4-way roof corner | Match CS30 top/oblique beams | 2 pcs |
Connection plate with clamp | — | 2 pcs |
Single clamp | — | 12 pcs |
Double clamp | — | 8 pcs |
PVC roof canopy | 131.04m², blue or customized | 1 set |
Truss accessories | Couplers, pins and safety clips | Whole set |
This gives the roof a clear primary-secondary hierarchy rather than requiring the large CS389 beam system to create every part of the roof geometry.
Below the aluminum roof is a modular Stage Platform Structure built from Ringlock components and aluminum-framed stage decks.
The original BOQ includes 52 pieces of 1 × 2m decks, giving approximately 104m² of working surface.
Component | Specification | Quantity |
Aluminum stage deck | 1 × 2m, 18mm anti-slip plywood | 52 pcs |
Rubber corner / cut aluminum frame | — | 21 pcs |
Ringlock standard | LR1, L:2000mm | 39 pcs |
Ringlock ledger | LR2, L:2000mm | 95 pcs |
Ringlock ledger | LR2, L:1000mm | 5 pcs |
Diagonal brace | LR3, 1500 × 2000mm | 63 pcs |
Aluminum beam clamp | 2m | 31 pcs |
Aluminum beam clamp | 1m | 5 pcs |
Adjustable stage base | — | 39 pcs |
Functionally, the floor system follows a different structural path from the aluminum roof:
Stage Deck
→ Aluminum Deck Support
→ Ringlock Horizontal Grid
→ Ringlock Standards
→ Adjustable Bases
→ Ground
The roof and stage therefore belong to the same event structure, but they do not perform the same structural task.
6. Stage Access and Edge Protection
The floor configuration also includes dedicated stage access and edge components.
Component | Specification | Quantity |
Aluminum stage stair | 2m wide, 18mm anti-slip plywood, 10 steps | 1 pc |
Stair handrail | US model, H:1m | 2 pcs |
Right-side handrail | H:1m × L:4m | 1 pc |
Backstage standard | LR1, L:1000mm | 5 pcs |
Backstage ledger | LR2, L:2000mm | 10 pcs |
Backstage ledger | LR2, L:1000mm | 2 pcs |
These components show that the floor should not be understood merely as a flat deck.
The configuration also addresses:
**platform level
access
edge separation
backstage circulation**
as part of the complete temporary stage.
7. Two Ringlock Side Wings
The most distinctive part of this system is the pair of Ringlock structures positioned on the left and right sides of the main stage.
The source product states that these scaffolding wings can reach approximately 8m high in this configuration.
They use a much denser Ringlock framework than the stage platform itself.
Left & Right Ringlock Wing BOQ
Component | Specification | Quantity |
Ledger | LR2, L:2000mm | 238 pcs |
Standard | LR1, L:2000mm | 112 pcs |
Base standard | 265mm | 30 pcs |
Diagonal brace | LR3, 1500 × 2000mm | 185 pcs |
Adjustable jack base | LR4, H:600mm | 30 pcs |
Steel platform | 2000 × 300mm | 36 pcs |
Water tank | Listed as 1000ML in source BOQ | 6 pcs |
Steel roof with canopy | 2 × 2.5m | 2 pcs |
The large number of standards, ledgers and braces demonstrates that these are not simply decorative side frames.
Structurally, they form independent three-dimensional Ringlock zones beside the central stage.
They can be understood as production-support wings whose final use may be adapted according to the event requirement.
For DragonStructure, the important point is the structural role, not automatically assigning an equipment load that has not been confirmed.
8. Why Use Aluminum Above and Ringlock Below?
The core configuration logic is functional division.
Aluminum Roof
Aluminum truss is used where the project needs:
Ringlock is used where the project needs:
a dense modular support grid;
an elevated floor;
repeatable 1m / 2m structural bays;
integrated stairs and edge protection.
Ringlock Side Wings
The Ringlock wings are used where the project requires:
additional vertical structural zones;
elevated working platforms;
modular height;
dense horizontal and diagonal bracing;
integration with the main event structure.
The system therefore follows:
Aluminum for overhead span
+
Ringlock for platform and vertical modular support
This is the practical meaning of a Ringlock + Aluminum Structure.
9. How the Complete Structure Works
The structure is easier to understand if divided into three structural paths.
Roof Path
PVC Canopy
→ Secondary Roof Truss
→ CS389 Primary Beams
→ Aluminum Towers
→ Steel / Structural Interface
→ Supporting Base System
Stage Path
Stage Deck
→ Aluminum Deck Beams / Clamps
→ Ringlock Ledgers
→ Ringlock Standards
→ Adjustable Bases
→ Ground
Side-Wing Path
Production / Working Zone
→ Steel Platforms / Ringlock Grid
→ Ledgers + Standards + Diagonal Bracing
→ Adjustable Bases
→ Ground / Stabilization Arrangement
These systems meet within one event layout, but they should not be treated as one continuous load path without project-specific verification.
10. Why the Side Wings Matter
If only the roof and stage platform were considered, this would be a relatively conventional hybrid stage.
The two Ringlock wings change the character of the structure.
They create additional vertical production zones alongside the main performance area.
That means the project can organize the event in three parts:
Left Production Wing
←
Main Covered Stage
→
Right Production Wing
The exact function of those wings can vary from project to project.
For example, a future configuration could use side structures around LED, sound, lighting or other production requirements.
But those uses should not be assumed from this BOQ alone.
If the equipment type changes, the structural requirement also changes.
11. What Changes When the Project Requirement Changes?
Larger Roof
Roof width / depth increases
→ CS389 primary beam arrangement changes
→ tower positions may change
→ secondary roof members change
→ canopy area changes.
Higher Roof
Required roof height increases
→ aluminum tower configuration changes
→ erection arrangement changes
→ complete tower and support condition requires review.
Larger Stage
Required floor area increases
→ deck quantity increases
→ Ringlock standards and ledgers increase
→ diagonal bracing and bases change.
Higher Stage
Finished deck level increases
→ Ringlock vertical arrangement changes
→ bracing changes
→ stairs and handrails change.
Different Side-Wing Function
LED / sound / lighting / working platform requirement changes
→ wing dimensions may change
→ platform positions change
→ local support arrangement changes
→ bracing and base requirements may also change.
This is why the side structures should be configured from the actual production requirement rather than simply copied because another project used an 8m-high wing.
12. Assembly Logic
The exact erection method must follow the final project drawings and project-specific requirements, but the overall modular sequence can be understood as follows.
Step 1 — Establish the Base Layout
Set out:
Step 2 — Build the Ringlock Stage Grid
Install adjustable bases, standards, ledgers and diagonal braces to establish the lower platform structure.
Step 3 — Install the Stage Deck
Install deck-support members, clamps and the 1 × 2m deck panels.
Step 4 — Build the Side Wings
Progressively assemble the left and right Ringlock structures with horizontal and diagonal bracing.
Step 5 — Assemble the Aluminum Roof
Assemble the CS389 primary beams, towers and secondary roof members according to the required roof geometry.
Step 6 — Raise and Complete the Roof
The supplied configuration includes four 2-ton manual hoists associated with the tower system.
Complete stairs, handrails, side platforms and roof-covering elements according to the final layout.
For the broader principles behind modular erection sequencing, refer to Installation Methodology for Modular Stage, Truss & Scaffold Systems.
13. Component Relationship Summary
Module | Primary Components | Main Function |
Main roof | CS389 aluminum truss | Primary overhead span |
Roof towers | CS289 aluminum truss | Elevates roof system |
Secondary roof | CS30 + CL30 | Roof geometry / canopy support |
Stage floor | Ringlock + aluminum decks | Elevated performance area |
Stage access | Stair + handrails | Access and circulation |
Side wings | Ringlock structure | Additional elevated production zones |
Wing platforms | Steel platforms | Working / equipment-support areas |
Roof covering | PVC canopy | Weather covering |
This is why the system should be classified primarily as a hybrid event structure, not simply as a roof truss or a Ringlock stage.
14. Comparison with a Larger Hybrid Stage
The same basic structural principle appears at a much larger scale in the 20x18m Hybrid Ringlock Stage Structure Breakdown.
Both structures use:
Ringlock for dense modular support
+
Aluminum truss for overhead roof structure
but their scale and configuration are different.
The 10 × 8 × 8m system is useful as a more compact example because the relationship between the central roof, stage floor and two side wings can be seen clearly without the component count becoming as large as a major concert-stage system.
15. Engineering and Verification Boundary
This page explains the structural configuration and component relationship of the supplied system.
It does not establish project-specific:
The source BOQ includes water tanks and structural base components, but their presence should not be interpreted as proving that a specific ballast requirement has been verified for another site.
For more detail on the boundary between general structural explanation and project-specific engineering, see Safety Standards & Engineering Constraints.
To configure a similar system for another project, the most useful starting information is:
required covered roof width and depth;
required overall roof height;
stage width and depth;
finished stage height;
required left and right side-wing dimensions;
intended use of each wing;
LED dimensions and positions, if applicable;
sound equipment arrangement, if applicable;
lighting positions;
stair and access requirements;
existing Ringlock or aluminum truss inventory;
site layout and ground conditions;
project location and relevant environmental information.
These requirements allow the complete project to be divided into:
**Roof Module
Stage Module
Left Wing
Right Wing
Access Module**
before the final drawings and BOQ are developed.
