A 14m × 6m × 8m modular Ringlock event backdrop framework combined with an independent 8m × 4m × 0.8m aluminum quick stage and two access stairs. The configuration creates a large vertical event background around a relatively low performance platform, without requiring a complete aluminum roofing system.
Dragon Stage
This hybrid event structure combines a large Ringlock framework with a relatively compact aluminum performance stage.
Unlike a conventional roofed concert stage, the confirmed configuration does not include an aluminum roof, roof canopy, LED screens or sound-hanging equipment.
Instead, the structure consists of three main modules:
14×6×8m Ringlock Event Framework
8×4×0.8m Aluminum Quick Stage
Two Aluminum Access Stairs
The Ringlock framework creates the large surrounding structural volume, while the aluminum quick stage provides the usable performance surface.
The two systems are coordinated within one event layout but remain separate modular assemblies.
This arrangement is particularly relevant to events that require a substantial visual or structural backdrop without automatically requiring a complete roofed concert-stage system.
Item | Confirmed Configuration |
|---|---|
Ringlock Framework Width | 14m |
Ringlock Framework Depth | 6m |
Ringlock Framework Height | 8m |
Main Stage Width | 8m |
Main Stage Depth | 4m |
Main Stage Height | 0.8m |
Nominal Stage Area | 32m² |
Stage System | Aluminum Quick Stage |
Stage Deck Surface | Wooden Topping |
Stage Access | 2 Stairs |
Roof Structure | Not Included |
Main Structural Systems | Steel Ringlock + Aluminum Stage |
Application | Concerts, Performances, Ceremonies, Temporary Events |
The distinction between the two dimensions is important.
The Ringlock structure measures 14m × 6m × 8m, but the actual performance floor measures only 8m × 4m.
The larger framework therefore does not represent an equally large performance platform.
The original commercial product describes the main Ringlock system as a truss wall.
For structural analysis, it is more useful to understand its function as a large modular event backdrop framework.
The structure creates a vertical and spatial background around the central performance area.
Its confirmed components include standards, horizontal pipes, diagonal braces and adjustable bases.
These components form a three-dimensional modular framework rather than a conventional aluminum truss wall.
The framework may be configured around project-specific scenery, branding or visual requirements, but the published BOQ does not confirm any particular LED screen, banner, scenic element or equipment load.
Therefore, this page describes the framework itself, not an assumed decoration or equipment installation.
The Ringlock system is the larger of the two main structural modules.
Its overall dimensions are:
Width: 14m
Depth: 6m
Height: 8m
The confirmed configuration uses repeated 2m modular components.
Component | Specification | Quantity | Function |
|---|---|---|---|
Horizontal Pipe | L = 2m | 208 pcs | Forms the horizontal modular framework |
Diagonal Pipe LR3 | L = 2.44m | 167 pcs | Provides diagonal bracing within the Ringlock assembly |
Pillar LR1 | L = 2m | 96 pcs | Forms the vertical modular framework |
Adjustable Base LR4 | H = 0.25m | 31 pcs | Provides adjustable base positions |
Ringlock Packing Weight: approximately 3,400kg
Ringlock Packing Volume: approximately 6CBM
The relatively large quantity of horizontal and diagonal members shows that the framework is not simply a single straight line of vertical posts.
It is a braced modular structure extending through the confirmed 14m width, 6m depth and 8m height.
For the underlying system, see Ringlock Structure.
The framework can be understood through four component groups.
The 96 vertical standards establish the main vertical Ringlock arrangement.
Their repeated 2m length provides the modular basis for the 8m-high configuration.
The exact distribution of standards between bays and levels must follow the actual product drawing.
The 208 horizontal pipes connect the vertical standards and create the modular horizontal arrangement.
Their 2m length is a defining characteristic of this configuration.
The 167 diagonal members form the braced zones within the structure.
Their presence is important when understanding why this product is more than a decorative framework made from vertical and horizontal pipes alone.
The exact brace positions should be taken from the confirmed assembly drawing.
The package contains 31 adjustable bases with a listed height of 0.25m.
These form the adjustable lower support positions of the Ringlock structure.
Their inclusion does not establish the required ground-bearing capacity, foundation arrangement or outdoor stabilization requirements for another installation.
Inside the larger Ringlock arrangement sits a separate aluminum quick stage.
Its confirmed dimensions are:
8m width × 4m depth × 0.8m height
The nominal stage surface is:
8m × 4m = 32m²
The stage uses sixteen 2m × 1m deck modules.
Each deck covers a nominal area of 2m².
Therefore:
16 × 2m² = 32m²
This matches the confirmed stage footprint.
Unlike a Ringlock-supported stage platform, the quick stage uses its own adjustable legs and leg connectors.
This difference is important because the Ringlock backdrop and the aluminum stage do not share the same supporting system.
Component | Specification | Quantity | Function |
|---|---|---|---|
Stage Deck / Topping | 2m × 1m, wooden topping | 16 pcs | Creates the 32m² performance surface |
Adjustable Stage Leg | Height adjustment 0.6–1m | 64 pcs | Supports individual stage deck positions |
Four-Leg Connector | Connector for 4 legs | 9 pcs | Connects adjacent stage-leg positions |
Two-Leg Connector | Connector for 2 legs | 12 pcs | Connects stage legs at specified positions |
Stage Stair | Wooden topping, 4 steps | 2 pcs | Provides access to the 0.8m stage |
Quick Stage Packing Weight: approximately 670kg
Quick Stage Packing Volume: approximately 4CBM
Module | Weight | Volume |
|---|---|---|
Ringlock Framework | Approx. 3,400kg | Approx. 6CBM |
Aluminum Quick Stage Package | Approx. 670kg | Approx. 4CBM |
Combined Total | Approx. 4,070kg | Approx. 10CBM |
These are packing figures, not installed structural weights or engineering load ratings.
The quick stage is based on modular deck units and adjustable legs.
Its component relationship is:
Wood-Topped Aluminum Stage Deck
↓
Adjustable Stage Legs
↓
Leg Connectors
↓
Ground Support Positions
The deck modules form the performance surface.
The adjustable legs provide the specified stage elevation.
The leg connectors coordinate adjacent leg positions within the modular layout.
This is a different structural approach from a stage supported by a continuous Ringlock grid of standards, ledgers and diagonal braces.
The distinction matters when comparing different stage configurations.
For other stage-support approaches, see Stage & Platform Structure.
The confirmed performance platform is approximately 0.8m high, while the surrounding Ringlock framework reaches approximately 8m.
This creates two very different vertical scales within the same event layout.
Ringlock Framework: 8m high
Performance Platform: 0.8m high
The stage is therefore not intended to occupy the full vertical volume created by the Ringlock structure.
Its primary purpose is to provide a raised performance surface.
The surrounding framework serves a separate backdrop or structural-layout function.
This relationship is one of the most distinctive features of the product.
The confirmed stage package contains:
2 × four-step stage stairs with wooden topping
These stairs provide access between ground level and the 0.8m-high performance platform.
The basic access relationship is:
Ground Level
↓
Four-Step Stair
↓
0.8m Aluminum Quick Stage
The two stair units may be positioned according to the event layout, subject to the final configuration.
The published source does not establish a universal stair placement or confirm handrails as part of this particular BOQ.
If handrails or additional access equipment are required, they should be specified separately.
The complete structure contains two independent modular systems.
Provides the large surrounding event framework.
Provides the actual raised performance floor.
Their relationship is:
Large Structural Background
Compact Performance Platform
Rather than:
One Continuous Ringlock-Supported Stage
The stage does not need to use Ringlock standards as its supporting legs in this confirmed configuration.
Likewise, the Ringlock framework should not automatically be described as carrying the quick stage.
The two modules are arranged together within the same temporary event layout.
This is the central structural relationship behind this product.
One important difference from larger hybrid concert-stage structures is the absence of a confirmed roof system.
The supplied configuration contains:
Ringlock framework
Aluminum quick stage
Two stage stairs
It does not contain a confirmed:
Aluminum roof truss system
Roof canopy
Roof lifting towers
Roof hoists
Roof tarpaulin
This means the product should be described as an open-air stage and backdrop framework, not a roofed concert stage.
If a project requires an overhead roof, that requirement would introduce another structural module and a different complete configuration.
DragonStructure also presents larger concert-stage structures combining Ringlock frameworks, aluminum roofing systems, elevated performance stages and LED-support zones.
This product follows a simpler modular arrangement.
Structural Feature | 14m Backdrop + Quick Stage | Larger Roofed Concert Stage |
|---|---|---|
Surrounding Ringlock Framework | Included | May be included |
Performance Stage | 8×4m aluminum quick stage | Larger project-specific stage |
Stage Height | 0.8m | Project-dependent |
Roof | Not included | Dedicated roof module |
LED Wings | Not confirmed | May be included |
Roof Lifting Equipment | Not included | May be required |
Main Structural Relationship | Backdrop framework + independent platform | Multiple stage, roof and support modules |
The key distinction is not merely the overall size.
It is the number and function of the structural modules.
This product demonstrates a configuration in which a large event framework is combined with a simple performance platform without adding a complete roofing system.
The Ringlock framework has a confirmed width of 14m.
The aluminum stage has a confirmed width of 8m.
The difference is:
14m − 8m = 6m
This indicates that the overall framework extends beyond the nominal stage width.
However, the source does not confirm that the stage is perfectly centered or that the remaining 6m is distributed equally on both sides.
Therefore, it would be incorrect to state that the product automatically provides two 3m side zones.
The actual relative position of the stage and Ringlock framework should be taken from the project layout.
This distinction is important when adapting the configuration to different event sites.
This configuration can be considered for:
Concert and music performances
Cultural events
Public ceremonies
Brand events
Temporary performance areas
Festival stage backdrops
Event scenery frameworks
Other temporary event layouts requiring a large background structure and a separate low stage
Additional visual equipment, lighting, banners or other event components should only be included when they are part of the confirmed project requirement.
The Ringlock framework dimensions alone do not establish the capacity to support such equipment.
The confirmed 14×6×8m framework and 8×4×0.8m quick stage represent one configuration.
For another project, the following elements can be adjusted.
Width, depth and height may change according to the required event layout.
The number and arrangement of 2×1m deck modules can change according to the required performance area.
The source-listed adjustable legs cover a 0.6–1m adjustment range for this package.
Different stage heights may require different components or supporting arrangements.
Stair quantity and position can change according to personnel circulation and the event layout.
If the project requires LED screens, lighting, scenery, audio equipment or a roof, these should be treated as additional project requirements rather than assumed parts of the original structure.
The guiding principle is:
Define the required function first, then configure the corresponding structural module.
At the Product level, the configuration can be understood through the following general assembly relationship.
Establish the overall 14×6m Ringlock footprint and the intended position of the 8×4m stage.
Position the Ringlock adjustable bases according to the confirmed drawing.
Assemble the Ringlock vertical standards and horizontal members.
Install diagonal bracing in the specified Ringlock bays.
Complete the Ringlock framework to the confirmed 8m configuration.
Arrange the sixteen 2×1m aluminum quick-stage decks.
Install the adjustable stage legs and specified leg connectors.
Configure the quick stage to the required 0.8m platform height.
Install the two four-step access stairs.
Verify the complete layout and complete any project-specific stabilization and engineering requirements.
This sequence explains how the modules relate to one another. It is not a complete erection procedure or approved engineering method statement.
For a similar project, please provide the required Ringlock width, depth and height, together with the intended function of the backdrop framework.
The performance platform should be specified separately, including stage width, depth, height, preferred deck type, number of stairs and access positions.
If additional equipment will be installed on the Ringlock framework, its type, dimensions, weight and intended location should also be provided.
The project location, indoor or outdoor use, ground conditions and available site layout are also relevant.
A front elevation and plan drawing are particularly helpful for confirming the relationship between the wider Ringlock framework and the smaller performance stage.
The published product confirms the dimensions and component quantities described above.
However, it does not provide verified engineering conclusions for:
Ringlock allowable equipment loads
Stage allowable loads
Wind resistance
Ballast requirements
Anchoring requirements
Foundation or ground-bearing requirements
Safety factors
Structural certification
Local regulatory compliance
Engineering approval
The 8m Ringlock height and 0.8m stage height are geometric specifications, not evidence of verified load capacity or outdoor installation approval.
Any additional suspended, attached or supported equipment requires separate confirmation of the complete structural arrangement.
This category explains configurations in which Ringlock and aluminum structural systems perform different functions within one event project.
Relevant to the performance-platform function and comparisons between independent quick stages and Ringlock-supported stage systems.
Relevant to the standards, horizontal members, diagonal bracing and adjustable-base system used to create the large event framework.
This related structure provides a useful comparison with a more complex concert-stage arrangement that includes a Ringlock-supported performance platform, roof system and dedicated equipment-support zones.
