Overview

This 2m × 6m FOH represents a different spatial strategy from both a compact 2×2m control position and a wider 4×6m FOH shelter.

Its defining feature is its linear 12m² working footprint.

At only 2m wide but 6m long, technical equipment and operator positions can be organized longitudinally instead of spreading across a wide control room.

The confirmed structure has:

• 2m width

• 6m depth

• 2m side/eave height

• 3m central roof ridge

• 3m maximum roof height

• modular Ringlock main structure

• 21-plank working floor

• aluminum gable roof

• roof and curtain enclosure

• dedicated 2×2m steel access stair. Dragon Stage

Structurally, it belongs primarily to FOH & Control Structure. Because Ringlock and aluminum perform separate functions within the same structure, it also belongs to Ringlock + Aluminum Structure. DragonStructure itself defines this hybrid logic around assigning different structural functions to the two systems rather than merely mixing materials. DragonStructure

1. What Is This Structure?

The most useful way to understand this FOH is:

Linear Ringlock Working Structure

12m² Single-Level Platform

Aluminum Gable Roof

Fabric Enclosure

Dedicated Steel Stair Access

The relationship between these modules matters.

Ringlock creates the main temporary structural body.

Platform planks create the usable technical floor.

Aluminum members create the roof geometry.

Tarpaulins and curtains create the enclosure.

The steel stair provides a dedicated personnel-access route.

This makes the product more than a covered scaffold platform. It is a coordinated single-level technical-control structure with integrated access.

2. Why “Linear FOH Shelter”?

The 2×6m dimensions should not be treated simply as another FOH size.

Its width-to-length relationship creates a specific type of working space:

2m wide × 6m long = narrow and longitudinal.

That differs substantially from the 4×6m FOH already developed for DragonStructure, which provides a broader 24m² workspace. The published 4×6m Structure page is specifically organized around a wide single-level working area. DragonStructure

The 2×6m structure instead provides a 12m² linear working zone.

Conceptually:

        2m WIDTH
     ┌────────────┐
     │ Equipment  │
     │     ↓      │
     │ Operator   │
     │     ↓      │
6m   │ Equipment  │
LONG │     ↓      │
     │ Operator   │
     │     ↓      │
     │  Access    │
     └────────────┘
          ↓
        STAIR

This does not prescribe an actual console arrangement. It illustrates the spatial logic only.

3. A 12m² Single-Level Technical Workspace

The nominal footprint is:

2m × 6m = 12m²

and the BOQ contains 21 platform planks with a listed 0.2780m specification.

The resulting floor is intended as a single-level technical-control area rather than a multi-level tower.

Possible uses include:

• audio mixing;

• lighting control;

• video production;

• computers and monitors;

• communication equipment;

• technical racks;

• event-production operators.

These are application possibilities identified on the original product page, not a fixed equipment layout.

For a long and narrow FOH, equipment dimensions are particularly important. Console depth, operator clearance, cable routing and the stair position can directly affect how much usable internal space remains.

4. Ringlock Forms the Main Structural Body

The main booth structure uses a modular Ringlock framework.

However, there is an important source-data limitation for this particular product:

The original BOQ does not provide the quantities of the Ringlock standards, ledgers and braces.

The original DragonTruss page explicitly states that these quantities should be prepared from the approved production drawing rather than estimated from the rendered image.

Therefore, this DragonStructure page does not invent a Ringlock component count.

What is confirmed is the structural relationship:

Ringlock main frame

→ supports and defines the linear FOH body

Platform planks

→ form the technical working surface

Aluminum frame

→ forms the upper gable roof.

For the broader modular system, see Ringlock Structure.

5. Why the Stair Is Structurally Important

The stair should not be treated as a minor accessory in this product.

The confirmed package contains:

1 × 2m × 2m steel access stair set.

That gives this FOH a clearly defined access module:

Ground

→ Dedicated Stair

→ FOH Working Platform

This differs from the compact 2×2m FOH concept, where the structure is mainly about creating a minimal covered control position.

Here, access occupies its own physical zone outside the linear working area.

The final stair position should therefore be considered together with:

• FOH orientation;

• operator circulation;

• audience circulation;

• equipment movement;

• cable routes;

• available installation footprint.

The FOH may nominally be 2×6m, but the complete operational footprint is larger once the stair-access zone is considered.

That is an important planning distinction for the customer.

6. Aluminum Gable Roof

The upper structure changes system from Ringlock to aluminum.

The confirmed aluminum roof package contains:

Together, these repeated members create the roof framework along the 6m-long FOH. Dragon Stage

This produces the hybrid relationship:

Ringlock

→ main supporting and working structure

Aluminum

→ gable roof structure

This is precisely the type of functional division described in DragonStructure's Ringlock + Aluminum Structure category: different systems perform different jobs within one integrated temporary structure. DragonStructure

7. 2m Eaves and 3m Central Ridge

The roof rises symmetrically from approximately:

2m at both eaves

to

3m at the central ridge. Dragon Stage

The structural profile can therefore be understood as:

             3m RIDGE
                /\
               /  \
              /    \
          2m │      │ 2m
             │      │
             │ FOH  │
             │      │
             ├──────┤
             │FLOOR │
             └──────┘
               2m

This is a gable / A-frame roof, not a single-slope roof.

That distinction is useful within the DragonStructure FOH library because roof geometry is another meaningful structural variable:

Gable Roof
→ central ridge with two roof slopes.

Single-Slope Roof
→ one high side and one low side.

Roof geometry and working-space geometry are separate variables.

A 2×6m FOH does not inherently require a gable roof; this is the confirmed configuration of this particular product.

8. Three-Section Roof Cover

Rather than using one single large tarpaulin, the BOQ contains:

3 × 8.6569m² roof tarpaulins

plus:

2 × 0.5m² triangular tarpaulins.

The three main sections correspond to the modular 6m-long roof arrangement, while the triangular panels relate to the gable-end geometry.

The exact overlap, seam and fastening arrangement should follow the final manufacturing drawing; it should not be reconstructed from the BOQ alone.

This is another example of why Product pages should separate:

confirmed component configuration

from

unverified construction detail.

9. Curtain Enclosure

Unlike the smaller open FOH configuration, this 2×6m structure includes an enclosure package.

The confirmed BOQ contains:

• 1 × 12m² side curtain

• 2 × 4m² front/rear curtain panels.

Together with the roof tarpaulins, these panels create a more enclosed technical-control environment.

However, FOH enclosure should not automatically mean closing every side.

Depending on the event layout, openings may still be needed for:

• stage sightlines;

• operator entry;

• equipment access;

• cable routing;

• ventilation.

The original product information therefore allows the curtain arrangement to be changed according to which sides need to remain open.

10. The Relationship Between Stair and Enclosure

This product has an interesting practical relationship that does not exist in a completely open FOH pod.

Once both curtains and a dedicated stair are introduced, the entrance position becomes part of the enclosure planning.

The customer is no longer deciding only:

Where should the stair go?

They are effectively deciding:

Where should people enter the protected FOH workspace?

That means the following should be considered together:

Stair Position

Curtain Opening

Operator Route

Equipment Access

Cable Routing

This is why access is a structural planning issue rather than merely a last-minute accessory.

11. Why Not Simply Make the FOH Wider?

A 2×6m structure and a 4×6m structure provide very different working geometries.

The 2×6m version may be useful where the customer has:

• limited available width;

• a long narrow installation zone;

• equipment that can be arranged sequentially;

• a limited number of operators;

• a site layout where a wider FOH would occupy too much audience or circulation space.

The 4×6m version, by contrast, provides a much broader continuous floor area and more flexibility for side-by-side equipment and operator positions. The existing DragonStructure 4×6m product is built around exactly that wider single-level logic. DragonStructure

So the choice is not:

Which one is bigger?

The more useful question is:

Does the technical workflow need width, or can it be organized longitudinally?

12. Complete BOQ

The original DragonTruss page provides the following confirmed BOQ. Dragon Stage

Important BOQ Note

The Ringlock main-frame component quantities are not included in the published BOQ.

They should therefore be determined from the approved production drawing and must not be estimated from the product image.

Packing Weight: approximately 400kg
Packing Volume: approximately 1.5CBM.

13. What the BOQ Reveals About the Structure

Even without the individual Ringlock quantities, the BOQ tells us a great deal about the structural concept.

Working Module

21 platform planks create the long single-level technical floor.

Roof Module

8 inclined aluminum beams + 9 connecting beams create the repeated gable-roof framework.

Enclosure Module

3 roof tarpaulins + 2 triangular panels + side/end curtains create the covered workspace.

Access Module

One complete 2×2m steel stair creates a dedicated entrance route.

Stabilization-Related Module

Two 6m steel pipes with accessories are supplied as ballast-related components.

This gives the complete functional relationship:

Ringlock Body

→ Working Platform

→ Aluminum Roof

→ Fabric Enclosure

→ Dedicated Stair Access

The stair is what makes this configuration particularly distinct from a simple elongated covered booth.

14. Assembly Logic

At Product level, the structural assembly relationship can be understood as:

1. Establish the 2×6m Ringlock footprint.

2. Assemble the Ringlock main supporting framework according to the approved production drawing.

3. Install the required bracing within the Ringlock structure.

4. Install the 21 platform planks to create the linear working floor.

5. Assemble the repeated aluminum roof-beam sections.

6. Connect them along the 6m length using the aluminum connecting members.

7. Form the 2m-eave / 3m-ridge gable roof.

8. Install the three roof tarpaulin sections and two triangular gable panels.

9. Install the required side and end curtains.

10. Install the dedicated 2×2m steel access stair in the confirmed access position.

11. Complete the project-specific stabilization arrangement.

This is a structural composition and assembly sequence, not a project-specific engineered erection procedure.

15. Four FOH Spatial Strategies

With this product added, your current DragonStructure FOH products can be explained very clearly:

The published DragonStructure pages already distinguish the 4×6m single-level shelter from the 4×4m multi-level tower, while the FOH category itself states that FOH structures may be single- or multi-level depending on equipment, personnel, working height and site layout. DragonStructure

So the broader logic becomes:

Minimum

→ Extend Length

→ Extend Width

→ Extend Vertically

This is a useful DragonStructure content system because customers can recognize why one FOH geometry exists, instead of seeing a catalogue containing many apparently similar scaffold booths.

16. When Does a Linear FOH Make Sense?

A 2×6m layout becomes worth considering when the project has a relatively narrow available zone but still needs more technical working space than a 2×2m pod can provide.

The design question becomes:

Can the equipment and operators be arranged along the length of the structure?

If yes, increasing length may be more practical than increasing width.

If no—particularly when several large consoles need to operate side-by-side—a wider FOH may provide a more suitable spatial arrangement.

If ground footprint itself is severely restricted but more working positions are required, the project may instead move toward a multi-level FOH tower.

The important principle is:

Expand the FOH in the direction required by the technical workflow—not simply in whichever dimension is easiest to manufacture.

17. Information Needed for a Similar Linear FOH

For a similar structure, the most useful information includes:

• required booth width and length;

• required working-platform height;

• operator quantity;

• console dimensions;

• equipment/rack dimensions and weights;

• required operator circulation;

• stage-viewing direction;

• required enclosed sides;

• entrance position;

• stair position;

• cable-entry and cable-routing positions;

• roof height and geometry;

• indoor or outdoor use;

• installation location;

• available total footprint including stair;

• existing drawings or reference images.

For this particular 2×6m geometry, console depth and stair position should be confirmed early, because both can materially affect the usable working area.

18. Engineering / Verification Boundary

The original DragonTruss page confirms the physical configuration described above, including the dimensions, platform quantity, aluminum roof members, tarpaulins, curtains, stair and ballast-related steel pipes.

It does not establish:

• platform allowable load;

• roof allowable load;

• wind resistance;

• required ballast weight;

• anchoring requirement;

• ground-bearing requirement;

• safety factor;

• structural certification;

• local-code compliance;

• engineering approval.

The original source also specifically states that stabilization requirements depend on actual installation conditions rather than being established merely by the presence of the supplied ballast-related steel pipes.

Likewise, because the published BOQ does not provide the Ringlock main-frame quantities, this page deliberately does not reconstruct them.

19. Related DragonStructure Pages

The primary functional category is FOH & Control Structure. DragonStructure uses this category for temporary structures supporting front-of-house audio, lighting, video and production operations. DragonStructure

The secondary structural-system category is Ringlock + Aluminum Structure because Ringlock creates the supporting/working structure while aluminum performs the separate roof-frame function. DragonStructure

For the wider system family, see Ringlock Structure.

For comparison with a wider single-level layout, see 4x6m Single-Level Hybrid Ringlock FOH Shelter with Pitched Aluminum Roof. Its 4×6m footprint demonstrates the alternative strategy of gaining technical workspace through width rather than maintaining a narrow linear plan. DragonStructure

FAQ

Why is this called a Linear FOH Shelter?

Because the structure is only 2m wide but 6m long. Its main spatial characteristic is a narrow technical workspace extended longitudinally rather than a wide control room.

What is the working footprint?

The nominal footprint is 2m × 6m, or 12m². The actual usable operating area depends on equipment placement, operator circulation and other installed components. 

What type of roof does it use?

It uses a symmetrical gable / A-frame roof, with approximately 2m side/eave height and a 3m central ridge.

Is this a Ringlock-only structure?

No. Ringlock forms the main supporting and working structure, while separate aluminum members form the gable roof. It is therefore a hybrid Ringlock + aluminum configuration.

Is the working floor included?

Yes. The published BOQ contains 21 platform planks.

Is the stair included?

Yes. The configuration contains one 2m × 2m steel stair set providing dedicated access to the working platform.

Are curtains included?

Yes. The BOQ contains one 12m² side curtain and two 4m² front/rear curtain panels, together with the roof and gable tarpaulins.

Can the curtain arrangement be changed?

Yes. The original product information states that curtain layout and open sides can be modified according to the required viewing, access and operational arrangement.

Why are the Ringlock quantities missing from the BOQ?

The published source does not provide them. DragonTruss specifically states that the final Ringlock component list should be prepared from the approved production drawing rather than estimated from the rendered image.
