STRUCTURES & SERVICES

On the page below you will find our range of structures, flooring, finishing options and additional services. These are the building blocks we use to bring spaces to life. Alongside standard structures you might expect to see, there are unique ones, with steeper roof lines, higher loading capacities and arguably the most versatile temporary flooring system in the world

We also offer in-house textile fabrication and a well-stocked metal and wood workshop for those occasions when only a bespoke solution will meet the brief.

Rather than moving with the herd, Peppers has always followed its own path. When much of the industry introduced light-weight frames Peppers went for the heavy duty option, suited to huge lighting rigs and aerial-artists. When others invested in cassette flooring, we developed our Podium Deck Base system. (We do stock cassette flooring, but we understand its limitations.)

More often than not our innovations develop in response to a specific set of requirements. When event architects and designers demanded ever more elaborate interior spaces, we developed multi-level flooring. When a renowned pyrotechnics designer complained about audience sight-lines, we presented him with the Mono-Pitch.

We love a challenge and we believe that our ever-evolving range of structures and services reflects this.

Full technical information and CAD drawings of all structures are available to clients on live projects only. Do contact one of our Contracts Managers, however, to discuss your requirements.

FRAME AWNING

Not just the easiest way to keep your guests dry from A to B, an awning is the beginning of the journey. It presents the opportunity to set the scene or change the tempo. Either open sided in the height of summer or enclosed in the depths of winter, the awning is where it all starts and the final lasting impression.

Technical Information

Widths: 2.4m – 2.5m – 3m – 4m

BELVEDERE RANGE

Elegant and adaptable, open-sided or enclosed, the Belvedere range combines modern technology with sweeping roof lines. These structures are perfect for intimate dinners, grand entrances, retail units, covered bars and chill-out areas.

All models can be interconnected to create larger spaces and can be fitted with flooring, glazed windows and doors.

FREESPAN™

The bedrock of our structure range since 1982 when Managing Director, Stuart Pepper imported one of the first aluminium structures of its kind into the UK. There have been many variations since then, but the principal remains the same: an adaptable and portable temporary structure that can be dressed and decorated to your personal specification.

Peppers Marquees trademarked the Freespan™ name in 1992.

Freespan - Castle Fraser, Aberdeanshire

Frame Sizes: 5m – 6m – 7.5m – 9m – 10m

FREESPAN™ H

The H stands for heavy duty, and that’s exactly what this range is. The same silhouette as the Freespan™ range but with much higher loading capacities. Initially Introduced at 30m and 40m wide, we soon realised there was also demand for smaller widths with high loading capacities.

Technical Information

Frame Sizes: 15m – 20m – 25m – 30m – 40m

Eaves: 3m – 4m – 5m – 6m

POLYGON

The Peppers Marquees Polygon combines high loading capacities with steep roof angles and straight legs, making it compatible with existing walling and glazing systems.

The Polygon was developed in response to two, independent challenges:

  • A major UK fashion house needed a runway-show structure that could cope with huge lighting designs and had the height to allow the lighting to work as it should: casting minimal shadows from the models.
  • Event organisers and designers were seeking a structure that could encompass entire or parts of buildings

Technical Information

Frame Sizes: 14m – 16m – 20m – 26m – 40m

Eaves: 3m – 4m – 5m – 6m

Bay Sizes: 5m – 2.5m + Bespoke Options

MONO-PITCH

Developed with the late, great Ian Milton of Hoecker Structures. We came to Ian with the conundrum, “can half a structure be a structure in its own right?”

The Mono-pitch is an engineered solution allowing maximum views of landscape, garden and sky, making it ideal for fireworks displays, live shows and outdoors product launches.

Technical Information

PODIUM DECK BASE SYSTEM

As event designers demanded ever-more complex flooring configurations we looked well beyond existing solutions and developed our Podium Deck Base system in conjunction with a leading scaffolding manufacturer.

Together we created the first, purpose designed connection between a scaffold sub-frame and the structure mounted upon it. Our film-faced timber floor decks bolt directly to the scaffold framework.

This highly adaptable system allows us to build sunken and raised floor levels, mezzanine levels, stage bases and towers.

We currently stock over 10,000M² of our Podium Deck Base system.

CADESIGN

We have worked with 2-Dimensional CAD software for over 20 years and have harnessed it’s capabilities for a myriad of uses on countless projects. Our Contracts Managers have vast experience of designing and collaborating on project drawings and designs, and where required, will produce a 2-D site and structure drawing as part of the project planning process.

More recently we have also being using 3-Dimensional CAD software, but more as a problem solving technique rather than for graphic visualisations.

If you require photo-realistic 3D renders and video walk-throughs we will be happy to introduce you to some of the industry’s leading visualisation experts.

BESPOKE
