Temporary seating

Our flat floor seating can be used on its own as a simple seating solution or in combination with temporary grandstands, to make the most the capacity of a venue or to offer alternative viewing options.  Flat floor seating can be ideal for events where space is not at a premium, and where line of sight is not key – popular examples of usage include conferences, graduations and speech days as well as music concerts and other outdoor events.

Our self-tipping seats are interchangeable for use on our grandstand or floor track so that audiences are guaranteed the same level of comfort, wherever they are sitting – an important consideration if you are planning an event where people will be seated for any length of time. 

As the way in which spectators follow a sporting event evolves, standing platforms are becoming more popular, often in conjunction with temporary grandstand seating.  Standing platforms are particularly popular in golfing events, as spectators become more mobile, following the players and action around the course rather than being seated in one place throughout play.

Standing platforms offer versatility, allowing spectators to access a low-level viewing area quickly and easily.  Once play has occurred the spectators can move on to the next area of the course and take up position again.  Quick to install, and relatively small compared to a temporary grandstand, they can be installed at multiple locations across a sporting venue or site.

The increase in the televisation of sporting events, especially those taking place over a large geographical area, such as a golf course, has led to changes in the way in which the action is filmed. Unable to rely solely on fixed camera points and cameras located at ground level, more and more broadcasters are opting for camera towers which, thanks to their elevated position, offer a birds eye view of the action, even when some distance away.

GL events has a track record of delivering TV and camera towers, particularly for golfing events. Constructed from scaffolding, towers have the benefit of being totally bespoke to our client’s requirements. They can be stand alone or built into existing grandstand structures.  They come in a range of different height options depending on the distance over which they are capturing the action. And they can of course be clad, scrimmed or branded in conjunction with the over branding of the event, helping them to either blend into the background or the venue, or stand out as useful reference points for a tee, or a particular area of the course.
