Semi-Permanent Event Structures

Temporary Event Structures for Flexible Projects

Fabritex fabricates temporary structures for events at our U.S.-based facility. We produce custom frames, structural components, and pre-engineered solutions for outdoor events and longer applications. Our projects range from single units to large production runs, with sizes and layouts tailored to each event. Our AISC-certified quality program provides dependable fabrication, while our compatibility with Hocker, Roder, and Losberger systems makes it easy to expand or replace existing assemblies.

Customized Structures Fabricated for Any Need

Fabritex tailors your order to your unique needs. Our event structures are available as full assemblies or replacement components, compatible with Hocker, Roder, and Losberger aluminum frames or structures. They can be attached vertically to tents, creating a two-story structure that extends the utility of your existing tent. Our capabilities also extend to semi-permanent canopies, shade structures, and components for temporary structure tents.

About Our Process

Pre-engineered components and custom-fabricated solutions help you prepare for your event. These components support temporary builds and broader semi-permanent steel and aluminum structures, with options including:

  • Roofing and wall structural components
  • Custom size and layout

These structures are trusted for sporting events, music venues, trade shows, conventions, corporate gatherings, or other events that draw large crowds. Whether you need a single custom frame or thousands of semi-permanent steel structures, our solutions can be scaled accordingly.

Planning Event Structures

Before selecting a structure, account for the size, layout, occupancy, event duration, and site access. Ground conditions influence the anchoring, while permitting and local code requirements range from location to location. Multi-level designs, like double- and triple-decker event platforms, sometimes call for added structural review.

Compared to permanent venues, temporary options offer greater flexibility when locations, capacity needs, or schedules shift. Coordinate the permitting and installation requirements with your project team and local authorities, then provide Fabritex with the drawings, quantities, project location, and target dates for quoting.

Temporary Event Structure FAQs

What qualifies as a temporary structure?

It is intended for limited-duration use and can be dismantled, moved, or reconfigured. Semi-permanent structures serve longer periods while retaining greater flexibility than permanent construction.

What are some examples of temporary structures?

Common examples are frame tents, modular pavilions, covered event spaces, multi-level platforms, and emergency shelters. The right option hinges on the site conditions, crowd size, and the event’s length.

Can Fabritex components work with existing event structures?

Yes, Fabritex fabricates full assemblies and replacement components compatible with Hocker, Roder, and Losberger systems. Components can also attach vertically to create two-story configurations.
