Stage Designs

Bender

Gary Clegg from The Crossing Church in Tampa, Florida brings us these bent metallic pieces for their stage backdrop.

They were looking for an elegant industrial look that would take them up to our Easter production. The stage was constructed using 10 X 4, 6 X 4 and 2 X 4 sheets of 032 aluminum sheet metal. They were mounted to the back wall via painted 2 X 4″ studs cut to each piece. They mounted the metal sheets to each other with small right angle clips and pop rivets. The panels were lit using 12 Chauvet Baton 72 LED strips they had in-house.

The hardest part of this set was peeling back the protective plastic on the aluminum sheets. They cleaned up the fingerprints using a rag and 93% alcohol. Total cost to do this look at two campuses was $1500 and about 3 days to make it happen.

      by hand, had to make sure we didn’t crease it.

    Where did you position your lighting? I’m having a hard time getting great coverage.

    I’m curious to know if this affected sound quality in any way. Did the sheets vibrate during worship?
