Event unit hire: which foldable unit suits your event?

An event unit is a foldable structure of 6 x 2.45 m that you deploy as backstage, bar, hospitality, exhibition stand or paddock structure. The units fold together, so 10 of them fit on one truck. That means less transport and a fast build on site. Which variant you need depends on the function, the look and the number of floors.

On this page we set out the options: backstage, dressing and production rooms, bar and merchandise units, single and double-decker hospitality with roof terrace, glass walls, stretch tents, exhibition stands and paddock structures. Every unit can be fully branded for brand activation. Unsure about the right choice? Our recommendation: start with the function and the number of people, then the size follows naturally.

What exactly is an event unit?

An event unit is a temporary, reusable structure that is built as a whole on site. The base is always the same format of 6 x 2.45 m, which you couple and stack into the space you need.

Because the units fold flat, 10 of them fit on one truck. That saves transport movements and makes the build clearer on a busy site.

The term comes up with foldable units, mobile units and collapsible bars. It is always the same building block, deployed for a different function.

Backstage, dressing room and production

For backstage, dressing and production rooms, the foldable units provide a lockable, weatherproof space behind the stage. You couple as many as you need, from a single artist room to a complete production village.

Think of dressing rooms for artists, a production office or accommodation for contractors who are on site for several days.

The 6 x 2.45 m format per unit makes the layout predictable: you know in advance how many square metres you get per room.

Bar and merchandise units

A bar or merchandise unit is a sales point that stands up quickly and stands out immediately. The collapsible bar can be branded in the corporate style of the event or brand.

These units work at festivals, sports events and exhibition floors where you combine revenue and visibility.

Because the build is short, the unit is ready before the public arrives. Handy with tight build windows.

Single and double-decker hospitality with roof terrace

For VIP and hospitality you get single or double-decker hospitality with a roof terrace and stairs. The upper floor gives a view over the site or the track, which is especially popular in motorsport.

A VIP unit in motorsport combines an enclosed reception area below with a roof terrace above. Glass walls make the space light and representative.

The number of floors and the number of coupled units determines the capacity. Tell us how many guests you expect, then we work back to the number of units.

Glass walls and stretch tents for a luxury look

Glass walls and stretch tents give the units a high-quality, open look. Glass walls bring in light, stretch tents add a sleek shape and a canopy.

This finish suits hospitality, brand presentations and representative reception.

Both can be combined with branding, so the whole aligns with the activation you are organising.

Exhibition stands, indoor and outdoor

An exhibition stand based on foldable units works both indoor and outdoor. You build a stand or a complete exhibition floor that can be closed off and branded.

For exhibitors who hire exhibition space or want to stand outdoors, the unit provides a solid, movable structure instead of loose modular building.

The 6 x 2.45 m format makes planning a stand layout simple, even with several coupled units.

Paddock structures for motorsport

A paddock structure is a coupled arrangement of units in the paddock, for teams, hospitality and brand activation. Single or double-decker, with a roof terrace where it fits.

In motorsport, the build time between sessions and races counts. The fast build of the foldable units fits right in.

You combine workspace, reception and brand visibility in one structure.
