At GSL Events, we’re always looking to expand our services to provide the best event production solutions in Dorset and beyond. That’s why we’re excited to introduce our brand-new Milos MR1 8m x 6m outdoor stage roof system—a versatile and robust structure designed to meet the needs of festivals, outdoor events, theatre productions, and touring shows.
Truss Stages vs Trailer Stages: Which Is Best?
When choosing an outdoor stage, the two most common options are truss stages and trailer stages. Each has its advantages, but for flexibility, strength, and professional production value, truss stages come out on top.
The Advantages of a Truss Stage
A truss-based stage like our Milos MR1 offers:
Increased Rigging Capacity – With multiple rigging points, you can securely hang professional lighting, PA systems, and even video walls. Trailer stages often have limited rigging options, making them less adaptable for larger productions.
Expandable Design – Our truss stage allows for PA wings and video wall wings, giving your event a more polished and immersive look. Trailer stages are typically confined to their built-in dimensions.
Better Customisation – Truss stages can be adjusted for different event needs, whereas trailer stages are often a one-size-fits-all solution.

needs.
Safety First: The Importance of Proper Stage Installation
Large outdoor structures require careful planning and expert setup to ensure safety for performers, crew, and audiences. At GSL Events, we prioritise safety at every stage of our stage construction process.
Expert Staff Training
Our experienced team is fully trained in truss assembly, rigging, and weather safety protocols, ensuring that the Milos MR1 is set up securely every time. We also provide comprehensive risk assessments for each event.
Site Location Suitability
Before installation, we assess the terrain, ground stability, wind exposure, and access points to make sure our 8m x 6m stage is placed in the best possible position for both safety and performance impact.
Weather Resistance & Load Capacity
The Milos MR1 is built with high-grade aluminium truss and weather-resistant materials, making it a durable option for outdoor events. With its high load capacity, it can safely support lighting rigs, sound systems, and large-scale production elements.
