Working with artists and events companies on large-scale exhibition structures, primarily for museums, galleries and installation displays.
When working in exhibition spaces, we coordinate closely with artists, architects and creative clients on a wide variety of briefs. From the small and quirky to the epic and groundbreaking, we can help turn the vision into a reality, no matter the exhibition structure in question.
We are problem solvers, we love to get our teeth into creative projects and have years of experience installing artistic pieces into a variety of museum and gallery spaces.
Base Structures are experts at working at height and our tensile fabric installation team have worked in all manner of quirky spaces and complex environments over the years, and they love a challenge.
We pride ourselves on using this extensive expertise to find a way to install creative pieces of work in the most challenging and complex of places, with safety and security at the heart of everything we do.
Able to work with all manner of different structural materials, our creative team can fulfil your creative vision whether it be designing, manufacturing and installing a steel sculpture, a glass creature or organising the logistics of a giant Gorilla around the country – see the below article from BBC News.
If it is weird and wonderful and posing lots of ‘how can we’ questions, give us a try, we will love seeing what can be done and thinking outside the box.
Event structures that are uniquely designed to be demounted and re-installed quickly and easily for recurring or touring events.
Our bespoke touring and temporary structures are designed for repeat use and being on the road. Whether it’s a high-profile festival, a corporate roadshow or a traveling exhibition, our demountable structures adapt to any setting and offer endless possibilities for event design.
We have worked with a number of clients over the years who have needed to move their shows from location to location across a busy schedule of touring. Our bespoke canopy structures offer quick and easy installation and demounting that meet the rigorous demands of life on the road and events scheduling.
From the outset we work with the client to understand the nature of the event and any specific or special requirements. We then work the plans for storage, logistics, installation and demounting into the design process, creating a bespoke, custom plan highly adapted to your needs.
Some of our clients require an event canopy or structure for a short period, but the space needs to be returned to its regular use following the event until the following year.
Using our bespoke design services, we can help create and build a structure that can be demounted, stored and re-installed quickly and easily but still provides the wow factor for the event, year after year.
We have a large amount of experience creating temporary structures and shade canopies for festivals, including having designed and built some iconic stage structures at well-known music festivals.
Fabric structures offer much needed weather protection required for these short events, but without compromising on style or effect. Many of our canopies can be decorated, designed in printed fabric or used as a canvas for creative imagery projections, incorporating the structures into the overall style and aesthetic of the festival and adding to the experience for performers and festival-goers alike.
Whether for a touring exhibit, a show, festival, gig or indeed any other event type, we apply our tensile fabric and installation expertise each time to come up with a beautiful structure that can be used again and again for the same dramatic impact and practical function each time.

We can look after your structure to ensure it remains operational and useful for as long as possible.
We believe that you should have the best chance to ensure your canopy delivers results for as long as possible – both for your business and for the benefit of the environment. Read more here about our maintenance and replacement programmes.
Tensile structures are dynamic and precisely engineered. Regular maintenance will mitigate the impact of weather damage and general wear-and-tear. We highly recommend an annual inspection at the very least and where necessary carry out any necessary repairs, re-tensioning and cleaning.
Our maintenance packages are bespoke to your structure’s needs and tailored to suit your budget, either as required or on a rolling basis. Contact us today to discuss options if you feel your canopy or structure might benefit from a survey, inspection or maintenance programme.
We have undertaken numerous full canopy replacements where the original canopy has come to the end of its design life and has started to look tired.
A replacement canopy canopy not only improve the look and feel but can provide improved safety and renewed lifespan for your structure. Canopies we have replaced include the iconic Moundstand and Nursery canopies at Lords Cricket Ground, Portobello Market Canopy, Oldham Bus Station, Sainsburys Crayford, Station and more recently Swalec Stadium in Cardiff.
We recommend an inspection after any significant weather event, including ensuring that your canopy is cleaned every two years as a minimum. If you’re in an area of high pollution or close to trees, for example, you may want to speak to us to discuss a more regular maintenance programme.
Our packages gives you the peace of mind that comes from knowing that you are getting the maximum performance, safety and value from your structure.
Our wide range of skills goes beyond cleaning and maintaining fabric structures. We’re skilled at working at height, and have considerable rope access expertise, being able to provide a broad range of maintenance a work where access can be difficult. We can offer surveying, painting, glazing repair, cleaning, testing structural cables, wire rope inspections, tie rods and pin connections as well as checking overall stability on complex builds. Examples of our varied works include a recent clean of a glazed walkway, wrapping cables on the Severn Bridge and pipe laying via rope access. We even once fixed a clock on a clock tower!
During the lifespan of your original canopy it is also likely that fabric technology has moved on and that new and improved fabrics are available that offer greater lifespans, safety and improved weather protections. We can advise on available fabric options for replacing your canopy with the latest technologies.
We can recycle and reuse old canopies to ensure they don’t end up in landfill, too. We have worked with many clients re-using old canopies for the festival circuit, turning into ground mats, weather proofing and much more. See our sustainability page for more information.

Weather-proofing shelter and shade for those queueing and waiting to enter your business
Many businesses are now having to consider providing rain protection and sun shade for socially distanced queuing such as queue shelters, canopies and covered waiting areas, as people wait to enter the premises, buy tickets or use various facilities,
Social distancing can reduce the number of people allowed in any one space, our queuing canopies and covered walkways can create more space but also fit into existing spaces, look good and feel part of the businesses.
Temporary options are available with our relocatable canopy solution, designed with temporary concrete blocks so no foundations would be required. This gives greater flexibility for short term solutions and canopies for social distancing could be turned quickly – in as little as 4 weeks.
The queuing canopy can also be used as a walkway canopy, and equally as a bike shelter or grandstand canopy for shelter during sports or trackside events.
