TOTAL STRUCTURES

California-based truss and structure manufacturer Total Structures has announced the launch of its latest outdoor roof system design, the AIR Roof.

AIR tackles a long-term industry challenge of how to provide an attractive ‘sun shade’ medium capacity outdoor roof system on a budget. This is achieved through the use of a unique non-rigid inflatable apex system, which is attached to the truss and provides the roof with the slope necessary for adequate rain run-off and protection to the stage below.

The first AIR system owners are Atlantis Audio & Lighting of Scottsdale, Arizona who, after taking delivery earlier this month, has already used it at two events. The Atlantis AIR system measures 42ft2 and stands 33’ tall on four 12” towers. The main perimeter is produced from conventional medium duty truss. The system is finished with cantilevered PA trusses on both sides. The main system can be split and there are additional components in the form of two stand alone 42’ x 22’ roofs.

The system is fully engineered with its own dedicated stamped structural report and was delivered in less than four weeks from date of order.

Total Structures VP, Adrian Forbes-Black explained further: “We'd been working on this design for a while and when Atlantis called we knew that this would be an ideal catalyst to finally finish the work and bring it to life. The coolest thing about it is that now with just a small investment anyone that already owns a ground support system can turn it into a fully engineered outdoor roof.”
