Mega Arch Roof
Mega Arch
The Mega Arch, from Total Solutions Group, is a structural ladder technology like no other. The system simply comprises of a series of configurable ladders and node posts. The node posts can be altered to provide differing angles and thus altering the shape and size of the outdoor roof system.
This comprehensive structural solution offers unparalleled flexibility and innovation, making it a top choice for those seeking adaptability and efficiency in temporary truss structures.
The system can easily span up to 65mts whilst still giving a capacity of 7 tonnes per arch. To increase the capacity, you can simply double up the ladders. Bay sizes can vary from 1mt through to 6mt wide, and the length of the system is theoretically endless, with stage systems are out there that are over 120mt long.
Modular Capabilities and Specifications
- Modular Construction: The system is designed for flexibility with variable sizes, allowing it to be tailored to specific requirements.
- Width Options: Spanning up to 65m, the system offers significant flexibility for various applications.
- Length Variability: Available in 6m increments, the system can extend up to and beyond 120m, accommodating extensive needs.
- Trim Height: With a trim height of 20m, the structure can support substantial vertical space requirements.
- Standard Configurations: Various standard packages are available, such as 2000m², 4000m², and 6000m², providing a range of choices for different project sizes.

A Revolutionary Structural Solution
Evolving from earlier innovative designs, the Mega Arch has been recognized for its ability to transform spaces with ease and efficiency. Its modular design allows for quick assembly and disassembly, making it ideal for a variety of applications—from film and TV studios to concerts and exhibitions.
Versatility and Adaptability
The Mega Arch stands out with its flexible configuration options, accommodating different spatial requirements effortlessly. Whether erected on uneven terrain or a solid foundation, this structure adapts to meet your specific needs. It’s perfect for events demanding large, open spaces, and can be expanded to suit unique dimensions.
Enhanced Capabilities
To further tailor the experience, additional components can be integrated into the Mega Arch framework. These include stage platforms and support structures that enhance functionality for high-profile events. For sound-sensitive environments, options for soundproofing and thermal insulation are available, ensuring optimal conditions for any occasion.
Environmental Considerations
Designed with sustainability in mind, the Mega Arch is not only efficient in transport—thanks to its flat-pack design—but also boasts a significant reusability factor. Its components can be repurposed across different projects, minimizing waste and promoting environmentally-friendly practices. The source of our aluminium alloy means that these truss structures are manufactured from 100% recycled aluminium.
