Summer is here in Portland and that means plenty of sunshine and outdoor music festivals. While we design and build many different stage and shade canopies for different events. One stands out! We're proud to announce that we are going out to Pendarvis Farms to start building Pickathon today! This is a much anticipated event because it absorbs so much of our energy and dedication throughout the year. As you can imagine, considering the fact that Pickathon features one of our largest tension structures to date represented by 260,000 sq. feet of fabric, 10 miles of rope and line, over 1000' of stage truss, and a crew that works around the clock for months to design, fabricate, build, and install on site. Making it the largest temporary tension structures in the world setup annually that we are aware of. . Check out this video about part of our Pickathon Installation from 2012 produced by David Wild.
