What is an arena roof?

An arena roof is a continuous overhead structure that covers an entire arena or central event space from all sides. It is the most complex and architecturally striking form of grandstand roofing, creating a fully enclosed spectator environment.

What types of events are arena roofs particularly suited to?

Arena roofs are especially well-suited to concerts, indoor sports events such as ice hockey, combat sports or tennis, trade shows, and gala events where full enclosure of the event space is desired.

Can a temporary arena roof be built?

Yes. Arena roofs can also be constructed as temporary structures, subject to the appropriate permits. They are used, for example, at large outdoor concert arenas or major sporting events where a permanent roof is not economically justifiable.

How much natural light does an arena roof let through?

This depends on the cladding material chosen. Translucent polycarbonate panels allow a generous amount of natural daylight, while opaque membranes or metal sheets provide full protection from direct sunlight. Combinations of both are also possible.

How long does it take to build an arena roof?

Building an arena roof is considerably more involved than a standard mono-pitch roof. Depending on size and complexity, construction can take several weeks. Early planning and engagement with the supplier is particularly important for this roof type.
