stage and sand
Thu, 6 Jan 2005, 09:38 pmI'm doing a show next year that takes place on the beach, does anyone know the best way of going about purchasing enough sand to cover a stage, how much it would cost, the best way of protecting a stage and getting in and out.
Thanks.
Thanks.

Hi Paul,
I have done a few shows with sand and soil, 2 years ago we covered the entire state theatre stage with red sand.
I have found the guys at BGS sand and soil great to work with, and sometimes they even buy the sand back from you if it is in good condition.
im not sure what theatre you are putting this into but, my suggestions are to lay plastic or tarps on the floor and tape it down.
we used small bob cats and dingos, (dingos are great because they are small and their weight load is minimal) to move the sand around and alot of crew to shovel and rake it over the stage.
you can get a dingo digger from Mark at Complete hire equipment if you need his number give me a call.
if you need any further assistance or help, please feel free to call me on 0395877311
cheers
