A-Frame Event Structures: Versatile Outdoor Rentals
A-Frame event structures are redefining outdoor events across Arizona, offering a bold architectural statement paired with unmatched versatility. Whether you’re hosting an intimate gathering or a large-scale celebration, these timber-inspired structures bring the perfect blend of function, style, and Southwest charm to any event setting.
At Epic Party Team, our Arcadia A-Frame event structure were designed to elevate outdoor experiences—from luxury dining under the stars to cozy lounge moments and statement bar setups. Recently showcased on the Fairmont lawn, these structures proved just how adaptable they are, seamlessly transitioning between dining, lounge, and bar configurations while maintaining a cohesive, elevated aesthetic.
One of the standout features of our A-Frame event structure is their flexibility in both size and use. Available in configurations ranging from 1 to 6 gables, the standard setup begins at 18 feet wide and 10 feet deep and can be expanded up to 50 feet long. That means you can host an unforgettable outdoor dining experience for up to 50 guests under a single continuous structure—a true showstopper for weddings, corporate dinners, and branded activations.
These structures are equally impactful when styled as:
A covered dining experience
A relaxed lounge area
A striking bar installation
Or a combination of all three within the same footprint
At the Fairmont lawn, we demonstrated this versatility by pairing the A-Frames with long dining layouts, conversational lounge groupings, and a full bar setup—all under one cohesive design vision.
Our A-Frame structures offer two visual options depending on the atmosphere you want to create.
The white canopy top delivers a polished, finished look that softens sunlight during the day and reflects ambient lighting beautifully at night. It’s ideal for daytime events, weddings, and elevated corporate functions.
For clients wanting a more architectural, organic feel, the open “naked” top option highlights the timber frame itself—perfect for sunset dinners, desert-inspired events, and evenings under the stars. Both options offer the same structural integrity and visual impact, allowing planners to tailor the look to their event style.
Lighting is where A-Frame event structure truly shine. Each structure is engineered and tested for safety, allowing chandeliers up to 100 pounds to be hung from the center beam. This makes it easy to create dramatic focal points above dining tables or lounges.
Bistro lighting is also a popular option, weaving warmth and ambiance throughout the structure. Paired with statement tables like our dark brown Sawyer table or styled lounge moments featuring our Avery chairs, the result is a space that feels intentional, immersive, and unforgettable.
For inspiration on outdoor event lighting trends, we recommend referencing design guidance from Architectural Digest’s outdoor entertaining features for ideas on layering light and structure in open-air environments.
While the aesthetic is stunning, safety is always our top priority. These A-Frame event structures are professionally engineered and require secure anchoring to ensure stability in outdoor environments.
There are two approved anchoring methods:
Ground stakes driven approximately 48 inches into grass or soil
Heavy concrete blocks weighing several hundred pounds for hard surfaces
The default setup is staked into grass, with additional charges applying for concrete, pavers, indoor installations, or other non-grass surfaces. It’s important to note that anchoring may leave marks, holes, or compression depending on the surface, and by booking the structure, clients acknowledge and accept these installation requirements.
Each A-Frame installation requires approximately six hours for setup, ensuring everything is secure, level, and event-ready.
With Arizona’s long outdoor season, A-Frame event structures are ideal for weddings, corporate events, brand activations, and social celebrations. Their ability to scale in size and function makes them especially appealing for planners managing complex layouts or multi-purpose event spaces.
Paired with elevated rentals like our Serpentine Tables for dynamic dining layouts or styled lounges beneath the frame, these structures act as both shelter and design anchor.
From intimate dinners to expansive celebrations, our Arcadia A-Frame event structures create unforgettable outdoor environments that feel intentional, architectural, and effortlessly elevated. Whether you envision a glowing chandelier-lit dinner, a relaxed lounge under timber beams, or a statement bar moment, these structures are designed to support your vision—beautifully and safely.
