Structure & materials
What you need to know about your structure sur pont boisée
The raised timber-deck structure combines a technical deck in solid timber and an event cover, conceived as a coherent whole for natural, sloping, uneven ground or ground impossible to equip with a standard structure. In high demand for weddings in a forest, at the edge of a vineyard, on sloping ground or beside a watercourse, it solves the siting constraints that marquees and stretch tents cannot cover. The timber deck on adjustable feet compensates for differences in level of up to 1 metre and ensures comfortable circulation, level furniture and visual enhancement of the venue. The cost of hiring a raised timber-deck structure depends on the deck area, the level difference compensated (technical study), the choice of cover (marquee, stretch, sailcloth), the duration and the access complexity. As a guide, the ranges seen in 2026 run from €5,000 to €10,000 excl. VAT for a medium size (100-150 guests, ~150 m²) to €15,000-30,000 excl. VAT for the large sizes on difficult ground (250-400 guests).
Materials & construction
- Technical deck in solid timber (Douglas fir, larch or oak depending on the configuration) on adjustable feet
- Adjustable steel feet: level-difference compensation of up to 1 metre per 4 linear metres
- Associated cover structure: marquee, stretch, sailcloth or silhouette depending on the project
- Optional perimeter guardrail (child safety, level differences > 50 cm)
- Options: lighting recessed into the deck, access stairs, wheelchair-access ramps
For which event?
Wedding in a forest or clearing
For weddings in a forest, a clearing or at the edge of the woods, the raised timber-deck structure lets you set up a reception on natural ground without spoiling the site. The deck protects the forest floor and ensures all the tables are level.
Reception on sloping ground or a vineyard
On sloping ground (vineyard, landscaped garden, terrace of a Provençal farmhouse), the raised timber-deck structure is often the only workable solution. The deck compensates for the slope, the cover sits on the horizontal and the event becomes possible where no standard structure would allow it.
Event beside a river or lake
For events beside a river, lake or pond, the timber deck raises the event above the damp ground and protects the bankside vegetation. The visual result — a wooden deck over the water — is exceptionally photogenic.
Installation on fragile or heritage ground
On fragile ground (a historic lawn, ground listed by the Bâtiments de France, old gravel), the raised timber-deck structure avoids any damage by spreading the loads across the adjustable feet. It allows a prestige reception with no degradation of the site.
What to plan for
- Prior site survey always carried out: topographical survey, ground study, validation of access.
- Setup time: 3 to 7 days depending on area and complexity of the ground. Laying the deck accounts for most of the time.
- Access: variable depending on the site — often constrained in a forest or vineyard. Logistical solutions studied case by case.
- Permissible load: 400 kg/m² by default, reinforceable depending on use (dance floor, heavy furniture).
- Regulations: prior declaration depending on deck area and length of use. Attention for listed sites.
FAQ
The price includes the supply and laying of the technical deck, the prior topographical survey and the associated event cover. As a guide, the ranges seen in 2026 run from €5,000 to €10,000 excl. VAT for a medium size (100-150 guests, ~150 m²) to €15,000-30,000 excl. VAT for the large sizes on difficult ground (250-400 guests), delivery and setup included. The complexity of the ground (significant slope, difficult access, fragile ground) can vary the quote by ±30%.
Three reasons. 1. Slope compensation: the adjustable feet correct slopes of up to 1 m with no earthworks. 2. Ground protection: the raised deck preserves grass, forest floor, vegetation or landscape heritage. 3. Comfort: the levelling ensures all the tables, the dance floor and the furniture are perfectly horizontal. On natural ground, it is almost always the best solution.
Plan 4 to 8 months ahead in high season (May-September) — the structure ties up a specific stock and a dedicated technical team. For complex sites (forest, sloping vineyard, waterside), the prior site survey is always carried out and its lead time is added (2 to 4 weeks).
All the standard event structures: a classic marquee for a versatile volume, a stretch tent for a contemporary signature, sailcloth/silhouette for a prestige result with natural light, even an orangery or glass marquee for very large projects. The choice depends on the number of guests, the budget and the visual effect you are after.
