Frequently Asked Questions About Stage Risers

What is the difference between choir risers and stage risers?

They're often used interchangeably. Choir risers are typically tiered for vocal performances, while stage risers can be flat or multi-tiered platforms used for general performances, seated arrangements, or even band risers.

How much do portable stage risers cost?

Costs for choir risers for sale and portable stage risers vary depending on size, features, and materials. A basic portable stage system may be more budget-friendly, while complete kits with guardrails, skirting, and ramps offer long-term value and convenience for any venue.

How many people can fit on a riser?

A standard 3-level riser measuring 96" wide can accommodate approximately 18 to 24 performers, depending on spacing and configuration. Wider or curved risers, like the pie sections, can extend capacity or create flexible layouts for larger groups.

Are the risers easy to set up and store?

Yes, especially models like the TransPort Choral Risers, which fold flat and roll on casters for efficient storage. Their versatile design makes them easy to transport and ideal for schools, churches, or traveling events where quick setup is essential.

Do the risers come with safety guardrails?

Many models include integrated or optional guardrails, especially solid riser systems designed for elevated use. Products like the Multi-Level Tapered Standing Risers and Stage Packages feature 14-gauge steel rails and even offer compatible ramps for accessibility.

Can I customize my stage riser system for a specific event or space?

Absolutely. Our risers are designed for modularity—mix straight, tapered, seated, or pie-shaped sections to meet your layout needs. Whether you're building an ID-tagged setup for a theater performance or a flexible band riser for an assembly, our systems are built to adapt.
