The Midi Dome: A Compact, High-Strength Solution for Smaller Events
The Midi Dome was designed specifically for smaller events, offering a compact, high-performance solution that is both versatile and easy to transport. One of its key features is its ability to pack down efficiently, allowing it to fit into aircraft containers, which drastically simplifies logistics for event organizers. Whether it’s a festival, corporate event, or exhibition, the Midi Dome is engineered to provide the same structural integrity as larger domes while minimizing transportation costs.
Efficient Transport and Setup
Unlike many larger event structures that require heavy-duty vehicles for transportation, the Midi Dome’s compact size enables it to be transported using light trucks. This feature is a major advantage for event organizers who need to set up in remote or challenging locations where larger vehicles may be impractical. The Midi Dome also comes equipped with its own decking system, further enhancing its ease of setup and transport. Its efficient design means event teams can get structures in place faster and with fewer resources, reducing both time and labor costs.

High-Strength Materials for Maximum Durability
Despite its smaller size, the Midi Dome is built to withstand demanding conditions, thanks to its use of high-strength materials. The load beams are manufactured from 700 MPa tensile steel, a robust material that provides exceptional strength without adding unnecessary weight. The dome’s extrusions, made from 6082-grade aluminum, are specifically designed to fit the structure’s skins seamlessly. This combination of steel and aluminum ensures the Midi Dome remains lightweight yet incredibly strong, making it capable of withstanding significant loads and external forces.
The Midi Dome 16, with an apex height of 8 meters, eliminates the need for climb rigging, which simplifies the installation process and increases safety for event crews. This feature is particularly valuable for smaller event setups, where ease of assembly is often a priority. Additionally, the membrane extrusions form an integral part of the load beams, contributing to the dome’s overall structural integrity while minimizing additional components.

Designed for Safety and Performance
Safety was a primary consideration in the development of the Midi Dome, which is rated to withstand wind speeds of up to 100 km/h, even when fully loaded. This wind rating makes it suitable for outdoor events in a variety of weather conditions, ensuring that event organizers can rely on its stability. Each arch of the dome is capable of supporting a Uniformly Distributed Load (UDL) of 1,200 kg, offering substantial load capacity for rigging, lighting, sound systems, and other equipment essential for modern events.
Spacious and Functional Design
The Midi Dome offers a generous external width of 15.9 meters (internal width of 15.5 meters), providing ample space for smaller to medium-sized events. This internal space is flexible enough to accommodate stages, seating arrangements, or exhibition setups, while still providing room for efficient circulation and guest comfort.
"Spacious and Functional Design."
The Midi Dome’s white outer membrane, produced by Ferrari in France, is complemented by a black internal membrane, creating a visually striking yet functional environment. The Ferrari 782 membrane used in the dome is fire retardant to M2 specifications, ensuring compliance with the highest safety standards. In addition to its fire-retardant properties, the membrane is highly durable and can be used for up to 20 years in permanent installations, backed by a 7-year warranty. This longevity makes the Midi Dome a sound investment for event organizers who require a reliable, long-lasting structure.
Available in Multiple Sizes
To accommodate varying event sizes, the Midi Dome is available in both 12-meter and 16-meter versions. This flexibility allows event planners to choose the most appropriate size for their needs without sacrificing the structural integrity or performance that In2Structures is known for. Both versions of the Midi Dome retain the same high standards of safety, durability, and ease of transport, making it an ideal choice for event organizers seeking a compact, yet robust solution.
The Midi Dome represents a perfect balance of strength, efficiency, and versatility, making it the ideal structure for smaller to medium-sized events. Its combination of high-performance materials, compact design, and ease of transport ensures that event organizers can rely on it for efficient, safe, and visually impressive setups. Whether it’s a temporary event or a more permanent installation, the Midi Dome delivers outstanding value, performance, and durability.
