Flats that flex with your vision

Our scenic flats are the backbone of any great set. Designed with versatility in mind, Simply Set System flats are available in a variety of heights (3ft – 12ft) and widths (2ft – 4ft) and come with a range of customizable accessories to fit the design of any production

Flats are the essential building blocks of theatrical scenery, used to create everything from simple walls and doorways to entire architectural environments on stage. Lightweight yet sturdy, they allow designers to quickly transform a space, suggest locations, and frame the action without the need for permanent construction. Whether painted, fabric-covered, or dressed with set pieces, flats provide the visual backbone of a production, helping to tell the story and immerse the audience.

The modular nature of the Simply Set System means they can be reconfigured for different shows, making them a practical and creative cornerstone of any set design. With a quick lick of paint, flats can be used year-on-year to create multiple different environments.

Paintable Handrail Pieces: Safety with Style

No set is complete without attention to the finer details—and safety is one of the most important. Our 2ft and 3ft high solid handrail pieces are specifically designed to bolt securely onto the side of deck platforms, providing a safe, stable barrier that enhances both the form and function of your set.

The solid, paintable front allows these pieces to be designed and dressed to fit seamlessly with the rest of your set.

Whether you’re building a raised walkway, a multi-level scene, or just want to add an extra layer of polish to your stage edges, our handrail pieces are the finishing touch that ties it all together.
