Portable Staging (Easydeck)
Doughty Easydeck is a modular portable staging system designed for schools, small theatres, drama studios, village halls, churches and rental companies. Developed after extensive consultation with drama teachers, amateur groups and hire companies, it provides a safe, cost-effective and flexible solution to temporary staging — with no special tools required for assembly.

How Easydeck works
Each module consists of two components — a lightweight steel frame with a black crackle finish and a reversible phenol-coated birch ply deck panel with a smooth surface on one side and a non-slip surface on the other. Modules connect using joint clips and joint channels, with no tools needed. The system can be built in square, rectangular or triangular configurations to suit any space.
