Site Requirements
Power outlets must be supplied by the client. If suitable power is not available, Treadway Events can supply a generator for an additional charge.
The standard pricing is based on venue locations where the screen can be safely staked into the ground. If staking is not permitted, ballast blocks or water barrels will be required and billed at an additional charge.
The client must provide a large enough viewing area for the screen, projector throw distance, audience seating, vehicle parking if applicable, and safe guest flow.
Outdoor movie events are weather-dependent. Wind, rain, and unsafe conditions may impact setup or operation. Treadway Events can help review basic site and weather considerations during the planning process.
Drive-In Movie Screen Rental
Our 40’ movie screen can also be used for drive-in movie nights in parking lots and other large paved or open areas. Drive-in events are a strong option for cities, schools, churches, malls, corporate campuses, fairgrounds, and community organizations that want a nostalgic outdoor entertainment experience.
The screen can support approximately 350 to 500 cars, depending on the parking layout, screen placement, sightlines, and site dimensions.
For drive-in movie nights, additional audio solutions may be needed, such as FM transmission or a larger site-specific audio plan. Treadway Events can help recommend the best setup based on your location and audience size.
