Shade Structure
At Distrikt, energy, music, and creativity collide to create an unforgettable festival experience. Known for its high-octane dance floors and immersive atmospheres, Distrikt needed an environment that matched its electrifying energy. Moss delivered with custom fabric structures that enhanced the space while maintaining the seamless, modern aesthetic the event is known for.
Moss revolutionized the shade at Burning Man’s Distrikt camp with an innovative, weather-resistant fabric that spanned 150′ x 75′, providing reliable sun, wind, and rain protection while maintaining vibrant aesthetics throughout the event.
Distrikt is an iconic and enduring presence at Burning Man, known for hosting the festival’s most expansive daytime dance floor. The camp introduced the largest Shade Structure built at the 2023 event, spanning 150’ x 75’, as part of an innovative approach to providing extensive coverage with less hassle.
Our tension-fabric solutions helped transform the venue into a visually striking environment, offering both functionality and design impact. Crafted with precision and made from premium materials, our fabric Shade Structure not only elevated the look and feel of the event but also ensured durability and ease of installation in the fast-paced festival setting.
By integrating custom-shaped fabric panels, bold geometric designs, and dynamic lighting effects, we helped create a presence that amplified the festival’s immersive nature. These fabric elements provided a fluid backdrop that complemented the music and movement, reinforcing the unique character of Distrikt.
This endeavor also served as a real-world trial for Stretch Shapes’ proprietary Outdoor Stretch Fabric (OSF) designed to withstand the rigors of the outdoor event environment—sunlight, winds, and rain shedding. Impressively, the fabric endured over three weeks of the harsh Nevada climate without a tear or color fade, effectively shedding three consecutive days of downpours before returning to its original state.
At Moss, we specialize in bringing creative visions to life, whether for festivals, concerts, or large-scale events. Our commitment to high-quality, tensioned fabric designs ensures that every project makes an impact.
