Practical Guide
OmniDeck panels: fast, safe stadium & event turf protection
OmniDeck is Signature Systems' next-generation modular turf protection system for stadium conversions, concerts, commencements, and high-traffic events. Here's what it is, when to choose HD vs. LD, and how to plan and install it.
6' L × 3' W × 1.5" H (18 ft²)
HD ≈ 58.5 lb · LD ≈ 36 lb
HD up to ~600 psi
LD up to ~200 psi
ADA-compatible ramps
Features
What OmniDeck is — and why it's different
Engineered composite panels
High-density polyethylene (HDPE) with UV resistance and an internal structure focused on strength and durability.
Built-in locks — no loose parts
Interlocking flanges with integrated cam locks speed installation and create smooth, trip-resistant seams.
Omnidirectional build-out
Every exposed edge is a start point — crews build around posts, outlets, and walls without bottlenecks.

HD vs. LD — how to choose
Most stadiums mix both: HD where vehicles and equipment operate, LD where crowds move. Both panels share the 6' × 3' format, so they integrate seamlessly in one layout.
Heavy duty · ~600 psi
OmniDeck HD
The heavy-duty, closed-bottom panel for drivable lanes, lifts, and staging zones. Closed bottom spreads load for vehicle and equipment traffic while protecting the turf beneath.
Light duty · ~200 psi
OmniDeck LD
The light-duty, open-bottom panel that promotes airflow and drainage — ideal for pedestrian and chair-set areas. Lighter to handle and quick to deploy over large crowd zones.
Planning, Coverage & Crew Flow
Plan the layout before you deploy
Coverage math: each module covers 18 ft² — allow a small reduction for overlaps and edge conditions when estimating quantities.
Staging: place pallets at multiple access points so crews can install in parallel, taking advantage of omnidirectional assembly.
Surface prep: aim for level, compact, debris-free surfaces and sweep before install for the best traction and finish.
Ramps & perimeters: add ADA ramps anywhere for accessible transitions and a clean edge detail.
Installation
Step by step
1
Snap a straight reference line for your first course.
2
Seat flanges fully and engage the cam locks; confirm seams are flush.
3
Build outward in multiple directions; omit a panel where subsurface access is needed.
4
Mix HD lanes with LD walkways to balance strength, cost, and airflow.
5
Add ADA ramps at transitions and edges for accessible, trip-resistant perimeters.
Applications
Where OmniDeck excels
Stadium & arena conversions
Protect natural and synthetic fields during concerts, ceremonies, and commencements.
Concerts & large events
Fast, omnidirectional build-out covers large footprints for staging, crowds, and vendors.
Drivable access & staging
HD lanes carry vehicles, lifts, and equipment without damaging the surface beneath.
Pedestrian walkways
LD panels and ADA ramps create accessible, trip-resistant routes for crowds.
Outdoor event flooring
Temporary floors for tents, hospitality, and chair-set areas over grass or dirt.
Industrial & remote sites
Temporary work pads and access where permanent surfaces aren't practical.
Case Study
Stadium concert turf protection
For a major stadium concert, crews staged pallets at multiple access points and built outward in several directions at once — taking advantage of OmniDeck's omnidirectional assembly. HD lanes carried staging vehicles and equipment, while LD panels covered spectator and chair-set areas where airflow and drainage matter.
Outcome: the field was covered and re-opened quickly, the turf stayed protected under traffic and crowd loads, and integrated cam locks delivered a smooth, trip-resistant surface across the whole footprint.

FAQ
Common questions
What's the difference between OmniDeck HD and LD?
HD is the heavy-duty, closed-bottom panel rated up to ~600 psi for drivable lanes, lifts, and staging. LD is the light-duty, open-bottom panel rated up to ~200 psi that promotes airflow and drainage for pedestrian and chair-set areas. Both share the 6' × 3' format and can be mixed in one layout.
How many panels do I need?
Each panel covers 18 ft² (6' × 3'). Divide your area by 18 and allow a small reduction for overlaps and edge conditions. The Event Panel Selector can help scope a layout, or call us with your dimensions.
Can OmniDeck support vehicles?
HD panels are the drivable option, with load guidance up to ~600 psi and actual capacity dependent on the subsurface beneath. A level, compacted base is key to load performance. For specific vehicle weights, check the HD spec sheet or contact us.
Does it work over natural grass?
Yes — OmniDeck protects both natural and synthetic turf. The LD open-bottom panel promotes airflow and drainage, which helps keep grass healthier during longer event coverage; HD spreads heavier loads where vehicles travel.
How long does shipping take?
In-stock items ship out free on every order, typically within one business day when the order is placed before 2 PM Eastern. For large quantities or a firm delivery date, give us a call before ordering.
