What we offer
Single Flat
A single-tier float is a parade float designed with one flat, continuous platform that serves as the base for all decorations, displays, and participants. This streamlined design allows for a cohesive presentation, making it ideal for showcasing intricate details, themed elements, or performances on a single level. Often constructed on a trailer or flatbed truck, single-tier floats are versatile and can feature creative elements such as 3D props, vibrant lighting, floral arrangements, or costumed performers. These floats are widely used in parades of all sizes, providing a straightforward yet impactful way to convey a theme or message.
Double Decker
A two-tier float is a type of parade float that features a multi-level design, typically with two distinct platforms or "tiers," one positioned above the other. This layout allows for greater visual impact and the opportunity to incorporate intricate themes, decorations, and performances across both levels. The lower tier often serves as the foundation, featuring elements such as props, lighting, or a stage for performers, while the upper tier provides an elevated area for additional displays, seated participants, or special effects. Two-tier floats are popular in events like Mardi Gras, holiday parades, and festivals, where creativity and grandeur are key.
