I work in events. That is a very temporary structure. The frame is aluminum trussing, and although it would hold up fairly well, all of the fabric will start bleaching within 3-4 weeks, the metal chains holding everything up will start rusting pretty quickly being exposed to the elements. The lights themselves aren’t IP rated and are relying on the fabric for protection so those will fail pretty quickly. Finally the stage itself has a wood underlayment that will rot within a single season if left outside.

Lastly it’s all rented and the rental company will continue to charge the client until it’s returned.
