contents A multisection, or $n$-section, of an $(n + 1)$-dimensional manifold is a decomposition of this manifold into $n$ $1$-handlebodies of dimension $n+1$, such that all these handlebodies intersect along a closed surface, and every subcollection of $k$ handlebodies intersects along an $(n - k + 2)$-dimensional $1$-handlebody. This concept, due to Ben Aribi, Courte, Golla and Moussard, generalizes to any dimension Heegaard splittings and Gay and Kirby's trisections. If any $(n+1)$-manifold admits a multisection for $n \leq 4$, there are yet no general existence results for $n \geq 5$. In this article, we provide a class of examples of multisected manifolds in all dimensions. We extend the concept of $4$-dimensional spun manifolds to any dimension, and construct multisections and their associated multisection diagrams for the class of $m$-spun $3$-manifolds, of dimension $m+3$, for any $m$. This allows us to give infinitely many examples of non-diffeomorphic multisected manifolds, in all dimensions.
