Emmanuel Josue

Shout out and If you’re ready to impress at your next event, the Global Truss 10' x 40' Display Booth Truss System with a center beam is the setup you need. Whether you’re showcasing your products at a trade show or setting the stage for a killer DJ performance, this truss system is the ideal choice for versatility and durability. And don’t worry—it’s easy to assemble! Let’s get this show on the road.

Materials You’ll Need:

  • 6 x Global Truss F34 Box Truss 8.2 ft long (Vertical posts)
  • 2 x Global Truss F34 Box Truss 7.38 ft long (Horizontal width)
  • 1 x Global Truss F34 Box Truss 7.38 ft long (Center beam)
  • 8 x Global Truss F34 Box Truss 9.02 ft long (Horizontal length)
  • 6 x Global Truss F34 ST-UJB-12 Junction Blocks (4 corners + 2 middle connectors)
  • 6 x Global Truss F34 SQ-4137 Base Plates

 

Step 1: Setting the Base – Base Plates and Vertical Posts

Begin by placing your SQ-4137 base plates in position to form the 10-foot by 40-foot footprint of your display booth. Place 4 base plates at the corners and 2 in the middle along the long sides, spaced evenly at 20 feet.

Now, attach the 6 vertical posts using the Global Truss F34 Box Truss 8.2 ft long segments. These will form the supporting pillars of your structure. Each vertical post is secured to the base plates, giving you the backbone for your truss system.

Step 2: Building the Long Sides – Horizontal Length Trusses

Let’s tackle the long sides first. For each 40-foot side, you’ll need to follow this sequence:

  1. Start by attaching a Global Truss F34 ST-UJB-12 Junction Block at the top of one of the corner vertical posts.
  2. Then, connect a Global Truss F34 Box Truss 9.02 ft long to the junction block.
  3. Add another 9.02 ft truss to reach the middle of the long side, where you’ll attach another ST-UJB-12 junction block.
  4. Repeat the process by connecting the second set of 2 x 9.02 ft trusses to extend the long side up to the next corner junction block.

So, each long side of your booth is connected like this:
ST-UJB-12 (corner) + 2 x 9.02 ft Box Trusses + ST-UJB-12 (middle) + 2 x 9.02 ft Box Trusses + ST-UJB-12 (corner).

Repeat the process for the other 40-foot long side.

These connections form the strong horizontal beams, giving the booth excellent stability and making it a solid foundation for hanging lighting or banners. The stage trussing on these long sides is key to supporting any equipment you plan to display.

 

Step 3: Connecting the Short Sides – Horizontal Width Trusses

Next, let’s move to the short sides. For the front and back widths of the booth, you’ll be using the 2 x Global Truss F34 Box Trusses (7.38 ft long).

  1. Attach the 7.38 ft trusses to the ST-UJB-12 junction blocks at the front and back corners to form the short left and right sides, completing the rectangular frame.
  2. The width trusses will give the booth a strong, defined shape, ensuring that everything is connected securely for maximum stability.

Step 4: Installing the Center Beam – Adding Extra Support

Now, it’s time to install the center beam. This is what will add that extra level of stability to your truss system, especially if you’re planning to hang lighting trusses or other equipment.

  1. Take the remaining Global Truss F34 Box Truss (7.38 ft long) and attach it between the two middle vertical posts using the ST-UJB-12 junction blocks on top of the posts.
  2. The center beam will run parallel to the width trusses, acting as the backbone for additional structural support.

Step 5: Securing and Final Adjustments

Once all the trusses are connected and your Global Truss 10' x 40' Display Booth is standing tall, it’s time to secure everything in place. Double-check all the junction block connections to ensure they’re tight and solid.

Give the structure a little shake test—if everything feels firm and sturdy, you’re good to go. The stage trussing should feel secure, especially along the long sides where the center beam provides extra reinforcement.

Emmanuel Josue

The Ultimate Guide to Setting Up Your Event’s Centerpiece

If you’ve ever been to a live event or show and marveled at the seamless setups, sleek lighting rigs, and stunning displays, there’s a good chance you were gazing at a Global Truss system in action. Today, I’m going to walk you through erecting a Global Truss F33 10x10-ft Triangle Goal Post System, which is perfect for stages, DJ setups, or trade show booths.

The great thing about this 10x10-ft Triangle Goal Post is that it’s not only versatile but also super easy to assemble—even if you’ve never done it before. And trust me, once you see it in action, you’ll understand why it’s a must-have in the event industry.

What’s in the Box?

Before we jump into the build, let’s go over the components that’ll bring this baby to life:

  • 2 x Global Truss TR-4088-I Corner Pieces
  • 1 x Global Truss TR-4079 6.56' Triangle Truss Segment (horizontal beam)
  • 2 x Global Truss TR-4080 8.2' Triangle Truss Segments (vertical posts)
  • 2 x Global Truss 1x4-ft Steel Base Plates

These sturdy components come together to form a rock-solid goal post structure, ideal for hanging lighting trusses, banners, video screens, or even a slick entrance arch.

Step 1: Set the Foundation with Global Truss Base Plates

You’ve got your steel Global Truss 1x4-ft BASEPLATES laid out in front of you, which are the foundation of your system. These hefty plates provide stability and ensure your truss stands firm, no matter how much equipment you hang from it.

Place both base plates 10 feet apart. Make sure they’re aligned and secure on a flat surface. Whether you’re indoors or outdoors, these steel bad boys will keep your setup from wobbling.

Step 2: Assemble the Vertical Posts

Next, grab the Global Truss TR-4080 8.2' Triangle Truss Segments. These two pieces will be your vertical posts. Using the Global Truss TR-4088-I Corner Pieces, attach the bottom of each vertical post to the base plates. The corner pieces give a solid connection point and ensure the structure remains sturdy.

You’ll want to ensure everything is nice and snug here because the vertical posts are going to support most of the weight when you attach the horizontal beam. Double-check your connections—it’s always better to be safe than sorry!

Step 3: Attach the Horizontal Beam

Now comes the fun part. Take the Global Truss TR-4079 6.56' Triangle Truss Segment and attach it horizontally across the top of the two vertical posts. This is where the magic happens—your structure is coming together!

Make sure to carefully align the ends of the horizontal beam with the top of the vertical posts, using the Global Truss TR-4088-I Corner Pieces to secure everything in place. If you’ve got an extra pair of hands or a couple of step ladders, this part will be a breeze.

This truss beam is where you’ll hang your lights, video screens, banners, or whatever else you have in mind. The triangular design provides superior strength, allowing you to load it up without worrying about sagging or bending.

Step 4: Secure & Final Adjustments

Once everything is connected and standing tall, give it all a once-over. Tug on the connections to make sure nothing’s loose, and make any final adjustments to the placement. It’s always a good idea to level everything out, especially if you’re setting up on uneven ground.

Pro tip: If you’re using this for a stage, concert, or event, make sure to test out any hanging equipment or Global Truss lighting trusses before the big day. You want to ensure your truss can handle the load you plan to put on it.

Ready, Set, Shine!

Let’s Set Up a Global Truss 10' X 20' Display Booth Truss System with Center Beam

Emmanuel Josue

Welcome to the wonderful world of stage trussing, where engineering meets art to create eye-catching, structurally sound display booths. Today, we’re setting up a Global Truss 10' x 20' Display Booth Truss  System with a center beam—ideal for any trade show or event space that demands attention. Let’s dive in!

The Key Players: Your Trussing Essentials

To build this 10' x 20' beauty, we’ll be using the following materials:

  • 4 x Global Truss F34 Box Truss 8.2 ft long (for vertical posts)
  • 2 x Global Truss F34 Box Truss 7.38 ft long (for horizontal width)
  • 1 x Global Truss F34 Box Truss 7.38 ft long (for the center beam)
  • 4 x Global Truss F34 Box Truss 8.2 ft long (for horizontal length)
  • 6 x Global Truss F34 ST-UJB-12 Junction Blocks (for corners and middle connectors)
  • 4 x Global Truss F34 Box Truss SQ-4137 Base Plates (for a solid foundation)

With these products from famousstages.com, you’re all set to construct a lightweight, durable display booth that’ll turn heads and boost your event presence!

Step 1: Lay the Foundation

The first step is all about creating a sturdy base. Start by placing the 4 SQ-4137 Base Plates at the corners of your 10' x 20' booth area. These base plates will keep your vertical posts secure and grounded.

Next, grab your 8.2 ft F34 Box Truss pieces and slot them into the base plates to form the vertical posts. These will give your booth its height and form the backbone of the structure. Tighten all connections so these posts stand tall and steady.

Step 2: Assembling the Top Horizontal Trusses

Now comes the fun part—building the top structure. This part is crucial for both stability and style, so let’s get it right.

The Long Sides (20 feet):

You’ll use two 8.2 ft F34 Box Truss pieces on each side of the booth. Here’s how you’ll connect them:

  • Connect the two 8.2 ft F34 Box Truss pieces using a Global Truss F34 ST-UJB-12 Junction Block at the middle point.
  • Attach a ST-UJB-12 junction block at each end to connect the trusses to the vertical posts.

By the end of this step, you’ll have two long sides, each composed of two 8.2 ft trusses, with ST-UJB-12 junction blocks at both ends and in the middle where the trusses meet. This gives your booth a solid 20-foot length on both sides.

The Short Sides (10 feet):

For the front and back, use the 7.38 ft F34 Box Truss pieces. Connect each end of these trusses to the ST-UJB-12 Junction Blocks at the corners of your long sides, forming the 10-foot width. These short sides complete the rectangular frame of the top.

Step 3: The Center Beam for Extra Support

Now, it’s time to add the center beam. This beam will not only add an extra layer of stability but will also give your booth a stylish, modern look.

  • Use the final 7.38 ft F34 Box Truss for the center beam. Connect each end to the ST-UJB-12 Junction Blocks in the middle of the long sides. This will split the roof structure evenly down the middle, adding extra strength and allowing for more lighting or hanging banners if needed.

With the center beam in place, your top truss structure is complete. It should now resemble a sleek, rectangular frame with a central support running down the middle.

<p data-mce-fragment=Step 4: Final Touches and Adjustments

Step 2: Construct the Vertical Posts

The system requires four vertical posts, each with a different configuration of trusses and junctions. Let’s break it down:

  • Post 1 and Post 4:
    • Use 1 SQ-4112-215 7.05 Ft truss connected to 1 SQ-4109 0.95 Ft truss and add SQ-4110 3.28 Ft truss.

Step 4: Assemble the Horizontal Truss – First Level

For the middle-level horizontal structure, use the two Global Truss SQ-4112 6.56 Ft trusses. These will be attached between Post 2 and Post 3 on both sides of the finish line:

  • Attach the trusses to the ST-UJB-12 Junction Boxes which is on top of each SQ-4112-215 located in the middle of post 2 and post 3. This forms the first horizontal truss level, providing mid-height support.

 

Step 5: Build the Topmost Horizontal Structure

The top horizontal structure will form the upper frame of the finish line. Here’s how to build it:

  • Connect 2 Global Truss SQ-4112 6.56 Ft trusses across the top of Post 2 and Post 3.
  • Then, between Posts 1 and 2, connect a SQ-4110 3.28 Ft truss using ST-UJB-12 Junction Boxes at both ends. Repeat the same for the truss between Posts 3 and 4.
  • These connections form the topmost horizontal structure of the finish line.

Using the ST-UJB/C-12 1/2 Coupler with Allen Bolts, make sure every truss connection—whether vertical, horizontal, or corner—is tightly secured. These couplers will lock the trusses in place and prevent any unwanted movement during the event.

Step 7: Add Lighting, Banners, or Equipment

With the Global Truss F34 24x13 Finish Line fully assembled, you now have the perfect structure to hang lighting trusses, banners, or DJ lighting trusses. The finish line is strong enough to support everything from stage trussing to heavy-duty trade show display trusses.

Emmanuel Josue

Ready to create a rock-solid, professional-grade setup for your next event or trade show? If you’re in the market for a robust and stylish trussing solution, the Global Truss F33 20x10-Ft Triangle Goal Post Truss System is your answer. Whether you’re setting up lighting, DJ equipment, or staging for an epic performance, this package is easy to assemble, reliable, and gives you that sleek, professional finish everyone loves.

Let’s walk through how to assemble this truss system step-by-step in a fun, easy-to-follow guide!

Materials You’ll Need (Already Included)

  • 2 x Global Truss TR-4088-I Corner (for the right and left tops of your goal post)
  • 4 x Global Truss TR-4080 8.2' Triangle Truss Segment (2 for the vertical posts, and 2 for the horizontal top truss)
  • 2 x Global Truss BASE PLATE 1X4-ft. Steel Base Plate

Step 1: Lay the Foundation with the Steel Base Plates

First things first, you’ll need to set a solid foundation. Grab the 1x4-ft. steel base plates—these hefty guys will serve as the anchor for your vertical trusses. Place them on the ground, approximately 20 feet apart from each other, which will be the width of your truss system.

Make sure the base plates are level and secure because we want this setup to stay sturdy through all the excitement. Think of them as the rock-solid shoes that your truss will be standing on!

Step 2: Set Up the Vertical Posts

Next, it’s time to get those vertical posts standing tall. For this, you’ll use two of the TR-4080 8.2' triangle truss segments. These will act as the legs of your goal post system.

Carefully position each truss on top of the steel base plates and secure them with the provided connection points. If you have a buddy to help, this part will go smoother. It’s always good to have a friend along to hold things steady while you lock everything in place.

Step 3: Attach the TR-4088-I Corners

Now that your vertical posts are upright and stable, it’s time to add the TR-4088-I corner pieces. These will connect the vertical legs to the horizontal top truss, forming that signature goal post shape. One TR-4088-I corner will go on the top of the left vertical post, and the other on the right.

These corner pieces are more than just connectors—they’re what give the truss its shape and strength. Plus, they add a cool, industrial look to your setup!

Step 4: Add the Horizontal Top Truss

Now for the exciting part—the top horizontal truss! You’ll need the remaining two TR-4080 8.2' triangle truss segments. Connect these two pieces to form one long, sleek, 20-foot horizontal truss.

With the help of a few extra hands, raise this connected horizontal truss and secure it to the TR-4088-I corners on top of your vertical posts. Once it’s locked in, step back and admire the full structure taking shape!

Step 5: Final Checks and Finishing Touches

How to Build a Global Truss 10x10, 10x20, & 20x20 Modular Trade Show Exhibit Booth (3 in 1)

Emmanuel Josue

Alright, trade show warriors, picture this: You’ve got an event around the corner, and you need a booth that wows but doesn’t take forever to set up. Whether you’re running a sleek 10x10, doubling up with a 10x20, or going all out with a massive 20x20 booth, Global Truss America has you covered. Their modular truss system gives you three booth sizes—using the same kit—so you can flex depending on your event space. Pretty cool, right?

Let’s walk you through how to set up this 3-in-1 Modular Global Truss Trade Show Exhibit Booth and steal the show!

Materials You Need

Here’s the lowdown on the materials you’ll use:

  • 4 SQ-4137 12"x12" base plates (because a sturdy booth is non-negotiable)
  • 4 SQ-4126 3-way corners (these are your secret weapon for flexibility)
  • 4 SQ-4112 6.56ft trusses (perfect for tight spaces)
  • 4 SQ-4114 9.84ft trusses (for when you want to stretch out)
  • 4 SQ-4113 8.2ft truss legs (your booth’s foundation)

Ready? Let’s build this thing!

 

Step 1: Lay the Groundwork—Literally

The foundation of any successful trade show booth starts with the SQ-4137 base plates. These solid 12"x12" plates are like the legs on a sturdy table—no wobbling, no worries. Place them at the four corners where your vertical legs will stand, spacing them depending on your layout:

  • 10x10 Booth: 10 feet apart in a square.
  • 10x20 Booth: 10 feet apart on the shorter side and 20 feet across.
  • 20x20 Booth: Go big and square, with 20 feet between the bases.

This is where you visualize your booth—kind of like laying out where your furniture will go in a new space!

 

Step 2: Go Vertical with Stage Trussing

Next, it’s time to give your booth some height! Take your SQ-4113 8.2ft truss legs and attach them to the base plates. These legs are the backbone of your structure, so make sure everything’s snug and secure. The solid stage trussing makes sure your booth isn’t just tall but strong and reliable, holding up whatever displays you’ve got planned.

Step 3: Assemble the Horizontal Trusses

Now for the fun part—connecting the horizontal trusses! Depending on your booth size, here’s what you do:

  • For a 10x10 booth: Use your SQ-4112 6.56ft trusses for the sides, creating a perfect square.
  • For a 10x20 booth: Combine the 6.56ft trusses with SQ-4114 9.84ft trusses (for the  2 long sides) to stretch it out and the 6.56 ft trusses for the  2 short sides. This gives you more room for product displays or branding.
  • For a 20x20 booth: Use the 6.56 ft + 9.84ft trusses on all sides to maximize your space and presence.

Use the SQ-4126 3-way 90 degree corners to connect the four corners of the horizontal truss structure. These connectors allow you to shape your booth however you like—whether you’re keeping things compact or expanding to take up more space.

Emmanuel Josue

Are you ready to create a jaw-dropping trade show booth display that will have people flocking to your space? Look no further than the Global Truss 20x20 F34 Double Tier Trade Show Display System. This setup is perfect for making a lasting impression at expo booths, portable exhibits, and home show displays. With a little effort, you'll have a strong, durable aluminum truss system that looks sleek and professional. Let's walk through the step-by-step assembly process.

Materials Checklist:

  • 4 pcs. Global Truss SQ-4110 F34 12-inch Aluminum Box Truss (3.28 ft. long)
  • 12 pcs. Global Truss SQ-4113 F34 12-inch Aluminum Box Truss (8.20 ft. long)
  • 8 pcs. Global Truss SQ-4114 F34 12-inch Aluminum Box Truss (9.84 ft. long)
  • 8 pcs. Global Truss ST-UJB-12 Universal Junction Block
  • 12 pcs. Global Truss ST-UJB/C-12 1/2 Coupler with Alien Bolt (4 Pack)
  • 4 pcs. Global Truss SQ-4137 Base Plate 12x12-inch for F34 Square Truss

Now, let’s dive into the step-by-step guide!

Step 1: Setting the Base Plates

First, you’ll want to define your 20x20 area. Place the four Global Truss SQ-4137 Base Plates on each corner of the 20'x20' space. These base plates are the foundation of your display and provide the strength needed to support both tiers of the structure.

Step 2: Positioning the Vertical Posts

Next, set up your vertical posts. Place four Global Truss SQ-4113 Aluminum Box Trusses (8.20 ft. long) on top of the base plates. These posts will form the corners of your first tier. Make sure everything is aligned and firmly in place—this is crucial for the stability of the entire structure.

Step 3: Build the First Horizontal Square Structure

Now, let’s create the horizontal structure for the first tier. For each side, you will need to combine one SQ-4113 Truss (8.20 ft.) with one SQ-4114 Truss (9.84 ft.). This forms a sturdy 20x20 square frame.

Secure the four corners using the Global Truss ST-UJB-12 Universal Junction Blocks, and your first level is almost complete. The aluminum lighting truss is ideal for setups that require durability and lightweight flexibility, making it perfect for lighting truss systems.

Step 4: Raise the Horizontal Structure

Now comes the fun part—raising the structure! With the help of a few friends and possibly some step ladders, lift the horizontal square structure and attach it to the vertical posts using the ST-UJB-12 Junction Blocks. Once this is securely in place, you’ve completed the first tier.

Step 5: Adding the Second-Level Vertical Posts

For the second tier, you will now attach the shorter Global Truss SQ-4110 Trusses (3.28 ft. long) to the four corners on top of the first horizontal structure. These shorter trusses will act as the vertical posts for the second level, which will give your display an impressive height, perfect for showcasing products or branding.

Step 6: Assemble the Second Horizontal Square Structure

Just like you did with the first level, assemble the second-tier horizontal square structure. Again, you’ll use one SQ-4113 Truss (8.20 ft.) and one SQ-4114 Truss (9.84 ft.) for each side. Connect these trusses to the vertical posts using ST-UJB-12 Universal Junction Blocks, forming the second level of your double-tier structure.

Emmanuel Josue

Welcome to the world of trussing, where aluminum meets ambition and creativity takes center stage! Whether you're setting up for a concert, trade show, or epic DJ performance, the right truss system is the backbone of your event. Today, we’re diving into how to build a sturdy and sleek Global Truss 20x15 F34 Finish Line using some top-notch materials. Let’s get those stage trusses ready to shine!

Materials You’ll Need:

  • 8 pcs. F34 12-inch Aluminum Box Truss 3.28 ft long:
    • 4 pcs. for the slant base legs
    • 2 pcs. for vertical trusses on top of the SQ-UJB in the middle of the slant base legs
    • 2 pcs. for the shorter sides of the upper rectangular truss structure
  • 4 pcs. F34 12-inch Aluminum Box Truss 9.02 ft long:
    • For the longer sides of the upper rectangular structure (2 pairs of 2 pcs.)
  • 8 pcs. 2-way 135-degree Corners:
    • 4 pcs. connected to the base plates
    • 4 pcs. connected to the SQ-UJB of the slant base legs
  • 4 pcs. Base Plate 2x2 ft:
    • Connecting the slant base leg structure
  • 6 pcs. SQ-UJB-12 Universal Junction Box:
    • 2 pcs. connected to the slant base legs
    • 4 pcs. connecting the four corners of the upper rectangular structure
  • 4 pcs. SQ-UJB Couplers (4 Pack):

 

Step 1: Setting Up the Base – Slant Legs to the Rescue!

Let's kick things off with the foundation of your finish line. First, place your 4 Base Plates on the ground in a rectangle measuring 20 feet by 10 feet. Next, connect one 2-way 135-degree Corner to each Base Plate.

Now, take your F34 12-inch Aluminum Box Truss 3.28 ft long pieces and connect one to each of the four 2-way 135-degree Corners that are attached to the Base Plates. These trusses will form the slant legs that give your structure its signature look.

Once the trusses are in place, connect another 2-way 135-degree Corner to the top end of each truss. To stabilize the structure, connect two of these top corners with an SQ-UJB-12 in the middle, effectively creating a horizontal connection between the slant legs. Repeat this process for the other set of slant legs. These steps ensure your base is both stylish and solid!

Step 2: Going Vertical – Raise the Roof!

Now that your base is solid, it's time to lift things up. Take the remaining two F34 12-inch Aluminum Box Truss 3.28 ft pieces and attach them vertically on top of the SQ-UJB-12 that’s sitting pretty in the middle of your slant base legs. These vertical trusses will form the backbone of your structure, giving it height and presence.

Step 3: Building and Raising the Upper Rectangular Structure

Now, it’s time to focus on the upper rectangular structure. Start by laying out the trusses on the ground to form the rectangle. Connect the two F34 12-inch Aluminum Box Truss 3.28 ft pieces to the F34 12-inch Aluminum Box Truss 9.02 ft pieces to form the sides of the rectangle. Use the remaining SQ-UJB-12 Universal Junction Boxes to connect the four corners, ensuring everything is secure.

With the upper rectangular structure fully assembled on the ground, gather enough people and step ladders. Carefully lift the entire structure and position it on top of the vertical trusses and slant base legs. Once in place, ensure all connections are tight and secure.

How to Assemble a Global Truss F34 16x15 Finish Line: A Step-by-Step Guide

Emmanuel Josue

Planning for an event can be stressful, but assembling the Global Truss F34 16x15 Finish Line doesn’t have to be. Whether it's for a trade show, concert, or other special event, this guide will walk you through the process with ease, ensuring your structure is both sturdy and impressive.

Let’s dive into the assembly!

Materials You’ll Need:

  • 6 pcs. Global Truss SQ-4110 F34 12-inch Aluminum Box Truss (3.28 ft long): Four for the base and two for the shorter sides of the upper rectangular structure.
  • 4 pcs. Global Truss SQ-4112 F34 12-inch Aluminum Box Truss (6.56 ft long): These will make up the long sides of the upper rectangular structure.
  • 4 pcs. Global Truss ST-5050 Corner (Optional): These provide additional support for the corners, making the structure more sturdy.
  • 6 pcs. Global Truss ST-UJB-12 Universal Junction Block: Used to secure the corners of the upper rectangular structure.
  • 6 pcs. Global Truss ST-UJB/C12 1/2 Coupler with Alien Bolt (4Pack): These will help you secure your junction blocks and trusses firmly.
  • 4 pcs. Global Truss SQ-4111 F34 12-inch Aluminum Box Truss (4.92 ft long): These will be connected in pairs to create the two vertical posts.

Step 1: Lay the Foundation—Literally!

Start with the base. The base will be composed of two sets of two SQ-4110 3.28 ft trusses. Connect each pair using an ST-UJB-12 Universal Junction Block in the middle. Position these two connected truss sets parallel to each other, 16 feet apart.

Ensure these bases are aligned properly, as they will provide the necessary stability.

Step 2: Assemble the Vertical Posts

 

Now, it's time to assemble the vertical posts. Each post is composed of two SQ-4111 4.92 ft trusses connected together.

 

Once assembled, connect each vertical post on top of the ST-UJB-12 blocks in the middle of the bases.

Step 3: Construct the Upper Rectangular Structure

 

With the vertical posts in place, it’s time to build the upper rectangular structure. Use the two remaining SQ-4110 3.28 ft trusses for the shorter sides and the four SQ-4112 6.56 ft trusses for the longer sides.

Assemble the upper rectangle on the ground first, securing the corners with the ST-UJB-12 blocks. If you want to add extra stability, you can opt to use the ST-5050 Corner Braces at each corner. While these braces are optional, they provide additional sturdiness, ensuring your structure stands firm even in demanding conditions.

Once the rectangle is assembled, carefully lift it onto the tops of the vertical posts. Attach it using the ST-UJB-12 blocks and secure everything with the ST-UJB/C12 1/2 Couplers.

Step 4: Double-Check and Secure

With the structure fully assembled, it's time to inspect every connection. Check that each junction block, truss, and coupler is securely fastened. If you've used the optional ST-5050 corner braces, make sure they are properly tightened.

A quick stability test will help ensure that your setup is rock solid and ready for action.

Step 5: Stand Back and Admire Your Work
