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:
- Start by attaching a Global Truss F34 ST-UJB-12 Junction Block at the top of one of the corner vertical posts.
- Then, connect a Global Truss F34 Box Truss 9.02 ft long to the junction block.
- Add another 9.02 ft truss to reach the middle of the long side, where you’ll attach another ST-UJB-12 junction block.
- 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).
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
