How to Assemble a Global Truss F34 10x38 ft Trade Show Booth with a Middle Top Front Open
If you're planning a trade show booth, DJ setup, or convention display, the Global Truss F34 10x38 ft Trade Show Booth is an excellent solution. With a sturdy aluminum truss frame, this design keeps the middle front open, creating a welcoming space for guests while providing ample structure for banners, lighting truss, and other event essentials.
In this guide, we’ll break down the assembly process step by step, making it both easy and entertaining—because setting up your stage truss system should be just as exciting as the event itself! 🎉
What’s in the Package?
Your Global Truss F34 10x38 ft Trade Show Booth package includes:
✔ 7 x Global Truss F34 Box Truss 8.2 ft – Used for vertical posts and back horizontal trusses.
✔ 2 x Global Truss F34 Box Truss 7.38 ft – Forms the left and right top sides.
✔ 4 x Global Truss F34 Box Truss 8.2 ft – Creates the top back horizontal trusses.
✔ 7 x Global Truss F34 ST-UJB-12 Junction Blocks – Used at the four corners and along the back horizontal trusses.
✔ 7 x Global Truss F34 SQ-4137 Base Plates – Provides a stable foundation for the vertical trusses.
Step 1: Position the Base Plates
Start by placing the 7 base plates in their correct positions:
- Four base plates at the corners (front-left, front-right, back-left, and back-right).
- Three base plates evenly spaced along the back side to support the extra vertical posts.
💡 Pro Tip: If setting up on an uneven surface, use leveling pads or sandbags for added stability.
Step 2: Install the Vertical Posts
Attach the 7 vertical 8.2 ft Global Truss F34 Box Trusses onto the base plates:
- Four vertical trusses go at the corners.
- Three additional vertical trusses are positioned evenly across the back to support the back horizontal trusses.
🔧 Ensure all trusses are properly secured for a solid, wobble-free foundation.
Step 3: Attach the ST-UJB-12 Junction Blocks
Each vertical post will have an ST-UJB-12 universal junction block on top:
- 4 ST-UJB-12 junction blocks at the four corners.
- 3 ST-UJB-12 junction blocks on the back vertical posts (spaced evenly).
This setup will allow us to connect the horizontal trusses securely.
💡 Alternate Option: If you want to build the top structure on the ground first, use the ST-UJB-12 junction blocks to connect the horizontal trusses before lifting and attaching it to the vertical posts.
Step 4: Assemble the Top Structure on the Ground
Instead of attaching the top trusses while standing on ladders (and risking back pain 😆), we’ll build the top frame on the ground first.
1. Connect the Left and Right Side Trusses
- Attach one 7.38 ft Global Truss F34 Box Truss between the front-left and back-left ST-UJB-12 junction blocks to form the left side of the top frame.
- Attach another 7.38 ft Global Truss F34 Box Truss between the front-right and back-right ST-UJB-12 junction blocks to form the right side of the top frame.
2. Connect the Back Horizontal Trusses
- Install four 8.2 ft Global Truss F34 Box Trusses between the three middle ST-UJB-12 junction blocks and the back-left and back-right ST-UJB-12 junction blocks to complete the back horizontal truss structure.
🔧 Double-check that all truss connections are tight and secure!
Step 5: Lift the Top Structure and Attach It to the Vertical Posts
Now comes the fun (and slightly challenging) part—lifting the top structure and attaching it to the vertical posts.
🚀 You'll need at least 3-4 people and step ladders for this step.
- Carefully lift the assembled top frame and align it with the ST-UJB-12 junction blocks on top of the vertical trusses.
- Secure each corner and back connection one by one to ensure a stable fit.
- The left and right side trusses should be perpendicular to the back horizontal trusses, forming a rigid structure.
Once all trusses are properly connected, your trade show booth frame is complete! 🎉
Step 6: Final Checks & Adjustments
Before calling it a day, perform a stability check to ensure everything is secure:
✅ Tighten all truss connections to prevent shifting.
✅ Verify that the base plates are level and properly supporting the structure.
✅ If you’re mounting banners, LED screens, or DJ lighting truss, distribute the weight evenly to maintain proper lighting trussing and booth stability.
