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.
