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.

Pro tip: Assemble the horizontal frame on the ground first, then lift it up with some help on top of the vertical posts/legs. Less hassle, more speed!  

Step 4: Customize for Showdown Displays or DJ Lighting

This is where you can get creative. Whether you’re setting up showdown displays, a branded lighting truss, or DJ lighting truss, this modular system lets you add whatever you need to showcase. From LED screens to banners, stage trussing can support it all.
