Looking to set up an impressive truss system for your next big event? Whether it's for stage lighting, a DJ performance, or a trade show display, the Global Truss F34 24x13 Finish Line offers a solid, durable framework. In this step-by-step guide, we’ll break down how to build this structure using stage truss, lighting truss, and dj trussing components. Ready to get started? Let’s dive into the assembly!

Materials You’ll Need:

• 2 pcs. Global Truss SQ-4109-.29 0.95 Ft Square F34 Truss Segment
• 8 pcs. Global Truss SQ-4110 Square 12-Inch Truss F34 Straight 3.28 Ft
• 8 pcs. Global Truss SQ-4111-1250 Square 12-Inch Truss F34 Straight 4.10 Ft
• 4 pcs. Global Truss SQ-4112 Square 12-Inch F34 Straight 6.56 Ft
• 4 pcs. Global Truss SQ-4112-215 7.05 Ft Square F34 Truss Segment
• 10 pcs. Global Truss ST-UJB-12 Universal Junction Box
• 12 pcs. Global Truss ST-UJB/C-12 1/2 Coupler with Allen Bolt (4 Pack)

Step 1: Assemble the Base

The base of the 24x13 finish line is made of two H-shaped structures, each composed of:

• 4 Global Truss SQ-4111-1250 4.10 Ft trusses for the verticals
• 1 Global Truss SQ-4110 3.28 Ft truss for the horizontal beam connecting the verticals
• These are connected using 2 ST-UJB-12 Universal Junction Boxes in the middle of each “H.”

Repeat this structure twice and place them parallel to each other, 13 feet apart. These will serve as the foundation for the entire finish line truss.

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.
• Place a ST-UJB-12 Universal Junction Box at the top of each post to secure the structure.
• Post 2 and Post 3:
• Connect 1 SQ-4112-215 7.05 Ft truss with a ST-UJB-12 Junction Box, followed by 1 SQ-4110 3.28 Ft truss and another ST-UJB-12 Junction Box on top.
• These posts are slightly more complex, adding stability to the central area of the finish line.

Step 3: Attach Vertical Posts to the Base

Now, it’s time to secure the four vertical posts onto the base:

• Connect each post to the ST-UJB-12 Junction Boxes placed in the middle of the H-shaped base.
• Ensure that all posts are tightly secured and perpendicular to the ground for maximum stability.

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.

Step 6: Secure All Connections

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.

Conclusion:

Congratulations! You’ve now built a Global Truss F34 24x13 Finish Line that’s suitable for a variety of events. Whether you need a dj trussing system or a reliable structure for a trade show booth truss, this setup is designed for versatility, strength, and professional use.
