The Ultimate Guide to Setting Up Your Event’s Centerpiece

If you’ve ever been to a live event or show and marveled at the seamless setups, sleek lighting rigs, and stunning displays, there’s a good chance you were gazing at a Global Truss system in action. Today, I’m going to walk you through erecting a Global Truss F33 10x10-ft Triangle Goal Post System, which is perfect for stages, DJ setups, or trade show booths.

The great thing about this 10x10-ft Triangle Goal Post is that it’s not only versatile but also super easy to assemble—even if you’ve never done it before. And trust me, once you see it in action, you’ll understand why it’s a must-have in the event industry.

What’s in the Box?

Before we jump into the build, let’s go over the components that’ll bring this baby to life:

• 2 x Global Truss TR-4088-I Corner Pieces
• 1 x Global Truss TR-4079 6.56' Triangle Truss Segment (horizontal beam)
• 2 x Global Truss TR-4080 8.2' Triangle Truss Segments (vertical posts)
• 2 x Global Truss 1x4-ft Steel Base Plates

These sturdy components come together to form a rock-solid goal post structure, ideal for hanging lighting trusses, banners, video screens, or even a slick entrance arch.

Step 1: Set the Foundation with Global Truss Base Plates

You’ve got your steel Global Truss 1x4-ft BASEPLATES laid out in front of you, which are the foundation of your system. These hefty plates provide stability and ensure your truss stands firm, no matter how much equipment you hang from it.

Place both base plates 10 feet apart. Make sure they’re aligned and secure on a flat surface. Whether you’re indoors or outdoors, these steel bad boys will keep your setup from wobbling.

Step 2: Assemble the Vertical Posts

Next, grab the Global Truss TR-4080 8.2' Triangle Truss Segments. These two pieces will be your vertical posts. Using the Global Truss TR-4088-I Corner Pieces, attach the bottom of each vertical post to the base plates. The corner pieces give a solid connection point and ensure the structure remains sturdy.

You’ll want to ensure everything is nice and snug here because the vertical posts are going to support most of the weight when you attach the horizontal beam. Double-check your connections—it’s always better to be safe than sorry!

Step 3: Attach the Horizontal Beam

Now comes the fun part. Take the Global Truss TR-4079 6.56' Triangle Truss Segment and attach it horizontally across the top of the two vertical posts. This is where the magic happens—your structure is coming together!

Make sure to carefully align the ends of the horizontal beam with the top of the vertical posts, using the Global Truss TR-4088-I Corner Pieces to secure everything in place. If you’ve got an extra pair of hands or a couple of step ladders, this part will be a breeze.

This truss beam is where you’ll hang your lights, video screens, banners, or whatever else you have in mind. The triangular design provides superior strength, allowing you to load it up without worrying about sagging or bending.

Step 4: Secure & Final Adjustments

Once everything is connected and standing tall, give it all a once-over. Tug on the connections to make sure nothing’s loose, and make any final adjustments to the placement. It’s always a good idea to level everything out, especially if you’re setting up on uneven ground.

Pro tip: If you’re using this for a stage, concert, or event, make sure to test out any hanging equipment or Global Truss lighting trusses before the big day. You want to ensure your truss can handle the load you plan to put on it.

Ready, Set, Shine!
