Today, we’ll guide you through assembling a 20x20 ft Global Truss F34 Booth Truss with Rounded Corners using a selection of quality truss materials designed for durability and aesthetics. This booth setup is ideal for conventions, trade shows, stage events, or DJ gigs. Let’s dive into this step-by-step guide that’ll make your setup a breeze and showcase why investing in aluminum truss systems is the right move.

Materials You’ll Need

  • 2 pcs. Global Truss SQ-4113 8.2' ft. F34 Square Truss Segments (Top Back Side)
  • 4 pcs. Global Truss SQ-4113 8.2' ft. F34 Square Truss Segments (Top Left Side: 2 pcs., Top Right Side: 2 pcs.)
  • 4 pcs. Global Truss SQ-4113 8.2' ft. F34 Square Truss Segments (Vertical Posts)
  • 4 pcs. Global Truss SQ-4137 1' x 1' Base Plates
  • 2 pcs. Global Truss SQ-4126-CR-L90 90-deg. 3-Way Rounded Corners (For Top Back Corners)
  • 2 pcs. Global Truss SQ-4121-CR-L90 90-deg. 2-Way Rounded Corners (For Top Front Corners)

 

Step 1: Prepare the Base for Stability

Let’s start with the foundation of your truss system. The Global Truss SQ-4137 1’ x 1’ Base Plates are the key to ensuring that your booth is rock-solid. Place all four base plates on the ground in a square layout, ensuring they are positioned 20 feet apart, creating the base footprint of your truss booth.

Step 2: Setting Up the Vertical Posts

Now, it’s time to install the vertical posts. For this, you’ll need the four Global Truss SQ-4113 8.2 ft. Square Truss Segments:

  1. Connect each truss segment to a base plate using the appropriate connector couplers and pins.
  2. Ensure all four trusses stand vertically at the corners of the 20x20 ft space.
  3. Use a spirit level to make sure they’re straight. The stability here is crucial, as these vertical trusses will support the entire structure.

Step 3: Building the Upper Frame - Rounded Corners for a Sleek Look

Now that your vertical posts are secure, it’s time to assemble the upper frame, which will give your booth its distinctive rounded corner look.

  1. Start with the back side of the booth:
    • Use two Global Truss SQ-4113 8.2 ft. Truss Segments for the top back side.
    • Connect each end of the back truss to a Global Truss SQ-4126-CR-L90 3-Way 90-Degree Rounded Corner. These corners will secure the top back segment to the vertical posts.
  2. For the front corners, you’ll use two Global Truss SQ-4121-CR-L90 2-Way 90-Degree Rounded Corners. These rounded corners will be connected to the vertical posts at the front.

Step 4: Complete the Upper Structure

Next, you’ll need to complete the sides of the top frame:

  1. For the left and right sides, use four Global Truss SQ-4113 8.2 ft. Truss Segments:
    • Two segments per side will connect the back corners to the front rounded corners.
    • Attach securely using the rounded corners and ensure everything is tightened down.
  2. Double-check all connections with a hex wrench to ensure no bolts are loose.

Step 5: Lifting the Upper Frame

This step will require a few helping hands:

  1. With the top frame fully assembled on the ground, get a team to carefully lift the entire upper structure.
  2. Align it with the tops of the vertical posts.
  3. Secure each end to the top of the vertical posts, using connector bolts.

Step 6: Final Adjustments and Safety Checks

With everything in place, give the booth a thorough inspection:

  • Ensure all connections are tight.
  • Double-check that the structure is level and stable.
  • Add any optional lighting truss or stage equipment for a fully customized look.

Step 2: Building the Top Horizontal Frame

Now for the top frame, which will be the main horizontal structure of your lighting trussing.

  1. Front Left Side: Begin by connecting a 90° 2-Way Rounded Corner (SQ-4121-CR-L90) to the top of the front left vertical post. Attach a 6.56 ft SQ-4112 truss segment to this rounded corner.
  2. Back Left Side: At the end of the 6.56 ft segment, connect a 90° 3-Way Rounded Corner (SQ-4126-CR-L90). This rounded corner will let you attach the back truss segments perpendicularly, giving the convention booth truss more depth.
  3. Back Side: Now, attach the two 8.2 ft SQ-4113 truss segments to connect across the back of the structure, forming the back side of your booth’s top frame.
  4. Back Right Side: Connect another 90° 3-Way Rounded Corner (SQ-4126-CR-L90) to the end of the back truss segments.
  5. Front Right Side: Complete the frame by attaching a 6.56 ft SQ-4112 truss segment to this rounded corner, then finish off by connecting a 90° 2-Way Rounded Corner (SQ-4121-CR-L90) at the top of the front right vertical post.

This creates a solid rectangular frame with rounded corners for a polished, high-end look that’s ideal for stage trussing at any event.

  1. Position each corner of the top frame above the corresponding vertical post.
  2. Secure each corner rounded truss connector to the top of each vertical post. The rounded corners provide seamless connections while giving the entire stage truss structure a streamlined appearance.

 

Step 4: Securing Connections and Final Touches

With just a few materials, you’ll be able to build a sturdy, reliable structure that enhances your display and keeps everything supported securely. Ready to go? Let’s dive into this quick and easy assembly.

Materials Needed:

  • 2 x ST-UJB-12 Universal Junction Block (for corner connections)
  • 2 x SQ-4112-275 9.02-Ft Truss Segments (vertical posts)
  • 1 x SQ-4113 8.20-Ft Truss Segment (horizontal crossbar)
  • 2 x BASE PLATE 1.4S 12" x 48" Steel Base (for a stable foundation)

This Global Truss F34 setup offers impressive versatility and is a favorite for creating lightweight but highly durable structures at all types of events. With a little help from these trussing components, you’re ready to set the stage!

 

Step 1: Setting Up the Base Plates

To start, position your 2 BASE PLATE 1.4S Steel Bases exactly where you want the vertical posts to stand. These heavy-duty base plates provide a sturdy, stable foundation essential for holding up the entire structure, so make sure they’re firmly placed and aligned 10 feet apart from each other.

These steel base plates make this goal post ideal for indoor and outdoor use, whether it’s supporting lighting truss at a DJ booth or acting as an anchor for a trade show banner. You’re already setting the stage for a successful event!

 

Step 2: Attaching the Vertical Trusses

Now, it’s time to set up the vertical posts. Take each of your SQ-4112-275 9.02-ft truss segments and attach them to the base plates. These trusses will serve as the vertical sides of your goal post, providing the height and presence your display needs.

  • Make sure the trusses are securely connected to the base plates. A tight, stable connection here is essential for the overall sturdiness of the structure.
  • With the 9.02-ft trusses in place, you’ll have two solid verticals standing tall, waiting for the top bar to tie it all together.

Step 3: Connecting the Top Crossbar

Now that you have your vertical posts in place, it’s time to install the horizontal crossbar. For this, you’ll need the SQ-4113 8.20-ft truss segment and the ST-UJB-12 Universal Junction Blocks.

  1. Start by attaching an ST-UJB-12 junction block to the top of each vertical post. These universal junction blocks make it easy to secure the horizontal truss to the two vertical trusses.
  2. Next, take your 8.20-ft truss segment and connect it horizontally between the two junction blocks.

This crossbar will provide the perfect support for lights, banners, or even a lighting trussing system for dramatic visual effects. Once connected, double-check the stability of the trusses and junction blocks to ensure everything is locked in tight.

  1. Ensure that the base plates are level and securely anchored to the ground.
  2. Check each truss connection to make sure everything is tight and stable.
  3. If you’re planning on adding equipment, confirm that the goal post truss system can handle the load.

The Global Truss F34 system is known for its durability and strength, making it ideal for supporting lighting truss setups, DJ gear, or branding materials.

Global Truss 10' X 40' Display Booth Truss System with Center Beam

Emmanuel Josue

Shout out and If you’re ready to impress at your next event, the Global Truss 10' x 40' Display Booth Truss System with a center beam is the setup you need. Whether you’re showcasing your products at a trade show or setting the stage for a killer DJ performance, this truss system is the ideal choice for versatility and durability. And don’t worry—it’s easy to assemble! Let’s get this show on the road.

Materials You’ll Need:

  • 6 x Global Truss F34 Box Truss 8.2 ft long (Vertical posts)
  • 2 x Global Truss F34 Box Truss 7.38 ft long (Horizontal width)
  • 1 x Global Truss F34 Box Truss 7.38 ft long (Center beam)
  • 8 x Global Truss F34 Box Truss 9.02 ft long (Horizontal length)
  • 6 x Global Truss F34 ST-UJB-12 Junction Blocks (4 corners + 2 middle connectors)
  • 6 x Global Truss F34 SQ-4137 Base Plates

 

Step 1: Setting the Base – Base Plates and Vertical Posts

Begin by placing your SQ-4137 base plates in position to form the 10-foot by 40-foot footprint of your display booth. Place 4 base plates at the corners and 2 in the middle along the long sides, spaced evenly at 20 feet.

Now, attach the 6 vertical posts using the Global Truss F34 Box Truss 8.2 ft long segments. These will form the supporting pillars of your structure. Each vertical post is secured to the base plates, giving you the backbone for your truss system.

Step 2: Building the Long Sides – Horizontal Length Trusses

Let’s tackle the long sides first. For each 40-foot side, you’ll need to follow this sequence:

  1. Start by attaching a Global Truss F34 ST-UJB-12 Junction Block at the top of one of the corner vertical posts.
  2. Then, connect a Global Truss F34 Box Truss 9.02 ft long to the junction block.
  3. Add another 9.02 ft truss to reach the middle of the long side, where you’ll attach another ST-UJB-12 junction block.
  4. Repeat the process by connecting the second set of 2 x 9.02 ft trusses to extend the long side up to the next corner junction block.

So, each long side of your booth is connected like this:
ST-UJB-12 (corner) + 2 x 9.02 ft Box Trusses + ST-UJB-12 (middle) + 2 x 9.02 ft Box Trusses + ST-UJB-12 (corner).

Repeat the process for the other 40-foot long side.

These connections form the strong horizontal beams, giving the booth excellent stability and making it a solid foundation for hanging lighting or banners. The stage trussing on these long sides is key to supporting any equipment you plan to display.

 

Step 3: Connecting the Short Sides – Horizontal Width Trusses

Next, let’s move to the short sides. For the front and back widths of the booth, you’ll be using the 2 x Global Truss F34 Box Trusses (7.38 ft long).

  1. Attach the 7.38 ft trusses to the ST-UJB-12 junction blocks at the front and back corners to form the short left and right sides, completing the rectangular frame.
  2. The width trusses will give the booth a strong, defined shape, ensuring that everything is connected securely for maximum stability.

Step 4: Installing the Center Beam – Adding Extra Support

Now, it’s time to install the center beam. This is what will add that extra level of stability to your truss system, especially if you’re planning to hang lighting trusses or other equipment.

  1. Take the remaining Global Truss F34 Box Truss (7.38 ft long) and attach it between the two middle vertical posts using the ST-UJB-12 junction blocks on top of the posts.
  2. The center beam will run parallel to the width trusses, acting as the backbone for additional structural support.

 Global Truss 10' X 40' Display Booth Truss System with Center Beam Middle Truss

Step 5: Securing and Final Adjustments

Once all the trusses are connected and your Global Truss 10' x 40' Display Booth is standing tall, it’s time to secure everything in place. Double-check all the junction block connections to ensure they’re tight and solid.

Give the structure a little shake test—if everything feels firm and sturdy, you’re good to go. The stage trussing should feel secure, especially along the long sides where the center beam provides extra reinforcement.

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.

Let’s Set Up a Global Truss 10' X 20' Display Booth Truss System with Center Beam

Emmanuel Josue

Welcome to the wonderful world of stage trussing, where engineering meets art to create eye-catching, structurally sound display booths. Today, we’re setting up a Global Truss 10' x 20' Display Booth Truss  System with a center beam—ideal for any trade show or event space that demands attention. Let’s dive in!

The Key Players: Your Trussing Essentials

To build this 10' x 20' beauty, we’ll be using the following materials:

  • 4 x Global Truss F34 Box Truss 8.2 ft long (for vertical posts)
  • 2 x Global Truss F34 Box Truss 7.38 ft long (for horizontal width)
  • 1 x Global Truss F34 Box Truss 7.38 ft long (for the center beam)
  • 4 x Global Truss F34 Box Truss 8.2 ft long (for horizontal length)
  • 6 x Global Truss F34 ST-UJB-12 Junction Blocks (for corners and middle connectors)
  • 4 x Global Truss F34 Box Truss SQ-4137 Base Plates (for a solid foundation)

With these products from famousstages.com, you’re all set to construct a lightweight, durable display booth that’ll turn heads and boost your event presence!

Step 1: Lay the Foundation

The first step is all about creating a sturdy base. Start by placing the 4 SQ-4137 Base Plates at the corners of your 10' x 20' booth area. These base plates will keep your vertical posts secure and grounded.

Next, grab your 8.2 ft F34 Box Truss pieces and slot them into the base plates to form the vertical posts. These will give your booth its height and form the backbone of the structure. Tighten all connections so these posts stand tall and steady.

Step 2: Assembling the Top Horizontal Trusses

Now comes the fun part—building the top structure. This part is crucial for both stability and style, so let’s get it right.

The Long Sides (20 feet):

You’ll use two 8.2 ft F34 Box Truss pieces on each side of the booth. Here’s how you’ll connect them:

  • Connect the two 8.2 ft F34 Box Truss pieces using a Global Truss F34 ST-UJB-12 Junction Block at the middle point.
  • Attach a ST-UJB-12 junction block at each end to connect the trusses to the vertical posts.

By the end of this step, you’ll have two long sides, each composed of two 8.2 ft trusses, with ST-UJB-12 junction blocks at both ends and in the middle where the trusses meet. This gives your booth a solid 20-foot length on both sides.

The Short Sides (10 feet):

For the front and back, use the 7.38 ft F34 Box Truss pieces. Connect each end of these trusses to the ST-UJB-12 Junction Blocks at the corners of your long sides, forming the 10-foot width. These short sides complete the rectangular frame of the top.

Step 3: The Center Beam for Extra Support

Now, it’s time to add the center beam. This beam will not only add an extra layer of stability but will also give your booth a stylish, modern look.

  • Use the final 7.38 ft F34 Box Truss for the center beam. Connect each end to the ST-UJB-12 Junction Blocks in the middle of the long sides. This will split the roof structure evenly down the middle, adding extra strength and allowing for more lighting or hanging banners if needed.

With the center beam in place, your top truss structure is complete. It should now resemble a sleek, rectangular frame with a central support running down the middle.

<p data-mce-fragment=Step 4: Final Touches and Adjustments

Step-by-Step Assembly Instructions:

1. Setting the Foundation:

Begin by placing the base plates at each corner of your 16x15 ft space to establish the main frame. Attach the Global Truss SQ-4113 F34 12-inch Aluminum Box Trusses (8.20 ft) to the base plates, forming Posts 1, 2, 3, and 4 as your vertical support structure. These trusses are essential in stage trussing setups for providing a solid foundation.

For Posts 5 and 6 (positioned 6 feet from the back corners), you’ll need to connect Global Truss SQ-4112 F34 12-inch Aluminum Box Trusses (6.56 ft) to Global Truss SQ-4121 F34 12-inch 2-way 90-degree Corners (1.64 ft) at the base. These corners serve as foundational base connectors for the middle vertical posts, enhancing the booth’s overall stability, which is crucial in stage trussing designs.

2. Assembling the Top Horizontal Structure:

Move on to creating the top horizontal trusses. On the left side, connect a Global Truss SQ-4111 F34 12-inch Aluminum Box Truss (4.92 ft) with a Global Truss SQ-4112 F34 12-inch Aluminum Box Truss (6.56 ft). These trusses will span between Post 1 and Post 3. At the top of Post 1, attach a Global Truss SQ-4121-CR-L90 1.64 ft Rounded 2-way Truss Corner, and at the top of Post 3, connect a Global Truss SQ-4126-CR-L90 3-way 90-degree Rounded Truss Corner.

Repeat this process on the right side of the booth, connecting similar trusses between Post 2 and Post 4. The robust top horizontal structure is an essential feature of stage trussing, as it allows for hanging lighting, signage, and more, contributing to the versatility of the setup.

3. Connecting the Back Horizontal Trusses:

Next, assemble the back horizontal structure. Attach a Global Truss SQ-4110-875 F34 12-inch Aluminum Box Truss (2.87 ft) between Post 3 and Post 5 using the 3-way and 2-way corners on top of each post. On the opposite side, connect Post 4 and Post 6 with another SQ-4110-875 F34 12-inch truss, completing the rectangular top structure. This configuration provides a stable framework essential for stage trussing systems.

4. Building the Middle Counter Structure:

To form the middle counter, begin by attaching the Global Truss SQ-4109-.29 F34 12-inch Aluminum Box Trusses (0.95 ft) to the SQ-4121 F34 12-inch 2-way 90-degree Corners at the base of Post 5 and Post 6. These corners provide a stable base connection for the middle structure. The middle counter feature is a useful addition in trade show setups, where it can be used for product displays or as a support for multimedia installations.

Next, attach SQ-4121-CR-L90 1.64 ft Rounded 2-way Truss Corners horizontally to the front ends of both SQ-4109-.29 F34 12-inch Trusses at the base of Post 5 and Post 6.

For the upper center counter beam, connect a Global Truss SQ-4109 F34 12-inch Aluminum Box Truss (1.64 ft) between the two Global Truss SQ-4121 F34 12-inch 2-way 90-degree Corners (1.64 ft). Then, connect this from the vertical ends of Global Truss SQ-4121-CR-L90 1.64 ft Rounded 2-way Truss Corners, completing the middle counter section. The base structure and center beam will now be secured between Post 5 and Post 6.

Once all components are in place, ensure the system is stable and ready to support any additional stage trussing elements like lighting, signage, or other display components. Double-check that all the truss connections are securely tightened and aligned for a polished, professional finish.

Conclusion:

The Global Truss 16x15x10 ft Trade Show Booth Display System is an exceptional solution for businesses looking to create a lasting impression at trade shows.

How to Build a Global Truss F34 24x13 Finish Line

Emmanuel Josue

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:

How to Assemble a Global Truss F33 20x10-Ft Triangle Goal Post Truss System

Emmanuel Josue

Ready to create a rock-solid, professional-grade setup for your next event or trade show? If you’re in the market for a robust and stylish trussing solution, the Global Truss F33 20x10-Ft Triangle Goal Post Truss System is your answer. Whether you’re setting up lighting, DJ equipment, or staging for an epic performance, this package is easy to assemble, reliable, and gives you that sleek, professional finish everyone loves.

Let’s walk through how to assemble this truss system step-by-step in a fun, easy-to-follow guide!

Materials You’ll Need (Already Included)

  • 2 x Global Truss TR-4088-I Corner (for the right and left tops of your goal post)
  • 4 x Global Truss TR-4080 8.2' Triangle Truss Segment (2 for the vertical posts, and 2 for the horizontal top truss)
  • 2 x Global Truss BASE PLATE 1X4-ft. Steel Base Plate

Step 1: Lay the Foundation with the Steel Base Plates

First things first, you’ll need to set a solid foundation. Grab the 1x4-ft. steel base plates—these hefty guys will serve as the anchor for your vertical trusses. Place them on the ground, approximately 20 feet apart from each other, which will be the width of your truss system.

Make sure the base plates are level and secure because we want this setup to stay sturdy through all the excitement. Think of them as the rock-solid shoes that your truss will be standing on!

Step 2: Set Up the Vertical Posts

Next, it’s time to get those vertical posts standing tall. For this, you’ll use two of the TR-4080 8.2' triangle truss segments. These will act as the legs of your goal post system.

Carefully position each truss on top of the steel base plates and secure them with the provided connection points. If you have a buddy to help, this part will go smoother. It’s always good to have a friend along to hold things steady while you lock everything in place.

Step 3: Attach the TR-4088-I Corners

Now that your vertical posts are upright and stable, it’s time to add the TR-4088-I corner pieces. These will connect the vertical legs to the horizontal top truss, forming that signature goal post shape. One TR-4088-I corner will go on the top of the left vertical post, and the other on the right.

These corner pieces are more than just connectors—they’re what give the truss its shape and strength. Plus, they add a cool, industrial look to your setup!

Step 4: Add the Horizontal Top Truss

Now for the exciting part—the top horizontal truss! You’ll need the remaining two TR-4080 8.2' triangle truss segments. Connect these two pieces to form one long, sleek, 20-foot horizontal truss.

With the help of a few extra hands, raise this connected horizontal truss and secure it to the TR-4088-I corners on top of your vertical posts. Once it’s locked in, step back and admire the full structure taking shape!

Step 5: Final Checks and Finishing Touches

Before you celebrate your setup victory, do a quick safety check. Make sure all the connections are tight, everything’s level, and nothing’s wobbly. You can also add sandbags or extra weight to the base plates for even more stability, especially if you’re using this truss system outdoors.

How to Build a Global Truss 10x10, 10x20, & 20x20 Modular Trade Show Exhibit Booth (3 in 1)

Emmanuel Josue

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.
