The Benefits Of Truss
Structures For Event Tents

One of the main benefits of using truss systems is the enhanced structural support they offer. Stretch tents rely on tension for their form, and trusses provide a solid framework to anchor the tent’s fabric. This ensures stability even in challenging conditions such as high winds or uneven ground.

The framework nature of truss structures also supports considerable spans without requiring king poles internally, allowing for unobstructed areas beneath the canvas, often a crucial consideration with particular events such as trade shows, winter markets and festivals. The absence of king poles provides much greater flexibility to install staging, exhibition displays and seating arrangements.

Truss systems are modular, which means they can be easily adjusted to fit the needs of the event. Whether you need to cover a small intimate space or create an expansive area for hundreds of guests, trusses can be configured to accommodate almost any shape or size of stretch tent. This flexibility allows event organisers to tailor the layout to suit both practical needs and aesthetic preferences.

For event setups that need to be installed and removed quickly, such as at festivals or corporate events, truss-supported tents are ideal. Truss structures are lightweight and can be easily assembled and disassembled, reducing labour and transportation time. This efficiency is particularly valuable for events that need to transition between multiple locations or have tight schedules.

The modular nature of trusses also means they are highly scalable. Whether you’re hosting a small wedding event or a large festival, trusses can be expanded or reduced in size to match the requirements of the event. You can start with a smaller truss structure and add on as your event grows, making it a highly adaptable solution for different types of gatherings.

The truss box sections are able to support a range of lighting and audiovisual equipment, as well as heating, props and decor, transforming your space from the ordinary to a truly immersive experience. The scope for innovation is huge, and with our CNC laser-cutting services, we are able to craft custom fittings and sections that precisely match your specifications. We also offer the ability to print custom artwork on the material sides.

The modular truss system brings with it a variety of benefits over standard traditional truss, including the ability to build an integrated flooring system. The design of this truss system allows for the installation of a suspended floor, atop of which can be customised with a range of different floor coverings, from carpet to wood decking to suit your specific aesthetic and functional needs. This is particularly useful on uneven or wet ground conditions.

Truss structures provide the stability needed to keep stretch tents secure in harsh weather conditions. Their design ensures the even distribution of weight and tension, minimising the risk of the tent collapsing under strong winds or heavy rain. Additionally, the option to add side walls to the structure allows for the option of a partially or fully enclosed structure, providing effective shelter from rain and wind, creating a comfortable and sheltered environment inside.

Our modular truss system offers a unique industrial aesthetic look, lending itself to a variety of applications, from festival stages to exhibition stands, and theatre productions to Christmas markets. If you’re looking for a way to wow your clientele, and stand out from the crowd, our modular truss system is the ideal solution.
