CUSTOM TRUSS CONSTRUCTIONS
In the context of event productions, the main function of a trussing system is the elevation and suspension of lighting and sound systems at the required and optimal height and positions. It also optically “defines” the area which it encompasses or skirts, drawing a clear aesthetic distinction between it and that of the remaining venue.
Beyond this, it may be used to suspend decorative elements, ornaments and props, such as florals, string lights, cloths, backdrop curtains, chandeliers, swings etc – as well as functional ones such as projectors or LED screens, confetti blasters and smoke/haze machines.
Should concealing the metallic nature of its appearance be desired, the trussing itself may be embellished with greenery, or covered with stretch-cloths, planks or even mirrors giving the framework an entirely different look. Alternatively, the metal tubing can be emphasized by internally illuminating the structure to render it even more imposing and prominent than already is!
To hide, to mask or to boast. Up to you!
Pre-Designed 3D Truss Configurations
All the following trussing systems that we have designed for you are showcased here in order to give you a head-start in selecting yours.
They can all be further customized in shape and dimensions on request, while a completely different structure may be designed from scratch and built to accomodate very specific needs and tastes.
In addition to the main function of a trussing system, of elevating and suspending lighting and sound systems at their optimal heights, it optically defines the area which it encompasses or skirts.
Trussing Constructions' Gallery
In this section we exhibit certain event setups for which we built trussing structures. Different venues, different truss sizes and designs, different requirements.
Your construction may be of completely different in size and design to the ones portrayed here. Please see the 3D Pre-designed Truss Configurations section for more ideas.
This mini-gallery is here to inspire you! Browse away and picture what yours will look like! 😊
Internal Truss Illumination
Internally lighting and coloring the trussing system of your choice will make the structure even more imposing and prominent than it already is! It will boast the meshed aluminum tubing’s beauty by gifting it color and brightness.
Some who would prefer not leave it as is, may mask it by either draping it with stretch cloths; or even by covering it with planks or mirrors. Others like to embellish it with florals and greenery and take advantage of the framework it creates to affix them.
But many opt to flaunt it instead. To emphasize and show it off. In… street-vernacular: have it be “in your face”! 🤘 😉 And they’re not wrong. Internally flooding its metallic mesh with colored light transforms the construction into a work of art.
Truss Adornment / Afforestation ideas
Beyond creating an elevated structure upon which lighting and sound systems may be suspended, a trussing system can provide the framework from which greenery, cloths, ornaments, props, etc. may be also affixed.
The following images have been ‘borrowed” from random event productions around the globe. They are displayed here only in order to help you envision what we can create for you in collaboration with our partners (florists, decorators and furniture and prop renting companies).
Feel free to take a stroll through this section and should anything you see resonate with you, let’s make your version of it!
OVERHEAD MOVING LIGHTS
The short-lengthed video linked below showcases what having moving lighting units suspended directly above the crowd can offer you. How much more impressive it is to have moving light beams freely and “uninterruptedly” flow above and through the crowd without them being restricted to a one-sided emission as is achieved when using lighting stands.
When suspension points for lighting units are already available in a given venue, a trussing system can be forgone as it will not be — functionally — necessary. When they are not, it creates them for you. Just pick a design and we’ll build it!
