Truss Design Chord Orientation

Orientation choices are made in the design and fabrication of 2 and 3 chord truss displays. These decisions are made to enhance appearance and or strength.

When using 2 chord truss you can choose to have Vertical or Horizontal orientation. With Vertical you will get load bearing strength on the display for hanging fixtures and other media. Horizontal orientation gives you a full wide look but you will not get as much structural strength in this position. Uprights / legs can be put across corner junctions or on front / back of joints to create different looks. Ask our support team which will work best for your next display or exhibit booth.


Our 3 chord truss is a very popular truss system. The three cord will directly affect the overall appearance of your display. The diagrams to the left illustrate the position of the truss and apex. If the Apex is 'In' it would point into a display area. Whereas an Apex that's 'Out' would point out of the perimeter. Please discuss your choice with our support team when ordering to ensure you select the proper orientation to get the stability and design look you desire.
