Truss Tower Displays

A truss tower display gives your stand height and a structured look that a flat backdrop cannot match. Our SEG truss range uses an aluminium frame with printed fabric skins, and it builds as a backdrop, an entry gantry or a freestanding tower. Request a free design proof before anything is printed.

My first time using Backdrop source and so far they have been a pleasure to work with. They have been extremely helpful throughout the process. Definitely give them a chance.
James ShevlinUSA
Wow! My banner added new life to my exhibition. The quality of the print was great and the cool bag that the pieces came in made it even more professional.
Merze Tate ExplorersUSA
I cannot thank you all enough! The backdrop arrived today and the front and back look beautiful! The colors are crisp and rich and look far better than I had expected! I will go nowhere else for future work! Backdropsource is the best! A+A+A+

What is a truss display and how is it built?

A truss display is a bolted aluminium truss frame with a printed fabric skin tensioned over it. The fabric sits on a silicone bead that holds it against the frame, so the graphic lies flush with no visible fixings. Because the frame is bolted, the structure can be assembled and taken apart by hand between events.

The result looks structural rather than soft, which suits brands wanting an engineered finish. The printed face is the whole display, so colour and artwork carry from edge to edge without panel gaps.

When should you choose a truss tower over a backdrop?

A truss tower is a freestanding vertical display, so it suits a stand where you want height without a wall behind it. It works well on open-sided islands, at the entrance to a booth or in a foyer where people approach from more than one side. A backdrop is the better choice when the display needs a wall behind it and a wide, continuous graphic.

Truss can also build as a wide backdrop or an entry gantry, so one frame system can cover more than one role at the same event. Check the floor space before choosing the height, because a tower needs clear room around its base.

Can one truss system be a backdrop, a gantry and a tower?

Yes. The same truss range can be configured as a wide backdrop, an entry gantry that frames a doorway, or a freestanding vertical tower. The build you choose depends on the space, the shape of the stand and how visitors approach it.

Ask the team whether a change of build affects the finished graphic size before ordering, so the artwork is set up for the final shape rather than the first plan.

How do you assemble a truss display without tools?

The range is designed as a tool-free build. Most setups start by laying out the truss sections, then fitting the fabric skin over the frame and tensioning it on the silicone bead. The setup steps differ by model, so read the guide for your product before the event.

If you can, do a practice build in the office or warehouse. It shows how long the fabric takes to fit, which helps you plan the time you need on site before doors open.

What should you check before ordering a truss display?

Check the finished height and width, the floor space it needs and any ceiling or rigging limits at your venue. Confirm whether the venue allows freestanding structures, because some halls restrict what can stand without fixings.

Send your artwork early and ask for a free 2D design proof, so you can check colour and layout before anything is printed. Nothing prints until you approve the proof.

How long does a truss display last and what warranty applies?

The frames carry a 1-year warranty. Check the product page for the full warranty terms, including what is covered. The printed fabric skin can be reused, and a replacement graphic can be ordered for an existing frame when your branding changes.

Store the frame and skin in a dry place between shows. Keeping the fabric clean and dry helps the print look sharp for longer.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is a truss display the same as a SEG display? +
The truss range is part of our SEG display family and uses a fabric skin tensioned on a silicone bead. The main difference is the aluminium truss frame, which lets the display build as a backdrop, gantry or tower.

The range is designed as a tool-free build. Read the setup guide for your model to confirm the steps before the event.
Do you ship truss displays across Australia? +
Yes. Shipping is free Australia-wide on these products.
Do you offer a free design proof for truss displays? +
Yes. You receive a free 2D design proof with unlimited revisions, and nothing is printed until you approve it.
How tall can a truss tower be? +
Height depends on the model, so check the finished dimensions on the product page. Confirm the height against your venue's ceiling and any limits set by the organiser.
What warranty applies to the truss frame? +
The frames carry a 1-year warranty. Check the product page for the full terms.
