Entrance arch size guide

Choose the clear opening before the visible arch.

Plan pedestrian, VIP, registration, exhibition, festival, sports, tunnel and vehicle entrances using clear width, clear height, usable length and total structural footprint.

Three different dimensions

Do not use one number for the whole entrance.

Clear opening is the unobstructed route. Outer structure is the visible truss width and height. Total footprint includes every base, tower, brace, ballast zone, cable route, barrier and installation clearance.

For a tunnel, add clear usable length. For a vehicle gantry, also map the complete approach, turning and exit path. Width × height is the default order throughout this website.

01

Clear width

Usable horizontal passage after décor, signs, barriers and equipment are installed.

02

Clear height

Lowest unobstructed vertical point, including banners, fixtures and scenic elements.

03

Total depth

Front-to-back support footprint plus queue, camera, registration and service space.

04

Route capacity

Guest, athlete or vehicle flow, accessibility, emergency use and operational separation.

Quick size selector

Useful starting bands by entrance purpose.

Artwork and scenic sizing

The graphic size is not automatically the truss size.

Keep event identification readable while preserving the verified clear opening and access to structural connections.

01 · Header

Primary branding

Allow a defined fascia zone above the required clear height.

02 · Towers

Side branding

Keep graphics, fixtures and décor outside the clear passage.

03 · Approach

Viewing distance

Size the event name and directions for the real arrival angle.

04 · Wind area

Covered surfaces

Include every print, fabric and scenic face in outdoor setup.

Approximate Malaysia budget

RM 1,200–18,000+

The overall library spans compact indoor portals through illuminated tunnels and major festival entrances. Custom oversized, heavily scenic or technically equipped structures require a project quotation.

Confirm every inclusion

  • Truss sections, corners and connectors
  • Bases, towers, braces and ballast
  • Print, scenic, floral or fabric treatment
  • Lighting, LED, sound and power
  • Delivery, installation and dismantling
  • Barriers and cable protection
  • Site review, drawings or documentation
  • Overtime, overnight or outstation work

Entrance safety boundary

Visible size never replaces route and load setup.

Do not position bases, braces, ballast, cables, fixtures or projecting décor inside the required route. Outdoor banners and scenic skins change wind-facing area. Vehicle entrances need controlled speed, marshals, physical separation and verified clearance for every authorised vehicle.

The final system, support method and dimensions follow the real venue, ground, supported equipment and operating plan.

Entrance size FAQ

Questions before choosing an arch.

What is a standard entrance arch size?

There is no universal standard. An 8–12 ft clear pedestrian opening is a useful early reference, but the event route, crowd, venue, branding and support footprint determine the real size.

Does the quoted arch size include the bases?

Usually a customer-facing size describes the visible or clear opening. Ask for the total outer width, height and depth including towers, bases, braces, ballast and barriers.

How is a truss tunnel measured?

Use clear internal width × clear internal height × usable length, then provide the total site space around it for supports, cables, scenic surfaces, ventilation and emergency access.

How high should a vehicle entrance be?

Do not choose from a generic height. Provide the largest authorised vehicle dimensions, mirrors, roof-mounted equipment, suspension or ground-clearance effects and the complete travel path.

Can the arch carry a full printed banner?

The print material, dimensions, permeability, attachment and outdoor exposure must be included from the beginning. A solid or partly clad face changes wind-facing area.

What changes the entrance truss price?

Clear opening, total footprint, height, number of bays, truss system, support method, print or scenic treatment, lighting or LED, outdoor requirements, access, crew time, transport and duration all affect price.
