Performance & entertainment

The production brief determines the structure.

Lighting grids, runway portals, scenic frames and media backdrops composed for models, photographers and audience sightlines.

For fashion shows & runways, the first decision is not “how many truss pieces?” It is what the structure must achieve, what it supports, where it sits and which venue conditions shape the build.

What to measure

Record the performance width and depth, trim height, performer and backstage routes, audience sightlines, stage level and every lighting, video, audio or scenic position.

Useful size references for this use case include 6–12 m runway lighting line, 20 × 10 ft runway portal, 8 × 6 m lighting grid, 20 × 10 ft media wall.

Who to coordinate

The production manager, stage, lighting, sound, video and scenic teams should share one plan and build sequence. Rehearsal access and show changes can affect when the structure must be ready.

The event brief should cover fashion runways, designer showcases, retail fashion events before equipment is reserved.

When not to use it

Truss is useful, but not automatic.

Consider a simpler alternative

Visible floor bases and low cross members can disrupt the runway and photography; venue suspension may be preferable when approved.
