The production brief determines the structure.

Temporary support for installation art, exhibition lighting, suspended scenic elements and controlled visitor environments.

For art, museum & gallery installations, 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 ceremony or programme layout, audience and VIP zones, processions, public or emergency routes, stage, branding, accessibility needs and indoor or outdoor conditions.

Useful size references for this use case include 3-6 m gallery span, 4 m lighting portal, 6 x 6 m installation zone, Custom artwork-specific support.

Who to coordinate

The organiser, venue or authority, protocol team, production suppliers and safety responsibilities should be clear before installation. Public access and weather decisions need named owners.

The event brief should cover installation art, temporary exhibitions, gallery lighting before equipment is reserved.

How much is truss rental for art, museum & gallery installations?
