Truss Hire from AV Xpert: Custom Structures for Your Event

Posted by Tom Brown on 24/02/2026

At AV Xpert, we offer custom truss system solutions for both private and corporate events. Whether you’re planning a wedding, exhibition, corporate event or sporting occasion, our truss systems provide the structure and visual impact your event requires.

Our truss hire service includes a wide range of truss sections in various lengths and formats. This allows us to design and build bespoke truss structures tailored specifically to your venue and event brief.

Custom Truss Structures

One of the key advantages of hiring truss from AV Xpert is our ability to create fully custom configurations. Every venue is different, and our experienced team works closely with you to design a truss structure that fits the space correctly and enhances the overall production.

Our truss systems can be used to create a wide variety of structures, including truss archways, custom stage frames, ceiling truss grids, start and finish lines, and other bespoke installations.

Truss Archways

Truss archways are a popular choice for framing stages and creating a strong visual focal point. Positioned either in front of or behind a stage, they provide secure mounting points for stage lighting and effects lighting, helping to achieve a clean, professional overhead setup for presenters, performers, DJs and live bands.

They are also ideal where venues have limited rigging options. Truss archways can provide safe and reliable suspension points for items such as mirror balls, decorative lighting or additional effects, ensuring everything is properly supported without relying on the venue ceiling.

Available in a range of widths and heights, truss archways can be scaled to suit the size of your stage and venue, ensuring the structure looks proportionate while delivering the practical support required for lighting and production equipment.

Truss Entrances & Start/Finish Lines

Truss structures are ideal for creating strong entrance features, whether as a defined gateway for trade shows and exhibitions or as a start and finish line for sporting events. They clearly mark key areas within your event space while adding structure, height and visual impact.

We can build sections with double-width or double-thickness spans, allowing us to fit the structure with branded stretch polyester banners for a bold and professional first impression. For sporting events, truss start and finish lines provide a secure and highly visible framework for sponsor branding, timing displays and event signage.

Truss Stage Set Backdrops

For stage environments and branded productions, we design and build truss backdrop frames fitted with stretched polyester graphics. These custom printed backdrops can incorporate company logos, event themes or sponsor branding, creating a clean and professional visual background behind your stage.

We can build single-arch frames or larger three-part truss backdrop structures to support wider stretched graphics where increased brand visibility is required. These systems provide a solid framework for tensioned fabric, resulting in a smooth, high-quality finish.

Combined with staging and lighting, truss backdrops help create a cohesive and polished stage environment that feels intentional and aligned with your brand identity.

Ceiling Truss

Ceiling truss systems provide secure overhead support for lighting, audio and visual equipment where ground-supported structures are not suitable or where a cleaner finish is required.

We often install ceiling truss within marquees, using the appropriate rigging hardware to safely suspend the truss from the ridge of the structure. This allows us to create strong, stable overhead spans without relying on floor-based supports, helping to keep sightlines clear and maximise usable space below.

Ceiling truss can be configured as single straight lengths, square or rectangular frames, or circular truss features depending on the event design. Whether you require a simple lighting bar above a stage or a more defined overhead feature, ceiling truss provides a safe, professional and visually tidy solution.

Truss Cubes & Stage Coverings

We can also build square or rectangular truss box features to suit your event design. These can be positioned above a stage or within the event space to create a defined branded feature.

We can incorporate a raised front header section within the frame, ideal for printed stretch polyester branding or event graphics, creating a clean and professional focal point above the stage.
