Product Description

EVT290S-Bigsur — 10x20 Medium-Duty Square Aluminum Truss Booth

The EVT290S-Bigsur is a 10x20 square aluminum truss booth system engineered for exhibitors and production professionals who need verified load capacity, real ceiling height, and configuration flexibility at large-format trade shows and branded experiential events. Built on the EVT290S 290mm (11.41 in) medium-duty square truss series and fabricated from EN AW-6082 T6 aluminum alloy with a brushed finish, the Bigsur reaches 13.38 ft overhead and carries 190 lb per linear foot on 10-foot spans and 110 lb per linear foot on 20-foot spans — load ratings that handle serious lighting rigs, monitor arrays, and rigged signage that smaller booth formats cannot support. The structure assembles to a 10x20 inline or small island configuration and reconfigures into up to 4 distinct booth layouts without purchasing additional infrastructure. Total system weight is approximately 924 lb. Assembly requires 3 to 4 people and a small hammer.

Key Features

• 13.38 ft overhead height: Creates a dominant vertical presence in 10x20 inline configurations that competes with larger island exhibits on the trade show floor.
• Four reconfigurable layouts: The same structural components reassemble into up to 4 distinct booth designs — inline, compact island, and hybrid configurations — without additional fabrication or hardware.
• High distributed load capacity: 190 lb per linear foot on 10-foot spans and 110 lb per linear foot on 20-foot spans supports full lighting rigs, monitor arrays, and rigged signage.
• 800 lb center point load: Hard overhead rigging points rated for serious AV and production loads (not concurrent with linear loading).
• Conical connection system: A small hammer is the only tool required — 3 to 4 person crew, no specialized rigging knowledge needed for assembly.
• EN AW-6082 T6 aluminum alloy: Corrosion-resistant, brushed finish construction built to TUV specifications for documented safety compliance at convention venues.
• Full EVT290S series compatibility: Every component integrates with the broader EVT290S catalog — expand from 10x20 to 20x20 and custom configurations using the same inventory.
• 3D technical drawing included: Detailed assembly drawing with dimensions and part labels ships with every system.

Who It's For

• National brand exhibitors at major trade shows: You're in a 10x20 inline at CES, NAB, SEMA, or a comparable large industry convention, competing visually with island exhibits from a linear footprint. A 13.38 ft overhead structure with 4 configuration options gives your exhibit team the height and layout flexibility to change the booth's presentation between shows — and the 190 lb per linear foot capacity on 10-foot spans handles the lighting and AV loads that create the visual presence you need.
• Production companies building client activation structures: Your firm builds branded environments for corporate clients at conventions and experiential events, and your structural inventory needs to transition between client briefs without additional fabrication costs. The Bigsur's 4 reconfigurable layouts let you spec a 10x20 inline for one client and a compact island for the next from the same system, protecting your inventory utilization and margin on every project.
• Rental houses expanding into trade show infrastructure: You're moving into trade show booth rental and need inventory with proven load ratings, TUV certification documentation, and room to grow. The EVT290S-Bigsur connects directly into the full EVT290S component catalog, so the 10x20 system you stock today becomes the foundation for 10x10, 20x20, and custom configurations as client demand scales.
• University and research institution conference exhibitors: Your research group exhibits at Neuroscience, SLAS, IEEE, or similar large-format academic conventions and needs a 10x20 structure that presents credibly, assembles with a small staff crew, and satisfies the documentation requirements most convention venues impose on custom truss structures. The TUV specifications and engineered load ratings give your facilities team exactly the paperwork the venue requires.

Clamp Compatibility — Read Before You Buy

The EVT290S-Bigsur uses 50mm (1.97 in) main chord tubing. All lighting fixtures, monitor mounts, and rigging hardware must use 50mm clamps specifically rated for this chord diameter. Confirm clamp compatibility before specifying any attached loads.

Safety and Engineering

• Linear load limits: Maximum rigging of 190 lb per linear foot on 10-foot spans and 110 lb per linear foot on 20-foot spans, concurrently. Do not exceed these ratings under any load condition.
• Center point load: Maximum allowable center point load is 800 lb over 2 chords on a 20-foot span. Point load is not concurrent with linear loading.
• Rear scrim ballast: When a rear scrim is in use, the structure requires 650 lb of ballast on each corner or direct anchorage to a concrete slab.
• Pre-use inspection: Inspect all truss segments, couplers, tapered pins, and R-clips before every assembly. Remove any component showing deformation, scoring, or hardware damage from service immediately.
• Hardware seating: Confirm all conical connections are fully seated and locked before applying any load to the structure.
• Engineering review: A licensed professional engineer must review all overhead rigging plots, custom configurations, and permanent installations prior to use.
• Sand bags: Use of sand bags is recommended for maximum ground stability on all non-anchored deployments.
