40' Wide x 25' Tall 20.5" Truss Structure Installation for a Historic Theater Venue

Written By Trevor McGaughey

At T-REV Productions, we specialize in designing and building large-scale truss structures that combine strength, safety, and visual impact. For this recent theater installation, our team engineered and assembled a 40-foot wide by 25-foot tall aluminum truss structure utilizing professional-grade 20.5-inch box truss to create a dramatic architectural frame within a historic performance venue.

Custom 40' x 25' Truss Build

This installation featured a massive freestanding truss structure positioned in front of the theater stage. The design incorporated:

  • 40-foot main span using 20.5" heavy-duty box truss

  • 25-foot vertical towers

  • Additional decorative side portal structures

  • Rigging-ready design for lighting, branding, LED walls, and scenic elements

  • Professional engineering and installation practices

The large-format truss system provided a clean, modern look while maintaining the structural capacity required for production lighting, video displays, banners, and event décor.

Large-span truss systems like this are commonly used for:

  • Corporate meetings and general sessions

  • Product launches

  • Theater productions

  • Award ceremonies

  • Concerts and live performances

  • Film premieres and media events

  • Trade shows and convention displays

Stage truss systems serve as the backbone of modern event production by providing support for lighting fixtures, video screens, audio equipment, and scenic elements.

Why 20.5" Box Truss?

For larger installations, 20.5-inch box truss offers significant advantages over smaller truss formats:

Increased Load Capacity

The larger profile allows for greater distributed loads and longer unsupported spans while maintaining structural integrity.

Professional Appearance

The substantial dimensions create an impressive visual presence that complements large venues and high-profile productions.

Rigging Flexibility

The system can support:

  • Moving lights

  • LED video walls

  • Projection screens

  • Audio arrays

  • Scenic elements

  • Custom signage and branding

Modular Design

Aluminum truss systems can be configured into goalposts, portals, grids, arches, exhibition structures, and custom event environments. 

Theater Event Production Solutions

Historic theaters and performing arts venues often present unique challenges due to architectural limitations and preservation requirements. Our team carefully planned this installation to maximize stage visibility while maintaining safe clearances and preserving the venue's aesthetics.

The finished structure created a versatile production framework capable of supporting future lighting, video, and scenic requirements while enhancing the overall visual presentation of the stage.
