We recently completed a real-world 10m × 8m × 6m outdoor truss structure project, featuring a combination of 400 × 400mm Spigot Truss for the horizontal beams and 290 × 290mm Spigot Truss for the vertical towers.
The project was designed for an outdoor event application and demonstrates how modular aluminum Spigot Truss systems can be configured into a stable, efficient and professional temporary structure.

· Overall Structure: 10m × 8m × 6m
· Truss Type: Aluminum Spigot Truss
· Horizontal Beam: 400 × 400mm Spigot Truss
· Vertical Tower: 290 × 290mm Spigot Truss
· Application: Outdoor Event / Canopy / Temporary Structure
· Connection: Spigot Connection System
· Material: Aluminum Alloy
· Installation: Modular Assembly
For the 290 × 290mm Spigot Truss used for the vertical towers, the available technical data provides the following reference values:

The technical specification is based on 6061-T6 / 6082-T6 aluminum alloy, with Ø50 × 3.0mm main tubes, Ø20 × 2.0mm vice tubes and Ø20 × 2.0mm brace tubes.
Note: Load-table values are technical reference data for the truss itself. Actual project capacity depends on span, support configuration, wind conditions, connections, ballast/anchoring and the complete structural design. Final application should be verified according to the specific project requirements.

The combination of 400mm × 400mm main beams and 290mm × 290mm vertical towers provides a modular solution for temporary event structures where fast assembly, transportation and reusability are important.
The Spigot Truss connection system also allows individual truss sections to be connected and dismantled efficiently, making the system suitable for event rental companies, stage contractors, exhibition companies and professional event production teams.

Modular Design
Different truss lengths and configurations can be combined according to the project requirements.
Fast Assembly
The spigot connection design simplifies installation and dismantling on site.
Lightweight Aluminum Construction
Aluminum alloy provides a strong-to-weight solution that is convenient for transportation and repeated use.
Flexible Applications
Spigot truss can be used for event canopies, stage roofs, exhibition structures, lighting support, temporary structures and outdoor event systems.
Reusable System
The modular structure can be dismantled and reused for different event layouts and project sizes.
This customer project is a good example of how different truss sizes can be combined to create a customized outdoor structure.
By using 400 × 400mm Spigot Truss for the main horizontal beams and 290 × 290mm Spigot Truss for the vertical towers, the system can be configured according to the required structure, span and application.
We provide custom aluminum truss solutions for event companies, stage contractors, rental companies and temporary structure projects.
