What Are Double Deck Structures?

Double deck structures are multi-level exhibit solutions. They maximize space and brand presence at trade shows, exhibitions, corporate events, and more. Because of the second level, these structures double the usable area within the same booth footprint. In the video below, take a look at how much space our recent double deck system maximized.

The video shows our booth at the Experiential Marketing Summit (EMS) 2024. We wanted our booth to be an experience, not just a space on the show floor. Double deck architecture was our key to making the most of the event.

In our case, the modular deck was used for experiential marketing. You can read more about our rockin’ event structure in our blog. Aside from experiential marketing, there are many other use cases for these structures:

Benefits of Double Deck Structures

Double deck structures offer several advantages:

Maximize Space: Double deck structures double the usable area of your booth. The upper level can be used for private meetings, while the lower level is perfect for product displays or demos.
Stand Out at Events: The unique, multi-level design draws attention in busy event spaces. It makes your booth more noticeable to attendees.
Separate Functional Areas: Create distinct spaces for different purposes. Use the top level for VIP lounges or presentations and the bottom level for engaging with visitors.
Reusable and Sustainable: Our double deck systems are built from durable materials, including 70% recycled aluminum. They are designed for multiple uses and can be reconfigured to suit different events. Learn more about how modular structures are eco-friendly and sustainable on our blog.
Cost-Effective Solution: A double decker trade show booth offers more functionality without needing larger booth spaces. Their reusability reduce costs over time.

Customize Double Decks

Our process is simple for designers and project managers to create exhibits with our ExpoDecks. At our double deck company, we follow these steps:

Design Submission

Send us your design or drawing, whether you have a full rendering or a simple sketch.

Design Review

Based on your design and direction, we will assess the scope of the project and a timetable; then, we’ll brief our design engineers, who will create initial drawings illustrating how Highmark products can be incorporated to fulfill your structural needs.

Digital Engineering

Our design engineers will create a plan and isometric views of your concept as if it were built using Highmark products. We will send this to you for your initial approval.

Cost Estimate

After you approve the initial drawing, our sales professionals will provide an official cost estimate, an engineering drawing, and a weight and shipping estimate.

In-Shop Build

Once you approve the budget and drawings, we begin production in our shop. Our in-house fabrication ensures specification accuracy and proper fit and finish. Quality control from specification through production, packing, and ship-out is critical for all projects, especially for large complex custom builds. We can provide photos of your project in process, or you are welcome to visit us. Each project includes a comprehensive set-up and certified drawings.

Packing + Shipping

Once the structure is built, and all specifications are verified, we dismantle and pack components into our efficient shipping segments. We can ship to your shop first for additional test fitting or direct to the show site.

Installation

Our products have been developed with modularity and ease of installation in mind and require few tools. With our detailed set-up instructions and careful labeling and packing, set-ups of Highmark structures — walls and decks alike — tend to be fast and efficient. We have trained industry installation and dismantling (I & D) companies on our products and are happy to make I+D recommendations or send a Highmark representative upon request.
