Make your booth the centerpiece of the show with double-deck structures.
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.
This is one of the 2026 event structure trends to watch.
The video shows our booth at the Experiential Marketing Summit (EMS) 2025. 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 innovative event structure in our blog. Aside from experiential marketing, there are many other use cases for these structures:
TRADE SHOWS
Maximize visibility and floor space. Provide dedicated areas for demonstrations, meetings, and VIP lounges.
Festivals
Give festival organizers and sponsors elevated viewing areas, hospitality lounges, and standout brand visibility within crowded event grounds.
Experiential Marketing Events
Create interactive, immersive experiences with multi-level displays.
Road Shows
Create a mobile, high-impact space for product demos, VIP meetings, and branded experiences across multiple tour stops.
Sporting and Entertainment Venues
Perfect for VIP seating, exclusive viewing areas, or branded experiences during live events.
Brand Activations
Give brands the space to combine interactive demos, social-ready moments, VIP hospitality, and rooftop viewing areas.

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.
