Successful exhibitions require attention to every detail, including crowd management. WaveLine® Control Barriers provide a structured and branded solution for Australian events, and proper assembly ensures a professional, efficient setup from start to finish.
Why Correct Assembly Matters at Australian Events
Busy venues such as ICC Sydney, Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre, and Brisbane Convention and Exhibition Centre can see thousands of visitors in a single day. Your barriers must remain stable, aligned, and visually appealing throughout the event.
Proper assembly ensures:
-
Maximum structural stability
-
Smooth and wrinkle-free graphics
-
Safe and organised crowd flow
-
A clean and professional presentation
When assembled correctly, WaveLine® Control Barriers become both a practical and promotional asset for your booth.
Step 1: Organise All Components Before You Begin
Begin by unpacking and organising all components—such as the aluminium frame sections, base feet, fabric graphic, and connectors—on a flat surface. Laying everything out first helps speed up assembly and ensures each modular part fits into its proper place.
Step 2: Assemble the Aluminium Frame Structure
The aluminium tube frame forms the core of the barrier and connects easily using a push-fit system. Simply match and insert the tubes to complete the rectangular frame, ensuring all connections are secure. The lightweight yet durable design allows for quick setup and repeated use at Australian events.
Step 3: Attach and Secure the Base Supports
After assembling the frame, attach the base supports to ensure stability. Secure them evenly, stand the barrier upright, and check that it sits level, which is important for maintaining a steady and professional look in busy exhibition spaces.
Step 4: Slide the Fabric Graphic Over the Frame
Once the frame is stable, slide the custom tension fabric sleeve over it, making sure the graphic is correctly oriented, branding faces the right direction, and the fabric is evenly positioned. The tailored fit ensures a snug and polished appearance.
Step 5: Zip Closed and Create Even Tension
After positioning the fabric, zip it closed while gently pulling it down, smoothing out creases, and ensuring even tension. This creates a seamless, taut finish that gives the barrier its polished and professional appearance.
Step 6: Position Strategically for Maximum Effectiveness
Once assembled, position the barrier based on your booth layout. It is ideal for managing queues, defining entry and exit points, separating demo areas, and improving safety. Its lightweight design allows easy repositioning, offering flexibility and time savings for exhibitors attending multiple events.
Built for Repeated Use Across Australian Exhibitions
One of the key advantages of WaveLine® Control Barriers is their reusability. The aluminium frame is built to withstand frequent assembly and dismantling, while fabric graphics can be updated to reflect new campaigns or seasonal branding.
This makes them a smart investment for businesses participating in trade shows, conferences, and promotional events throughout the year.
Final Thoughts: From Structure to Stunning Finish
Proper assembly of WaveLine® Control Barriers ensures both stability and strong visual impact. By correctly setting up the aluminium frame and tensioning the fabric, exhibitors can create a reliable, professional barrier that manages foot traffic while reinforcing brand presence—allowing them to focus on engaging their audience.
