WaveLine® Control Barriers help exhibitors at busy Australian events maintain organisation and professional crowd control, while also supporting branding. They are easy to assemble, and this guide explains how to quickly set them up for a trade show-ready booth.
Why Proper Assembly Matters at Exhibitions
Before diving into the steps, it is important to understand why correct assembly is essential. At Australian exhibitions, foot traffic can be heavy, especially during peak hours. Your barriers need to remain stable, aligned, and visually appealing throughout the day.
Correct setup ensures:
When assembled properly, WaveLine® Control Barriers do more than guide queues. They reinforce your brand and enhance your overall booth layout.
Unpack and Organise All Components
Start by unpacking all components and arranging them neatly in your booth space. Make sure all parts—such as the aluminium frame, bases, fabric sleeve, connectors, and instructions—are complete and easy to identify before beginning assembly.
Connect the Aluminium Frame Sections
WaveLine® Control Barriers use a lightweight aluminium tube frame that connects easily. Simply match and insert the labelled sections to form a rectangular shape, using push-fit connectors that require no tools for quick and simple assembly.
Secure the Base Supports
After assembling the frame, attach the base supports to ensure stability. Secure them properly so the barrier stands upright and balanced, which is especially important in busy exhibition venues with high foot traffic.
Slide the Fabric Graphic Over the Frame
Slide the custom-printed fabric sleeve over the assembled frame, ensuring proper alignment, correct branding direction, and even distribution. The tension fabric design creates a smooth, professional appearance.
Zip and Tension the Graphic
After positioning the fabric, zip it closed while gently pulling it down to maintain even tension and smooth out creases. This creates a clean, seamless display ideal for high-visibility areas.
Position and Align Your Barriers
Once assembled, place the barrier according to your booth layout. It can be used to manage queues, define entrances and exits, create demo areas, or separate VIP spaces. Its lightweight design allows easy repositioning, making it convenient for exhibitors attending multiple events.
Designed for Reuse Across Australian Exhibitions
WaveLine® Control Barriers are reusable, with a durable aluminium frame designed for repeated use and interchangeable fabric graphics for updated branding. They are suitable for various events, including trade expos, festivals, conferences, sporting events, and community fairs.
