280 g/m² Heavy Fabric

The key difference is the fabric itself.

At 280 g/m², this is positioned as a higher-quality truss cover rather than an ultra-light decorative sleeve.

The heavier fabric provides:

• Better coverage of the aluminum truss underneath

• A more substantial appearance when stretched

• Better suitability for front-of-house decorative applications

• A professional finish for weddings, exhibitions and corporate events

• Better suitability for repeated event and rental use

Fire-Retardant Fabric

The fabric is fire-retardant, making it more appropriate for professional event environments than ordinary decorative stretch fabric.

Important: Fire-retardant performance should not be confused with a specific fire certification. If a project requires compliance with a particular standard, please confirm the required standard and available documentation before ordering.

Designed for 289 × 289 / 290 × 290mm Square Truss

The cover is designed for square box truss with an approximately:

289 × 289 mm / 290 × 290 mm cross-section
or approximately
11.4 × 11.4 inches

Because truss dimensions can vary slightly between manufacturers, buyers should confirm the actual outside dimensions before ordering.

Multiple and Custom Lengths

Different truss segments require different cover lengths.

DragonEvent can offer multiple length SKUs rather than limiting the product to one fixed length.

Simply select:

Truss Section Size → Truss Length → Quantity

Custom lengths can also be produced when required.

Stretch Sleeve Design

The stretch fabric fits around all four sides of the square truss, turning the exposed aluminum framework into a cleaner decorative element.

The pull-over construction also makes it practical for temporary installations that need to be assembled and dismantled repeatedly.

Suitable for Decorative Lighting

White fabric works particularly well with event lighting.

LED uplights or other suitable event lighting can be used to illuminate the covered truss and transform a functional truss column into part of the event design.

Wedding & Event Truss

For weddings and formal events, exposed aluminum truss can sometimes look too industrial.

The heavier white fabric helps visually integrate the truss with:

• White event décor

• Draping

• Floral arrangements

• Stage backgrounds

• Wedding lighting

This is one of the situations where choosing a higher-quality fabric instead of the thinnest available truss sleeve makes sense.

DJ Truss Totems

A vertical truss totem can be covered and illuminated to create a clean lighting column beside a DJ booth.

For mobile DJs, this allows the same truss to serve two purposes:

equipment support + visual event element

Exhibition & Trade Show Booths

The 280GSM cover is particularly suitable where the truss remains highly visible to visitors.

Applications include:

• Exhibition booths

• Product displays

• Brand activations

• Trade shows

• Entrance structures

Corporate Events

For conferences, launches, presentations and branded events, a covered truss can provide a more finished appearance than exposed aluminum.

Rental Inventory

For rental businesses that repeatedly use the same 290mm square truss, keeping matching covers in common truss lengths allows the same structural inventory to be adapted to different event styles.

How to Choose the Correct Size

Choosing the correct cover requires two measurements.

1. Confirm the Truss Section

This product is designed for approximately:

289 × 289 mm / 290 × 290 mm
≈ 11.4 × 11.4 in

Do not rely only on a truss model name. Measure the actual outside dimensions if compatibility is uncertain.

2. Select the Truss Length

Choose the sleeve according to the individual truss segment length.

For example:

1.0m truss → select 1.0m cover
1.5m truss → select 1.5m cover
2.0m truss → select 2.0m cover

Other lengths can be listed as individual SKUs, and custom lengths can be produced when required.

3. Calculate Quantity

For a straightforward installation:

1 covered truss segment = 1 corresponding truss cover

For example, four separate vertical truss totems normally require four covers.

Why Choose 280GSM Instead of a Lightweight Truss Cover?

For buyers, the decision is mainly about where the truss will be seen.

If you simply need inexpensive fabric to hide equipment in a low-visibility area, a lightweight cover may be sufficient.

Choose the 280GSM premium version when appearance matters more—for example:

Wedding / Corporate Event / Exhibition / DJ Totem / Front-of-House Display

The heavier fabric is intended to provide better coverage and a more substantial finished appearance.

This makes it particularly suitable for rental companies that want one higher-quality cover they can reuse across different customer-facing events.

What does 280GSM mean?

GSM means grams per square meter and describes the fabric's weight.

This cover uses 280 g/m² fabric, giving it a heavier construction than lightweight truss sleeves.

Is this truss cover fire-retardant?

Yes. The fabric is fire-retardant.

However, if your venue or project requires a particular fire standard or certification, please tell us the required standard before ordering so the relevant documentation can be confirmed.

What truss size does it fit?

It is designed for approximately 289 × 289 mm / 290 × 290 mm (11.4 × 11.4 in) square box truss.

Is the cover length fixed?

No. Multiple lengths are available, and custom lengths can also be produced.

Can I use it for DJ truss totems?

Yes. DJ truss totems are one of the most natural applications, particularly when the white fabric is combined with decorative LED lighting.

Can I use lighting inside the cover?

The white fabric can be used as part of a decorative lighting setup. Always maintain appropriate clearance from heat sources and follow the lighting equipment manufacturer's instructions.

Is this suitable for rental companies?

Yes. The heavier 280GSM fabric and multiple-length options make it particularly suitable for companies that repeatedly install 290mm square truss for weddings, DJ events, exhibitions and corporate productions.

Will it fit every 290mm truss brand?

Do not assume compatibility from the nominal size alone.

Confirm the actual truss outside dimensions. The intended sectional size for this product is approximately 289 × 289 mm / 290 × 290 mm.

Buying Note

For this product, the buying sequence is simple:

Confirm 289/290mm square truss → Choose truss length → Select quantity

If you already own the truss, send us its cross-section and segment length if you are unsure about compatibility.

If you are purchasing truss and covers together, browse our Truss & Rigging Products and ask us to match the covers to the truss sections before shipment.
