Double-decker exhibition booths add space and functionality to your exhibit without increasing the booth space. You get ample space to showcase your product and interact with booth visitors. Also, such a huge exhibition stand gains the attention of trade show attendees from across the floor.

A double-decker stand offers many advantages over a modular exhibition stand but has many concerns. As an exhibitor, you need to anticipate and address several things efficiently to ensure the smooth execution of your trade show journey. Here are a few suggestions by eminent exhibition stand builders in Berlin to maximise the value of two-storey exhibits.

Size and Height Restrictions

A double-deck stand is usually so huge that it covers 20x20 feet and requires at least 20-foot clear height. Such humongous can pose a challenge because most exhibition venues have maximum height limitations according to the booth size. Generally, an in-line booth space allows a maximum height of 8 feet. In some cases, it can be up to 12 feet in height. Island and peninsula booths usually have height restrictions between 16 to 30 feet.

Also, different venues have different ceiling height limitations. Therefore, always have clear floor plans and determine the allowable heights for the exhibits before buying a double-deck structure.  

Structural Stability and Robustness

A huge stand has to accommodate a large number of visitors, especially if it has an upper-level meeting room, or may gather 30 people on that upper deck due to a product demo. And here comes the structural and weight safety concerns. Your double deck has to withstand the expected weight capacity.

Your two-storey exhibition stand should be able to handle the load you need to accommodate. There are many more safety and stability requirements. Consult your exhibition stand contractors and ensure the booth structure can withstand 100 to 125 pounds per square foot while accomplishing all such stability concerns.

Show Venue Regulations

Double-decker exhibition booths are not very common and many venues are not very accommodating for them. They have distinct safety and liability concerns and impose several restrictions regarding them. Some of the common regulations they impose are mandatory guardrails, stairs with a minimum width of 3 feet, and fire extinguishers and smoke detectors incorporated at the necessary locations.

Therefore, always determine the double-deck regulations for each show you have to attend. Make sure that your exhibition stand construction matches those regulations.

Fire Safety Needs

Fire suppression systems like smoke detectors and fire extinguishers are necessary for every type of booth, whether it is a custom exhibition stand or double-decker. The need for a sprinkler system usually depends on the booth size. If your booth structure is larger than 1,000 square feet, you will need to incorporate a sprinkler system.  

ADA Conditions

Apart from fire safety, the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) is often a concern for double decks. You should implement a ramp or elevator system to make your second floor easily accessible for everyone, or simply ensure that everything available on the upper deck is present on the ground deck too.
