Please forgive me if this lesson in trade show metric adaptation appears complicated or condescending. It is not intended that way.
Please look at the image.
The accurate insert wall “panels” at a 90.5 inches in height and 38.125 inches in width are NOT to be confused with the top-to-bottom measurements required when using foam board panels as perimeter walls. The foam board walls may be color coated with ink (not painted) or they may be used for applied graphics.
The foam board must be 96″ tall (standard height) so that it can act as an inner wall perimeter surface. The standard width is 48″ per panel.
The accurate measurements necessary for those metric measurements of the 3 meters by
3 meters exhibit space converted to imperial measurements in inches of 10’x10’x10′.
SO – THIS is accurate:
- 3 meters – known as 10 feet (which it’s NOT) is actually 117 inches
- For a 20′ back wall, 6 meters – known as 20 feet (NOT) is actually 234 inches. Therefore, one should use four 48″ wide panels and one 42″ wide panel when planning graphics.
- For a 3 meter by 3 meter or 10’x10′ – IF you maintain the 48″ widths of the first two panels and size the remaining panel at 21.5 inches (allowing for the thickness of the side wall butting into the back wall ), you will SAVE one panel of foam board when assessing your total foam board needs.
This allows 8 panels to be used for a 10’x10’x10′ instead of 9 panels.
Try NOT to make your sides 117 divided into 3 equal pieces or it makes the costs climb for labor and materials.
I like it :). Thanks for that, but I also want to thank for something else. I am color blind (protanopia to be precise). I mainly use Safari browser (no idea if that matters), and a good few web pages are hard to read on account of a careless selection of colors used. However, here, as the selection of colours is fine, the site is extremely clear and pleasant to read. I am not sure if it was a premeditated and mindful undertaking, or just the ‘luck of the draw’, but just the same, thanks.
I wanted to thank you for this excellent read!! I definitely enjoyed every little bit of it. I have you bookmarked your site to check out the new stuff you post.
