A double-decker is how you get two floors of usable area out of the same footprint. The ground floor is given to display and visitor flow, the upper floor to meetings. In crowded halls the upper level buys you a meeting room away from the noise. With this type, the permit process comes before the design. The organiser asks for a structural calculation report, stair and balustrade details, fire escape provisions and load capacity documents; every fair’s regulations differ and application deadlines are early. Preparing that paperwork and corresponding with the organiser is our job. A second storey is not possible on every plot. Hall height, the rule against blocking neighbouring stands’ visibility, and the plot’s load capacity all decide it; if those three do not line up, a single-storey scheme gives a better result. Talk to us before you submit your fair application and we can check together which hall allows it.

Frequently asked
- What floor areas do you build a Double Decker stand for?
- We work in the 60-600 m² range, and 0 published projects on this site are of this type. What decides the layout is not the area but how many sides are open and what you want to show on the walls; we use the same system on a small corner stand and on an island in the middle of the hall.
- How long does a Double Decker stand take to build?
- The build in the hall takes 4-8 days; the schedule of the hall matters as much as the size of the stand. Our own crew does the build, and we take the dismantle at closing too.
- How does the process work for a Double Decker stand?
- We start with the floor area, the open sides and the fair date, then draw the design. Once it is approved the stand is produced in the workshop and built in the hall to the fair calendar; at closing, our crew dismantles it.
