Layout plans
Top-down plans drawn to scale. Pick the one you like and builders quote that layout.
Plans illustrate common layouts, not a builder's design. Your show's rules on height and sight lines apply.
Planning this size
Large islands are planned like architecture: structure, rigging, AV, power and labor all need show approval. Builders who list 40×40 and larger usually manage the whole project, from design to on-site supervision.
Ask every builder for examples of islands at your size, and for references from exhibitors at your show.
