Frequently asked questions

Worldwide Structures Ltd’s unique Space Building System is based on a patented profile used across all structural components. Unlike traditional modular systems, our component-based approach allows us to create bespoke designs from our standard rental stock — offering complete flexibility without compromising efficiency.

The system can be configured up to four storeys high, with a flat roof option that can serve as a terrace or product display area.

Our all-terrain platform can be installed on most surfaces and accommodates varying ground levels without the need for a scaffold subframe.

Worldwide Structures Ltd. standard rental stock is based on a 2.5 metre grid.

So long as the overall dimensions are divisible by 2.5, we can supply it.

Our standard leg heights are 2.5, 3 & 4 metres.

We have 3 roof options, flat, dome & Space Roof.

Worldwide Structures Ltd. manufacture all components at our facilities in Wiltshire, so if there is a particular size you require, we can manufacture it for you.

To create a detailed and accurate quote, we’ll need the following information:

• Size of the structure (or available space)
• Any additional services required
• Number of floors required
• Event date and duration and location (if known)

If you don’t yet have all the details confirmed, we’re happy to provide an indicative price to help you plan in the meantime.

At the quote stage we tend to supply the proposal only, but we may, if we have a similar drawing within our drawing library, supply you with a generic drawing binder as a basis to plan our stand around.

As the enquiry progresses, we will produce a PDF and 3D DWG drawing binder of your quoted structure.

We have large repository of images from previous projects that we are unable to put on the website, so if your structure is similar to a previous project, we can share those images with you.

Check out our case studies to see examples of our work.

Over 95% of our components are re-used as they form a part of our rental stock. Those that cannot be reused on future activations, are re-purposed into other components, or recycled.

Aluminium is the material that all our structural components are fabricated from, and aluminium currently has a global recycling efficiency rate (RER) of 76%.

Which means when a component has come to the end of its life, we simply pop it in the recycling bin (but seriously, we partner with a number of licenced recycling contractors).

For more information, see our carbon footprint report.

As our name suggests, we operate worldwide.

In Europe, activations are delivered directly from our UK rental stock. In the USA, we maintain stock with production partners on both the East and West coasts.

For the Australian market, we’ve partnered with an industry-leading events company to deliver our unique building system locally.

Absolutely. Our patented all-terrain platform is engineered to accommodate substantial loads, allowing you to display products on the ground floor, upper floors, and even the roof (subject to engineering approval).

For particularly heavy exhibits that exceed the platform’s load limits, we can adapt the design by omitting the relevant floor section and infilling around the display. Over the years, we’ve successfully showcased everything from cars, mini diggers, and tractors to aircraft components—and even a helicopter—within our structures.

Typical Floor Loadings:

• Ground floor: 5kN/m² (≈ 500kg/m²)
• Upper floor: 3.5kN/m² (≈ 350kg/m²)

To put that into perspective:

• The ground floor can support roughly 4 pandas or 1 grand piano per square metre—that’s equivalent to 25 grand pianos, 100 pandas, or 2 large African elephants in a 5m bay.
• The upper floor can handle around 1 female polar bear or 1 American-style fridge-freezer per square metre—that’s 25 polar bears, 25 fridge freezers, or 3 elephant seals in a 5m bay.

Of course, you could combine all three… but we wouldn’t recommend it.

Yes, we do, and we can offer storage and maintenance contracts as part of your purchase agreement.

The beauty of the Space Building System is that if you buy your own structure, and you have an event that requires a larger structure than you own, we can supplement your owned stock with components from our rental stock.

Subject to local authority approval, our temporary structures can remain in place for an indefinite period.

If you’re looking to extend your current premises, we can provide a stand-alone structure or an integrated temporary structure, extending your existing facility.

Learn more about our temporary extensions for additional information.

We work closely with a specific group of fit-out companies with the same attention to detail and high level of finish that we have.

So, if you are looking for a turnkey structure, get in touch.

If you have your own preferred fit out companies, we are more than happy to work with them to ensure your finished structure is up to the highest level of finish.

If not however, we work with a trusted selection of fit out companies; we even have a blog detailing some of the best in the area.

All of our glass and solid panels can be branded, and we have preferred contractors who can facilitate this for you.

As part of our rental stock, we also have roof line fascia banners that can be branded to make your structure stand out from the rest of the crowd. These banners can be reinforced to attach 3D logos to.

See examples of our work.

Our unique structure profile has a central fixing channel on the majority of all horizontal and vertical structural components.

We can supply fixings that utilise this central channel to hang items from or to facilitate an easier fit-out.
