- We ask that your design be considerate of your neighbouring stands. If you are planning to have any solid walls or anything that has a height above 2.5m, we will require them to be within the perimeter and not on the perimeter.
- All walls must be a stand-alone construction and not rely on other stands walling for support, regardless of there being a pre-built stand wall behind.
- It is recommended if you have an island stand that you build a central feature or give the stand height with some walling.
- Generally, pop-up banner back walls are not permitted to be used as a back wall option. If you are not engaging a stand builder to construct a back wall for you, we recommend purchasing a pre-built stand package. Please discuss your options with your sales manager.
- No building across the aisles is permitted.
