Masking with Truss

For this show we knew that the design needed hard masking, and that this would take up a lot of our hemp lines that we have in stock. Each hard masker needs two hemp lines, and we had 8 hard maskers, meaning that 16 hemp lines would already be used. Because of sight lines, due to having large trucks coming off an on from the wings, we knew that we would have gaps in our masking, and therefore would need to use dog legs around the back of each hard masker, and borders in front, in order to close these gaps. Each dog leg takes another 3 hemp lines, so in total another 24 hemp lines would have to be used. In stock, we only have 24, 44m hemp lines, so we wouldn't have had enough for all the hard maskers and dog legs. This is when we thought about using truss. We decided the easiest way to cut down on the amount of hemp lines we were using was to have truss spanning the length of the wing on both SL and SR, hanging on two motors, placed motor down, and have 4 scaff bars coming off of each truss at a 90 degree angle using doughty clamps, in order for the dog legs to go along the truss and across each scaff bar. This means we can use 16 hemp lines for the hard maskers, and the remaining 8 to have pickup points on each end of the border bars, as we have 2m extensions on each of these.
