Hello all,
I have a rigging question- more of a 'should I' than a 'can I'...
I would like to make a horizontal wall (5x5 grid of par cans) of lights on my upstage wall- similar to a rock and roll show- for our upcoming production of Grease. I can use horizontal pipe into bases, but they would take up a lot of stage space. As an alternative, I thought of mounting pipe vertically to an existing line set. The batten I would like to use is almost at the upstage wall. Can I use cheeseboro clamps and rig vertical pipes hanging down from an existing batten? We know they will be visible, but that is fine as most of the time a drop or our cyc will be downstage. The batten in question would be fixed and never flown. Is this safe for my kids? or am I better off looking at a truss system?
Thanks in advance,
Rob
