We are finalizing the designs for a large robotics competition held in several weeks at our University's main auditorium/arena. We hang two 22' long black curtains to divide the arena floor in half, essentially. Usually, the curtains are tie-lined to a 50' span of 20.5" box truss. This year, the crew has proposed the following solution to "offset" this curtain from the truss by 3'-5'. They would do a few separate spans of the Sch. 40, with the pipes going perpendicular to the curtain pipe and truss at specific intervals.
We are building a large truss grid this year with 12" box truss and corner blocks to connect two parallel runs of truss (separated by about 30'), so I'm not concerned about the truss being pulled down one way by the curtains. Just wondering what other folks think of the application here - specifically of the pipe and clamps. The curtain weigh 4.5lbs/ft, which seems like it would be in spec there.
Thanks.
