Happy New Year!
We fly screens on a regular basis during corporate season. We have fly kits that attach to our larger screens, but with our smaller screens, 9’x16’ and smaller, we rig right to the
screen frame.
We have these black ~3’ long
webbing straight slings. I forget what they’re rated for off the top of my head, but their
rating is plenty for screens. The
sling has an eye in either end, so we
choke it through itself around the top of the
screen frame (or around the fly bar of our bigger screens), pass it around the
chord of the
Truss, and finish with a
shackle. For a 7.5x10, we’d use 3 slings: centre, then one each a
foot or so in from each
edge. Then add a couple of safeties between the frame and
truss.
We also have some rated screw eye/
trigger clamp assemblies that we normally use for our video wall. Sometimes we will clamp those to the
Truss and
shackle the
sling to the eye. This then gives us some levelling options as the assembly can work similar to a
turnbuckle.
