I've always liked flat, it keeps things neutral and works for anything. Curves or angles can fit with some sets, and look out of place with others. Most of the ones I've seen are made out of 1/4" luan with 1x4 along the bottom, and 1x4's or 2x4's for feet to put weights on. I've also seen some framed out of 1x4 with black duvetyne stapled over it.

Most clients I ask don't even want bottom cyc lights. I think the problems with rolling things and such make it a difficult decision. The fact that. The lights have become so much smaller - first pit I saw was about 3' deep and 3' wide for 8" strips - harder to justify.Bill
Just curious why we don't see more new stages with cyc pits. In our recent renovation we put in a pit one foot deep that fits between the upstage/downstage main floor joists. It cost very little to add, and with modern cyc units the floor beams do not affect the light.
