Yes, i know, FOH was done with PVC pipe.
We used cheeseburoughs (sp?) to attach it about 1/4 down it to the metal pipe, and one end was attached to the wood of the ceiling. the other end was wired past the fake ceiling onto the metal supports. Yes, it wasn't wonderful, but I only have 4 lights, 2 lights on each piece of PVC.
EDIT: Here is a diagram of what we did:
We also doubled up the PVC, there was one small piece that fit perfectly inside the bigger piece.
I know, it wasn't great. We were going to get real metal pipe, but our normal FOH pipe was not strong enough to support that much extra weight (about 10 feet).

HI,
That plot was done in Microsoft Visio, it is not to scale but was fine for what i needed it for, if anyone has visio and is interested i can email them a copy of the visio plot. I managed to get a really good hire price on the Mac 250 Kryptons and the Hog 600 so I used them and used the Hog 600 instead of the theatres Strand 520i.
Regards,
