Hi CB,
Looking to add backstage curtains to a newly renovated Black Box. in planning for multiple uses in the future, I'd like to be able to run black masking curtains as well as a cyc in the future. We currently don't have any track rails. So my question is what are the options I should consider to accomplish this? Ideally I'd like to be able to expose the entire cyc, or just the center or alternate black and portions of the cyc visible between the 4 sections of blacks. Currently we tie to the truss.
My box trusses are 30' on one wall and 40' on the other. My hope would be to buy one set of curtains, one cyc and rails to accomplish this in either configuration. I have 2 - 1500 lb chain hoists on the trusses, so weight shouldn't be any problem. The pick points are rated higher than the motors.
Is there a double rail that I can attach to the truss? e.g put the blacks on one rail, the cyc on the other. How should the rail be attached to the truss? Is it necessary to put rails on both trusses or can they be moves easily from truss to truss? If so how?
Thanks for your help in advance.
