Theater curtains, equipment, sets and props are suspended from rail profiles and round-tube sections or trusses, whether or not in the form of a ‘grid’. A tension grid is a walkable mesh floor – somewhat similar to a roller loft through which hoisting movements with chain hoists or point pulls are possible – high above the playing surface and the auditorium floor, with the light beams from the spotlights suspended above it directed through the mesh onto the playing surface.
For advice tension grid, tube and rail systems and trusses for your theater or stage contact PBTA (including advice / design / tender / procurement / quick scan ).
