you know. the triangular, 3 long legs (for lack of a better term). with the sig-zag connecting bars. they are used to hang lights, etc, at concerts.

i would like some that are small enough to hang in the typical HT room.

Locally you could find a DJ supply, they should stock it.

yeah, thanx. thats what i'm looking for. the prices are rediculous. i would send $1000, and not have all i want. i'l look on craigslist. or if i get desperate, i will make my own.

When my local Circuit City went out, I was able to get 4 "doorway" trusses (3 sided like a doorway) for $200 total. They are 12 ft high and the opening is 5 ft wide. The trusses have a diameter of 8 inches and they are painted blue. I bought them for my school ( I'm the drama teacher). A great deal!

Do You know how to weld?
or,
You may have to go the faux route using painted pvc pipe.

yeah, i weld. i know i can make my own. perhaps i will.
