I did come across someone who went into the weight calculations many years ago, but I've no idea where now. It's basically about calculating the angle you'd need to get to before the whole lot went into freefall which is a case of looking at the weight you have on top vs the weight you have on the bottom. Google will probably come up with something...

Hello Julian (and everyone else)

So I got my truss uprights ages ago (August 2015) and they have sitting in their boxes as I was so busy (got married, did my own wedding setup - uplighting and all - not reccommended). I'm now looking to make wooden bases for them. You said you had something similar to the pics I posted in earlier post so hope you can help (or anyone else who knows).

How did you attach the connectors to the plywood?
Are they the conical ones that come with the truss or did you buy the half conical?
How thick is the plywood?

Thanks
