Setting up a lighting truss involves positioning the base, assembling truss sections, and lifting the structure safely. It is a simplified version of the full installation process. For detailed setup including load calculation and system design, refer to a complete lighting truss building guide.
This page provides a quick overview of how to set up a lighting truss. In real projects, setup is part of a larger process that includes structural design, load calculation, and safety planning.
