Thread Name: Towersey - who's going?
Subject: RE: Towersey - who's going?
For all fans of Heath Robinson, here is a picture of the lashed together roof strut that nearly fell down in the ceilidh tent.
At Shrewsbury a large length of metal fell onto the dance floor.
I have a photo somewhere that is about 20 years old of a roofing slate that fell onto the roof of a Volvo estate car at just the right angle and went clean through it - knife through butter.
Things dropping off roofs are bad news. Two marquee failures in one weekend is disturbing - some fatigue testing and redesign needed maybe?
