[SML] Sub-batten rigging suggestions....

[Jon Ares]

Howdy y'all.... directed at the installers/riggers out there.....  I'm
needing to install some sub-battens to hang some legs from the same
battens that some borders are on.... I intend to use proof coil, rated
hardware, schedule 40 for the shorty battens, et al... and I have a
question about what kibbles n bits are needed, and preferences of the
rigging masters.

Two methods, as I see:

Method One (from top batten down to sub-batten):

Batten > Batten Clamp > Shackle  > Chain  > (can I use a turnbuckle
here?)  >  Shackle  > Chain > Sub-batten

Method Two:
Batten > Batten Clamp > Shackle  > Chain  > Shackle  > Batten Clamp  >
Sub-batten

The question in Method one: can I use a turnbuckle to better dial in
the height for leveling? Sometimes the difference is less than one
chain link. Chain drop is about 5 or 6 feet.

Thoughts? Suggestions?
