The last row of seats is only a few inches from the back wall. That would mean<br>
that the catwalk would be over the heads of the audience.<br>
<br>
It would certainly be the easiest to use solution, if the side walls would<br>
take the load without reinforcement.<br>
<br>
Any idea what the cost would be for 25 foot to 30 foot span?<br>
