Was that the last time Equity tried to institute guidelines?? Is there a recommended maximum pitch??? I’ve always stopped at 1:12, like ADA and done the Equity notification above 1/2” per ft . Just wondering. Thinking about a rake here for a show next year and we are no longer under Equity rules but I still want some pushback depending on design. (no , we are not doing Cats) <br>
