2.1 Support Structure Requirements
The installer must ensure that the mounting structure and hardware can support the display,
and that the structure follows all local codes.
Support structure design depends on the mounting methods, display size, and weight.
Because every installation site is unique, no single procedure is approved by Daktronics for
mounting displays. The information contained in this section is general information only and
may not be appropriate for all installations.
Keep in mind the location of mounting clips. Display height and wind loading are also
critical factors to be considered. Consult the appropriate Shop Drawing for more
information.
