Refer to the installation specification drawings listed above for the rear view of each of the models.
These drawings specify the number of beams and the recommended spacing between them. It is
critical that these dimensions be adhered to for scoreboards with team name message centers because
of the ventilation hoods located on the rear of the displays.
These drawings also indicate the size of beams required to support the scoreboard at different heights
under various wind speed conditions. All of the beam specifications illustrate "W" shape steel beams
(wide-flange I-beams). The first number indicates the front-to-rear depth of the beam, and the second
number indicates the weight in pounds per foot of length.
The column and footing size dimensions provided in the drawings assist with estimating installation
costs. They are estimates only and are not intended for construction purposes. Be sure that your
installation complies with local building codes and is suitable for your particular soil and wind
conditions.
