Technicalities of Construction

We needed to consider the ease of transportation and assembly of the ring from which the curtains would hang. After considering timber (the drawbacks of this were the potential need to form it to a curve, and the lack of torsion strength if it were cut in flat plane - it would need to be a whole cut of timber formed to a curve), we decided that an aluminium ring in sections would be lighter and simpler, with the strength to hold itself and the weight of anything hung from it. It would also make it easier to potentially weld and form joining brackets for the separate sections to fix together on site, and for it to be hung from the steel cross members above.
