Re: New outdoor stage laws?!?!Some regulation is not necessarily a bad thing. I am shure most of us have all seen some pretty dangerous set ups in our time. What usually happens is many things are unregulated until someone has an accident with a deployment that shouldn't have been. Then in response to that over regulation happens. Most of the stuff around Atlanta that I do requires an engineering certificate on the structure and a fire certificate on the top cover. Many places I am dealing with now do not allow "built" stages at all. Even with the mobile products like Stageline and such, we are required to submit an engineering certificate. I have not seen many inspectors on sight but then again we have to file our certificates with the folks obtaining the permit before we can have our bid considered for the job.
