Detail - 4' Pylon

Back ] Up ] Next ]

4 foot pylon, front view 4 foot pylon, back view
Description
Pylons can be used to represent any narrow architectural element. The 4' pylons are often used as gate posts. Add a board across the top and you make a quick counter. Use three stacked on their sides, open to the audience for shelves. Off set the different sizes and build a wall.

Pylons are open on the back and provide on stage prop storage. The open backs are also handy for easy clamping.  Pylons are usually used vertically, but there are plenty of uses when placed horizontally. They are quite strong but  remember the canvas sides, when designing your set and blocking the actors.
