Sideways A-Frame
One of the challenges with
setting up an A-frame near an
edge is locating suitable anchors
on the edge side. Usually the
easel leg set up of the AZ
VORTEX
would
solve
this
problem, but another option is a
Sideways A-frame. The concerns
for securing the feet remain the
same. While the high anchor point
is further from the edge, the
anchors are located along the
edge rather than over it. A
Sideways A-frame set-up,

, is guyed from both sides (right
and left), which alleviates the
need for an anchor point close to,
or over the edge as required by a
conventional A-frame set-up.
The head unit has two sets of
holes for the pins that attach the
legs. One set is angled to the side
to allow better Working Line
clearance.
Remember that the easel leg
set up of the AZ VORTEX can
also be constructed as a
Sideways A-frame. In such a set
up, the Working Line should run
inside the legs.
