Overhead set-up for salles

I need some suggestions regarding methods for installing an overhead scoring system in our salle including diagrams of sample set-ups, list of items required, etc. We are purchasing some Favero boxes with repeaters, but want to get rid of the reels on the floor.
Thanks

From what I've seen at our local clubs, the overhead setups are fairly simple and require pulleys at the middle where the box is located and pulleys at both ends of the strip and that is the gist of the setup. I'm pretty sure they club owners setup the whole thing by themselves so I'm sure your club could do it too. However, I have seen some blueprints for one, just need to find them...

Triplette sells a bungie cord (reel-less) system for just under $200 a strip, but I dont know it is is actually overhead.

You want to use 5/32" bungie for the lightest pull on the fencer. I have used 1/4", but fencers found it more restrictive.

I do custom designed installation kit of Overhead Reel Systems. Since in some cases the "one size fits all" kits seldom have everything a person needs to install one.
If fact, I can be hired to travel to your location for a salle installation, given the size of the installation is large enough to warrant such expenense.
give me a call or drop me a personal email and we can discuss it.

Cheers,
Scott
