Draw your design on an A4 sheet. This is useful to keep to hand when hanging your IXXI and to calculate how many tripods you need. You use these at the corners where your IXXI goes down one step.

Tip: Have the cards of the different 'steps' ready and click them together if necessary.

Tip: At what height should the top of the first step hang? Measure this in advance.
