"Las diferentes secciones planas funcionaran de modo solidario y, por tanto, iran unidas mediante perfiles tubulares de aluminio de 50x50mm en los vertices y tensores de hilo de acero trenzado dispuestos mediante **cruces de san Andres** en los laterales y perpendiculares a los porticos en la parte superior."
