Tech/Engineering - Architecture
English term or phrase: batten
In the context a theater rigging description I have the following sentence:

"The truss battens will be suspended over the performance platform and in the audience chamber."

I'm not sure if "batten" has a specific danish technical translation. Your help is highly appreciated.
