Rishab N Posted December 11, 2014 Posted December 11, 2014 2x4 and 3x5 liftarms are good at bracing. Old technic bricks are also very sturdy Quote

DrJB Posted December 11, 2014 Posted December 11, 2014 You can try and replicate a truss-type construction and use triangles such as pythagoras (3/4/5) or multiples. Quote
weavil Posted December 11, 2014 Posted December 11, 2014 I used This or This with This for this... And here is the 2x4 Liftarm... Quote

Erik Leppen Posted December 11, 2014 Posted December 11, 2014 In my opinion, nothing beats parallel beams braced by 2x4 plates stud-inwards. Quote
Dans lego Posted December 11, 2014 Author Posted December 11, 2014 another thing is .. what about horazontal bracing ? Quote
