    Prepare the work area
    For assembling you need a free area to move around with the bamboo sticks, the cross wires and the banners. Such an area is at least 3.5 metrs wide and three meters longer than the height of the tower. If the tower is of two layers, this amounts to no less than 7 meters. For each extra layer of the tower add 2.5 meters.
    One team member has to guarantee that no one of the public tries to walk over the construction area. Damage will be caused by stepping on bamboo sticks or getting entangles in cross wires.
