German term or phrase: auskreuzen
Steel structure of an outdoor concert stage:

"Das Dach wird in sich durch auskreuzende Stahlseile Ø 16 mm ausgesteift. Die Aufhängung des Daches erfolgt durch Stahlseile Ø 16 mm an den Querriegeln des Rahmenfachwerkes des Überbaues und wird durch schräge Stahlseile Ø 16 mm mit den Fußpunkten der Stützen des Überbaues so verspannt, dass keine horizontalen Verschiebungen des Daches möglich sind.

This modular steel structure consists of columns, framework girders, steel tubes and steel ropes. I only have a vague idea how this roof might look like but I can't come up with a technical term, if there is one.

Thanks a ton in advance!

Great, thank you, Audrey and colleagues!

"Cross-bracing" is excellent, however, I already used this term for "Kreuzverband".

Thanks again!

auskreuzende Stahlseile
crosswise arrangement of steel ropes / steel ropes running in crosswise direction


Explanation:
Meiner Meinung nach ist das nur eine etwas seltsame Ausdrucksweise für über Kreuz verlaufende [kreuzweise angeordnete] Stahlseile, dafür die obigen annähernden Vorschläge.

... also "sich kreuzende Stahlseile", was man sicher auch einfach als "crossing steel ropes" übersetzen könnte.
