Panels, Grids, Mesh.. Oh my! ? !

Do you use uphostery clips to hang your paintings? Would any thick fabric work? Thanks, Ann

Thanks, Jennifer. I have any EZup tent. Do you know if the walls being connected directly to the tent causes a problem in the event of rain? Would the rain run down the walls and to the artwork? Tha…

Anybody seen/ used the panels. They're cheaper than propanels, so I wondered if they'd be ok. I don't know if they are even the same type of material. http://www.csnsupply.com/Best-Rite-689D3-XX-BS14…

Extreme Newb Questions

Would you bag or pack large paintings or say 16" by 20" canvas paning that is framed?

Hi Jennifer :) - the wind doesn't really make any difference, the burlap makes it less windy inside the booth somewhat but with it being an open weave it can blow through it. I haven't had any wind issues with it. The gridwall also weighs your booth…

Oh my look at this site for open weave fabric http://www.sailmakerssupply.com/prod_detail_list/12 This fabric looks pretty close to what they use for those expensive Mesh Panels

Hi Jennifer! LOL How does it hold up in the wind with the fabric on there?

Hi Ann.....actually I use small 's' hooks and no, I don't think just any heavy fabric would work unless it had a loose weave to it. At least not with s hooks. They aren't sharp so you have to be able to push them through the fabric to loop over the…

I don't know if you've found anything yet but you asked what you could cover grid wall with......I'm in the grid wall camp as well until I can afford propanels or something similar. I bought a giant roll of burlap that I cover them with. I don't eve…

There are spray paints that are specific for metal. I bought 2x6 and 2x8 black gridwall and I think they look pretty good. It only takes 5 of them to make up a side.

If you find a less expensive way to go than propanels, or flourish mesh please let me know. I've been searching for months without luck.

No there is no problem with rain as long as you have your tent sides on and the Tent top flaps over the sides. Although, with EZups they will implode if there is heavy rain. I've seen this happen a few times. To prevent that, use big metal pinch cla…

After having tried a few different things out (plastic grids, peg board, covered peg board) out I would suggest getting some heavy Metal Grids. They help keep the Tent from blowing away in strong winds. I purchased some from a local shelving supplie…

My advice use professional set-ups I started out with creating my own system it was heavy and hard to get around. Other people have spent the time and money to figure it out, but most importantly I recommend finding a way to borrow or rent a set tha…

Thanks. I'll take atrip to Lowes and do some thinking. I really want to avoid spending $1000 + on panels if I can help it. Thanks again, Ann
