Ok, I got the tent. It's great! Now I need some walls. Instead of borrowing these again, I would like to purchase portable walls. I'm looking for 2' x 6' & 3' x 6' sections of wire mesh sections…Continue

"What kind of grid walls do you have? I've borrowed some in the past and liked them but can't find them for purchase. They are made of 1" conduit pipe with a wire grid welded to them. They are light weight. Since they are covered with…"

"Dave, yes I set up my new tent from Flourish last week and immediately ordered the Sta-bars. They should be in today. Good point about attaching them to these bars. Do you use the nylon fasteners to attach these?

"Check out the Sta-Bars at Flourish.com, too. They make an excellant attachment point for gridwalls in a canopy, plus they keep the canopy from swaying too much in the wind. The combination of gridwall and stabars have kept my caravan canopy from…"

"Hi Dave, I just googled it and found them for the price you mentioned. We have a place here in St. Louis that sells used items like this. I'll call them in the morning. Thanks for your help. It looks like this is the way to go.

"I've never seen them at hardware store, but Store Fixture places have them. You can also google gridwalls and find them, but shipping is probably high. Dolphin Fixtures has a website, http://www.dolphinfixtures.com/list.php. The utility hook is…"

"Steel Gridwall panels come in 2 x 6 and 3 x 6 sizes. They are heavy, but this adds weight and rigidity to the tent. I have a couple sets of 3 hinged together, and a couple 2 piece sections. You can tie wrap them all together, but I tried ball…"

portable walls
Ok, I got the tent. It's great! Now I need some walls. Instead of borrowing these again, I would like to purchase portable walls. I'm looking for 2' x 6' & 3' x 6' sections of wire mesh sections that can attach together to form longer sections. The mesh is (I'm guessing) 1" x 2" wire mesh which is welded onto 1" galvanized pipe. Material is then stretched over these sections. These sections come with feet so they can stand. I hope I've not confused anyone. Help! I can't find these anywhere.See More
