"Karin, do you like your mesh panels? I think I'm going to buy them because they seem light and easy to put up. Do you find them flimsy or notice your paintings tilting forward? ( I'm hesitant to buy the pro panels since cost is doubled."

Someone should start a thread on "interesting show stories" Bet there would be enough material for a great book!

They also let a breeze blow through the tent which helps to keep us cool on hot days. My paintings don't lean forward, but they are all on gallery wrapped canvas which is light wieght and hangs flush with the wall. If you have framed pieces, they may hang differently.
