"I am an oil painter and have a Trimline with Propanels. Yes, they were more expensive but when I started doing shows I had 4 panels. I just kept adding one until I had 9. Whenever I made more $ I would add one more. I have found that the mesh panels…"

"Hi Tracy, I do like my mesh panels. They go up easily and they don't take up much space in my van. 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…"

"Good thread. To add yet another layer of complexity ;-), Flourish also sells fabric covers for the mesh walls in a range of colors (free samples are available on request). You attach the fabric to the corners of the mesh panels with Velcro fasteners…"

"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!

Hi Tracy, I do like my mesh panels. They go up easily and they don't take up much space in my van. 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.
