Hi all - I have my first ever outdoor art show next month, and have purchased a 10x10 EZ-Up from Sam's Club. I really like the look of the 7-foot knockdown ProPanels w/ adjustable legs but have read blogs/articles online which seem to indicate the 7-foot may not fit under the EZ-Up....I'd like to have stabilizers, and lighting eventually as well so wondering if all of that stuff will fit?
I plan on using the ProPanels for indoor shows eventually as well, and from what I've read on a few blogs some people feel that 6-foot ProPanels are too short/don't display your art very well especially indoors, but 7-foot are perfect for indoors so I feel I'm in a quandry.....
Has anyone come across this, and what was your solution?
I should emphasize that I do want panels of some sort, the more professional looking the better, hence my attraction to the ProPanels.....
Thanks!
Steve

I use the 7 footers, although not the knock down panels, and they fit nicely inside my Sam's Club EZ-Up. The center struts have about a 1-2 inch clearance above the panels. Take shims just in case the ground is sloping or worse higher in the middle. Get a 2x6 board and a 1x6 plank and cut out a bunch of squares (5.5x5.5). I've found 2x4 sections to be too unstable if more than one is needed.
Robert - well that's good to know, makes me feel better about getting the 7-foot panels. Also, never even thought about the ground slope, I'll make sure to take shims....thanks for the tip!
