Advice for display panels, which one should I buy??

Posted by Carla Bank on April 4, 2011 at 5:19pm

I need to get new display panels. I used to have the ones that Armstrong makes but somebody borrowed them and never got them back.

I need them to hang my canvases. My medium is acrylic, my size of paintings go from a 12x12 to a 36x48. Thank you!

    Your best bet is a set of ProPanels -- get 9 38" for simplicity; or mix and match 30" and 38". A shorter panel or two sometimes comes in handy as well. I have a couple of 24" wide ones that work well when I have a corner, or a little extra space.

    Another good option, but pricey, is the leg adjusters. Both Armstrong and Propanels have them now, with click stops for leveling your panels on uneven ground.

    As Larry points out, they ain't cheap. I like the ProPanels, that's what I have, but Armstrong are good too.

    A set of Pro Panels will end up costing at least $1200 if you purchase them new, probably closer to $1500. Isn't it better to get back your Armstrong panels? The better panels will make your display look more professional, which translated to more potential sales.

      Thank you Larry, I need to get new ones...My friend went through a divorce and foreclosure, my panels were in her garage :( And she was married to a football player from the Miami Dolphins, hehe, too much info but it doesn't matter who you are, divorce and foreclosure can happen to anybody, and your friend's panels can be there. Lesson: Never lend your business materials.
