I'm trying to think of some kind of hanging system; it doesn't have to be heavy weight or huge. I have a few framed tapestries I'd like to hang in my display tent, but maybe my handwoven purses too, scarves...I've seen these display panels but they're expensive. Anyone ever try lattice?

Open to ideas or websites I should check out. Thanks! Sandra

  • Look into a local re-sale fixture display store for the gridwall or other systems.  You should have a good selection at a much lower price.   A bonus to something with weight, such as gridwall, is that when you attach it to your tent, it is extra weight.  My tent does not move when others do.  

     

     

    • Oh, that's what I was envisioning but didn't know what it was called or where to find it; googled it and one panel looks really inexpensive. But how do you actually attach it to the tent? Could I attach just one panel? I've seen people with elaborate systems where they panels are all intereconnected, but I could probably get buy with just one panel...
  • You could try PVC pipe.  I have seen it used with sewn sleeves over the pipe to "dress" it up a bit.  Cup hooks could be screwed into the pipe for hangers for your woven purses.  It would also be light weight and able to be broken down for easy transportation.   Seen a lot of quilters use this type of idea.  Just a thought.
    • Not quite envisioning this-- where does the PVC pipe go, connect?
      • The part's list would include 3 longer sections of pvc (depending on how high and how wide you want your section to be) and 4 shorter sections (for the leg support).  two T connectors and 2 elbows.  Below is a sample drawing (I am a jeweler not an artist) If you want your panel to be the width of your canopy (say 10') you will probably need a center support.  

         

        Also another thought if the gridwall is too expensive,  you could build a frame and use the peg board which could be painted and decorated as well.
