Here's a pic of some knock down pro panels that I made, just a quick set up to see how they would work and they worked out great. What do you think? It wasn't easy figuring out all the measurements and materials but I wanted something professional looking and had a limited budget. Once I figured it all out and wrote down instructions, they would be easy to make again. These are not perfect as I figured out several ways to perfect them as I went along but they do the job and don't think the average patron would notice. The best part about them is that I made them to the same specs as pro panels so that their accessories will work on them. For example I bought their couplers for connecting top/bottom pieces, leather connectors & levelers. I made my own support bars but theirs would work too. Since I took time to figure out how to make them, I was thinking about making an ebook available for artists. Do you think this would be valuable info for artists and worth the time creating? All the materials cost me around $300 for eight 6' panels, saving me a lot of money compared to $130 each.

Super job Brian, be proud of yourself!!!
This looks great, please post the link to the e-book when available. Or if it is already, help me to find it, please.
thanks
Great job....yes, I would pay for an e-book.
I would be interested in an e-book also. Sounds good.
Hi Brian, I sent you a friend request. Someone has beaten you to the punch. I bought some plans, but I'm not completely satisfied with the result. If you accept my friend request I think I can offer some important feedback and maybe you can help me improve the panels I built. I am actually going to be building some more next week to be ready for my first art fair on October 13th, so I would really appreciate your help!
my velcro on the back corners of each panel could also be used just to join the 3 panels on each side together.....I'm doing my best to do what I can with the VERY limited means I have.....think back to the days when you all 1st started......I'm trying to enjoy the journey but am kind of eager to be at the stage when I reminisce and say' "Wow, remember how I MADE those panels for my 1st season of shows!!!???" Thanks for the feeback,......it helps! ;)
I am working on getting instructions put together and hoping to have them available by the end of the month.
I wouldn't recommend attaching anything to your tent. Even if you have the tent weighted down it will still sway in the wind. Doesn't look very professional when your panels and art are swaying back and forth with the tent. I talked to Pro Panels and they said they do make support hooks because of demand but they do not recommend them.
Thanks John - that is the saying that I've been using......and it's so true!! :-)
The instructions, would be great. Always interested. whether written or ebook.
