Flourish softwalls for sale

I have a set (3 walls) of Flourish soft walls for sale. Used only 4 times and realized a full time job doesn't work with the art fair circuit. Everything is in good shape. These are black mesh with backing for EZ up tents. I also have upper and lower staybar for additional support/tightness. Comes with all of the attaching brackets, poles, s hooks and upholstery hooks. Asking $900 OBO for everything plus shipping. I'm located in CO. If you have to set up and run your booth alone- these are great. They fold up well and are an easy fit into the back of any SUV.

Just getting started...

 I have a single diamond pop up. I sell acrylic paintings. I was invited to a juried show so I have confidence that my work is worthy. I NEED a professional looking set up. I have a tight budget right now so I am looking for used mesh panels for my tent.    Help?

I entered the Art Fair Pledge Drive a little late, never thinking I would win anything. Somehow my mind always works in the "early bird gets the worm" channel. But I donated and entered anyway, and when to my surprise my name was selected quite far down the list I figured I didn't have much of a chance for the prize I really wanted since I was number 20 on the list. But I had nothing to lose, either, so I listed the mesh panels from Flourish as the number one choice out of 4 possibilities.

Five years ago I splurged on a 10' x 10' Trimline canopy from Flourish, and because I'm a big fan of outdoor canopy stability I also splurged on the StaBar set to keep things from shifting around unnecessarily (had a bad experience with a flimsier canopy which shall remain nameless). The only downside was that I had no money left over for the finishing touch--the mesh panels that would make the display of my paintings neat as a pin. 

So-o-o-o...imagine my surprise when I saw that I had actually won those very panels! I wasn't sure at first that I had won--it seemed such a remote possibility--and I thought maybe it was just a list of everybody's first choices. After a reassuring email back from Connie I permitted myself to rejoice!

Flourish makes such a great product that I knew even five years later that the panels would still be the perfect ones for my canopy. I got contact information for them today, emailed them, and they have already scheduled shipping and I shall have my treasure soon. Their customer service is just as outstanding as their products and I will be forever grateful that they decided to support the pledge drive in such a generous way!

I've just switched over from mesh panels to ProPanels after many satisfied years of the former. I wanted to be able to do indoor shows without having to use my tent frame, or any frame for that matter. It looked cheesy and I wanted a more professional look, but I digress.What I would like to know from a users perspective is what works. What do I mean by what works? Well I bought cable hangers for the pro panels and found that they tend to slip and slide towards the middle with 2D work that is hung by wire. I didn't have that problem with the mesh panels as the hooks stuck in the holes and the work stayed there. I'm finding that the cable hangers tend to slide around toward the center on the wires and the work seems unstable. I'm wondering if I try their "hanger system" instead if those would be more stable, in other words they won't slide to the center of the wires and will keep the work level on the Pro Panels. So before I spend more money I'd like to hear from those of you that have experience with either or both of these systems I certainly would be interested in gaining your perspective or perhaps a way to keep the cable hangers from sliding around on 2D work that is hung on wire. I did put some heavy-duty duct tape folded over on the wire on the back of the frames to see if that would create some resistance for the cable hangers but that is not an ideal solution. I just checked on the work hanging in the garage and one photo was dangling at a precarious diagonal as the cable hanger had slid to the side.As for using drapery hooks in the panel fabric, forget it, the work is too heavy and will cause the fabric to sag. Velcro around the edge of the work? Really? I don't think so, again the work is too heavy and it will cause wear on the fabric as well.

This is the year I go full-time as a art festival vendor and I'm looking for used equipment, most importantly Display panels or pro panels.....New pro panels are just outrageously expensive imo. So if anyone knows of good inexpensive display panels that are durable and look professional I'm all ears? I wouldn't be apposed to building my own if anyone has good advice.

Thanks Erik
