    Afternoon all…

    got a good one for you here….

    I’ve some exhibitors wanting to show case there services at an exhibition..

    The Exhibition is set up using shell schemes, these shell schemes are 1m wide by 24.0m high and are roughly 2inch thick.

    The Shell Scheme panels come in a grey, and the exhibitors are not allowed to place pins or staples in to the face of the shell scheme panels.

    Only Velcro

    Now the exhibitors want to cover the grey panels with a black cloth type material to hide the grey. these will be hung from the top with large pegs to allow the material to drap down and cover the panel.

    These exhibitors have graphic panels made up which are on 5mm foamex ranging in various sizes..

    My idea is to make some hang rails which will hang from the top of the shell scheme…imagine a walking stick hanging from the top of a door, for instance.

    These rails will allows us to place one side of the velcro to it and the other side of the velcro to the graphic panel…

    Allowing the graphic to hang over the black material ….

    Now my question is…

    is there something out there that may do this already?

    if not

    can this be made from turned diabond or tsomething similar?

    or any ideas asap would be great

    if anyones lost reading all this…I dont blame you

    Cheers

    T

    you could get a length of hook velcro stick it back to back so its double sided and run that around the top edge of the shell scheme, then lay-on some black loop nylon to the velcro and hey presto youve got your drapes you can rouche the nylon up to create pleats if you wish looks good – also you could cut some vertical lines in the loop nylon and then apply the foam panels direct to the existing shell scheme with velcro aligned to the splits youve created hence no hanging things over the back usefull if there is an exhibitor the other side who might complain about things hanging over to their side. 😕
