    Hi.

    I was wondering if anyone can help me, I need to suspend some CNC cut shapes from a ceiling in a school hall, the largest shape is about 1100 x 800 so nothing ridiculously heavy.

    An obvious solution would be some fishing line on some sticky hooks, but I like my sleep too much so would rather an alternative if anyone has one?

    Try some stainless steel cables and clips from Fairfield They also do a rod system too. Very strong and easy to install. There are a few other suppliers that would do a similar products.

    This is what I use they look smart and are easy to fit and adjust and are screwed to the ceiling, I wouldn’t use the hook you have posted looks like self adhesive which could easily fail and fall on someone.

    Just noticed further down the page you posted is a similar cable system.

    Steve.

    Thanks for getting back to me, I was looking to use the hooks in the link as opposed to the adhesive buttons. – I’ll give the cable systems a go.
