Congratulations on your upcoming festival debut and I'm glad my blog is helping!<br /><br />I use Pro Panels to display art in my booth and they are awesome—I would highly recommend them. They don't only make display walls, but also other display needs such as art bins and shelves that go on the panels. I did a post about purchasing my panels, so there's a bit more information there (http://lauraposs.blogspot.com/2011/04/booth-upgrade-step-one-pro-panels.html).<br /><br />Also a link to the Pro Panels website: https://www.propanels.com/<br /><br />Thanks for your comment! I'm happy to answer more questions if you have them.Laura D.

Thanks for posting this! Also, I would like to know how you are displaying your art in the new canopy? I've been looking into grid wall, lattice, everything, but this looks so clean and professional.

I have two frosty awning and one opaque awning, and there is a huge difference in the amount of light that is able to shine through each.<br /><br />If three sides are open on your display most of the time, I wouldn't worry about the (possible) extra heat caused by letting some light in through the top.<br /><br />Thanks for reading!Laura D.

Have you noticed any heat issues? I do pottery and need as much light as I can get. The nice folks at Flourish cautioned me on the heat but since I usually open 3 sides we figured not much of an issue. <br /><br />Thanks, glad I found your post.Janethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07048670926935704052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7367820195010982392.post-5155357311612708252016-09-20T14:58:50.721-04:002016-09-20T14:58:50.721-04:00Hi Dawn, You're welcome!
I could technically s...Hi Dawn, You're welcome!<br />I could technically set the tent up by myself; I've seen it done in the Trimline's instructional video. However, the woman in the video used an extra pole to help. The only part that a second person is kind of required (unless you have the special pole) is while hoisting the canopy off the ground. One person lifts while the other inserts the legs. The lifting job is easy, and if anyone is around at all, you could probably grab an extra pair of hands for 1 minute. If you are using your canopy for art shows, then I would say that you can definitely have a quick hand to help, especially since so many people have Trimlines.<br />I encourage you to contact Flourish, the company that makes Trimlines, with any concerns you have. They are extremely friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful, and I know that they would be happy to discuss their products with you. Their number is 800-296-0049, and website is www.flourish.com.<br />(I have no affiliation with Flourish, by the way. I'm just a very happy customer!)<br />Thanks for reading!<br />LauraLaura D.

The walls that I use are called Pro Panels. The company sells the walls and many accessories. You can find them at www.propanels.com. Interestingly enough, they have recently added a photo of my booth to the front page of their website (with my permission). <br /><br />Good luck with your first show! <br /><br />LauraLaura D.

It's not one of the lovlier photos I have, but it shows a way I do my booth a lot. It's open in the back behind the desk, so you get more air flow and access to storage, and the extra wall perpendicular to the desk gives added wall space and stability to the overall setup.<br /><br />Here is the photo: <a href="https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10150292454699353&set=a.148498544352.108317.57757589352&type=1" rel="nofollow">Laura's booth photo</a>Laura D.

Yes I did have...Hi Christina, thanks for tuning in!<br />Yes I did have weight bags on. I had a 50-lb sand bag at each corner. It wasn't enough! And I've heard tons of similar stories from other artists/crafters over the past few months since it happened to me.<br />As far as my desk goes, I know what you mean about it being a space-hogger. I work with different setup designs, depending on the show's weather and what type of space I have. (How many sides I have open) This photo shows one way that I do my desk, but it's not my favorite, because you are kind of hidden if you are sitting behind it. <br />https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10150193898014353&set=a.148498544352.108317.57757589352&type=1<br /><br />There are lots of other photos in that album that show different possibilities that I have tried, but none where you can really see the way I usually set up now in a non- corner. I'll see if I have one to upload to my fb page.. thanks for the "like", btw! :)Laura D.

Q: were the legs on your EZUp tent weighed down when it blew away? I am using 40 lb sandbags and that *still* makes me nervous! Also, where do you make room for a desk/table for payment and such? I have ProPanels as well and purchased the desk, but have trouble placing it so it's not in the way of the art.<br /><br />ChristinaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
