Indoor stage walls

[SkyRock]

Hi All.

Those of you that have designed indoor stages, did you use hanging "walls?" I'm trying to make simple curtains that hang from rails, not cables.

We used to have cables that we could hang black plastic from with clothespins. Now, the range has been updated to a rail system.

Any ideas?

Thanks.

Saw some last night on a rail system. Used these clamps with canvas or plastic tarps. Put the tarp up and over the rail, then clamp on the top of the rail.

We use Snow\construction fencing and carabiners but that is on a cable system. I would think that you could do the same thing but instead of carabiners use those big black binder clips like these, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binder_clip

We built fabric walls that are 20' 30' and 50' long that are attached to 2x2's at each end. We roll them up when not in use and unroll to the needed length during COF set up. We put steel hooks on the 2x2's so they hang off the rail system. If the wall is so long that it sags in the middle we will hang a 2x2 from the rail and use cable ties to attach the wall to the 2x2. We attach steel weights to the 2x2's using bungy cords to keep things tight. We use the same walls outdoors by attaching them to posts pounded into the ground.

If you go to the Springfield Tactical Shooters link in my signature you can see on small example of what we use. We use the 2x2's with snow fence & hooks. We have eyelets on each end of the 2x2's so we can attach them to the railing system with the hooks. We also use additional wood to hang walls from so that we can place the walls in the gaps between the rails.

It's not hard to roll them up when we are done & stuff them into a 55 gallon barrel.

We have 4 and 8 foot sections. We have portholes cut into some of them.

Here are some examples:

If you use plastic with clamps, it would easy to have alleys, runways, cut back, cross over. You would be suprise how much movement

you can get ot of such a small area.
