Down here in Florida, we used the cheapest fabric we can find (WalMart $1
Yard). Non of the shows we do require us to use fire retardant skirts.

We use 30 inch high plexiglass and we don’t stop there we put a roof on top
and a wall in the back. No one can touch anything (just us from the back), in
fact we can walk around and talk to the visitor with out watching everyone
like a hawk.

For picture see http://members.xoom.com/gfltc and pick on the gray
tab "SPEC/INFO". Also chech out the yellow tab "GALLERY" to see the layout at
shows.

We don’t use rope barrier.

Good Luck with your layout!
Build on...
