I am considering buying a used 10x10 Flourish Trimline canopy with mesh walls; but it’s still expensive at the discounted price of $1200. I rarely do outdoor shows and not ready to invest so much, so am considering a Eurmax from Costco. Have only 4 black propanels so looking for solutions to hang my paintings without spending a lot of time DIYing. So, I need either more propanels or mesh walls that will fit. Anyone have experience in this? Feeling a bit overwhelmed with options and trying to make a good decision. I want my booth to look professional and set off my art in this high-end but short Bellevue Festival of the Arts in the Seattle area late July..

Ria, I have had several versions of the Costco tent over the last 15 years and it's a great deal for the money. Mine have lasted 5 years each on average.
You can augent your existing ProPanels with the metal grid system someone else suggested. Many ways to use them together to good effect.
You can get "feet" for the display grids and extend your wall space that way. Maybe make a corner of the propanels and use the display grids on each outside wall end. Put your pro panels as your back wall for your signature work, so it is the first thing people see, on a professional wall.
If you sell prints, invest in a $50 folding print bin online. Also, invest in a TALL chair. Getting up out of a standard lawn chair is one of the most awkward parts of a potential sale. If you are in a tall chair, you can speak with people at their level, without moving and scaring them away!
Hello Rita! Just went thru the same thing you are now experiencing, 6 weeks out from my Show, I was facing SO many things to get done & buy, etc. It comes together, I promise. I bought stand up gridwalls from Amazon, and then bought white curtain panels from Walmart. I used drapery hooks to pierce the fabric & hung my pictures that way. There's a photo of my tent when you search my name in this site.
