We are looking to make a new portable display for the Farmers market.
We currently share a booth with the pottery studio.
Our spaces about 6 ft wide 2 ft deep and six and a half feet tall.
Any ideas for a good display?
This is kind of what we got going on now.
They’re very different product lines with likely different buyer personas. If you have 2 people manning the tent, I’d move the tables into the center and change it from a center aisle single tent approach to a dual vendor look. Might look for some kind of panel (like a 6x6ft plywood sheet on a stand) you could put between the tables as a backdrop - one side for the pottery work and one side for the metal work. It would also give you some vertical space to showcase some of the work a bit differently. Vertically mounted stuff is “in your face” vs table displays which require a look down.
I’d continue the vertical motif by making the center wall panel a T shape. The crossbar at the back of the tent. That would allow you to “finish” the display area for each vendor so you each have an L shaped setup. That little table in the photo could be used (and another gotten for the metal work) in front of the T’s crossbar. Traffic would be ducking in the sides vs walking down the center.
i am going to have to verbalize it and i found an example online however it is a small version but will get the idea across i think.
make the swinging leafs out of 4x4 livestock or goat panels with opaque plastic sandwiched between them to create a nice contrasting backgound to your signs…for a holder a foot wide you should be able to put six leaves in there for a total of 192 sq feet of display space. put one clamped to each end of your table for 384 sq/ft of display space with extra non sign display area between the two. thats what i have been mulling for a show i am wanting to go to in october anyway. good luck and let us know what you come up with
I like that concept. It would be good for hanging tools in a cramped garage, too. Every page of your “book” could get its own theme: measurement, brake tools, automotive wiring and tools, drywall tools, plumbing tools, and so on.
Something like this?
Or this looks easier to build yourself, just replace doors with panels of whatever
What about some wire mesh panels? The heavy stuff.
I like what @Zen says…I would just make some basic 3/4 3/4 frames and weld on some 6x6 wire mesh or smaller…then just hang the display up on the mesh…you can drape a sheet over it from behind to give some backing for a better look
I think a background is a good idea.
Hello, I posted an answer to this a month or two ago, but I am about to go to a show and actually made what I was trying to describe. I will post pictures and video if it lets me. I cut a cattle panel to the length of my display table, I then welding 1 1/4 14g. Square tubing to the bottom edge. I mounted 32 inch square legs to this with hinges so that the legs may fold against cattle panel or unfold to create support legs for panel. I then cut additional sections of cattle panel and mounted them to the first panel kinda like pages of a book. I used half inch square tubing welded to back cattle panel and just bent sections of the “leaf” panels so they slide into the square tubing and can pivot. On each end of the back display panel I welded hinges and attached additional leafs at both extreme lt and rt ends of the primary panel. Next I got painters drop cloths from harbor freight and stretched it over the cattle panels attaching it with hog ring clips. Upon completion I will add many more hog ring clips through the drop cloth and attached to the panel wires and from those I will hang my metal art pieces with zip ties.

Nice.
Question, all broken down how much room and how much does that setup weigh?
Folded up it is a little less than three inches thick. 50 inches wide and 62 inches long. It weighs approximately 30 pounds if you carry the leafs with the main unit. Probably 23 or 24 if you carry the leafs separately.
That’s reasonable. Fits in the back of a pickup. Easy enought to handle.
