Then my super-intelligent brother suggested hanging some cargo netting to which I could easily zip-tie the fixtures but I couldn't find any cargo netting of the right size (several smaller pieces would have been cost-prohibitive). Then it occurred to me that maybe hardware cloth, poultry netting or some other rigid fencing material might work. So off to the local mega-hardware store I drove. It's a good thing I brought little andy with me because she almost immediately pointed out the material I ended up using: plastic snow fencing.
It came in a 4' x 50' roll and my piece was going to be about 15' x 10'. It was a trivial matter to cut it into three 16'8" lengths and zip tie them together to create a 16'8" x 12' backing panel. What was less trivial (and what I, for some reason, didn't take any pictures of) was marking all of the connection points and running ~80' of lamp cord throughout the plastic lattice so as to facilitate set-up in the production environment (the warehouse space). If I had had 17' x 12' of floor to lie it all out in it would have been somewhat easier. My living room was only big enough to work on one third of it at a time. |
