My sweet sister bought me my dream display setup. I purchased it last year….but haven’t been able to set it up until this weekend. So I moved my car and set my tent up outside my house on the street. It took forever because I had to attached the legs to the grid work with three screws in each leg. The wind started up right as I was setting up. (of course) But the heavy grid work weighted the tent down and it didn’t even move after the panels were in place. I added all the shelves and it looked terrific! I couldn’t be happier. I took these pics. My neighbors were very intrigued with what I was doing. So you will see them in the pics too.

If I have my sides down it will still look great. But if you have done any shows you know that any breeze is something that you want to take advantage of. But with these grid panels I will be able to lower my sides if the wind gets too bad and not worrying that the extra material will make a sail and I’ll fly away.

Place for storage at the show
I will have a couple of more tubs to add into there….but WoW…..what a lot of room I have left. Remember the white grid pieces are 6 foot tall and 2 foot wide. That’s a nice size trailer.
The new setup is awesome! It looks wonderful! I’m so glad the trailer is working out for you so well. You have mad room still after everything is setup. It won’t be long until you’re, “on the road again!” Great, Great, Great!
Well, you know you’re the luckiest girl, right? Must have been time for a new tent. 🙂 I really think you should buy stock in the tent company, though. LOVE the new tent display. It looks like it has “open arms” to welcome the buyers. Once all the colorful stuff is displayed, it will be irresistable. And the pyrography frame- OMG!! You are way to talented for one person! You ARE going to make these to sell, right?
Very impressive setup! It really looks great. And the trailer is sooo nice.
where did you purchase the side pannels from? Thank you
I purchased all my displays at http://www.storesupply.com
Be sure to look around on the web and put things into your cart and let them figure out shipping. Sometimes the shipping is most than the product. Try to find a supplier near you to help with shipping costs.
You have inspired me to update my booth. I looked at the website you included above, but I can’t seem to find the base/legs that you have. (the ones that only face in the way, not the free-standing ones). Can I ask you if you doubled up using one set of legs for more than one grid? I’m just trying to figure out what to order. Your booth looks awesome!
thanks, Hazel.
That looks like a fantastic grid wall system. I’ve never used them in my own booth, but they look extremely versatile. I added your booth photo to a board on Pinterest.
Can u please tell me where you found the wall panels and shelving and all of the components of your display?

could you please tell me where you got your wire grid display. Looking at buying one and I love the way the front looks.
Love this display. Where did you sister get it and how much? I am hoping next season to sell at my local flea market. I make my own jewelry and would love this. Thanks,

LOVE The CORGIS! (I have Fred the Corgi) I am getting ready for my first art market. I am preparing a booth. Could you tell me how you attached the white grids to your tent? The ones I am looking at through Store Supply, are not wide enough for a complete wall, nor can I figure out how you were able to stabilize them enough to hold shelves.
Any assistance is greatly appreciated.
Corgi on!

Thank you for being so generous with showing your set-up. It really has given me some great ideas!!
By Any chance to you happen to have a list of materials? I REALLY love this idea and would like to know more!
Thanks.
That looks wonderful! I just got my first tent and am planning to do a test set up in a couple of days! I love your grid system. I was thinking of looking into closet grids from Home Depot to save money.
Love this set up. I’m seriously thinking of this for next year. I don’t have a van, so I need to figure out if its possible in our mini-van.
Catherine, The grid wall is 6ft tall. So you would need a center aisle that could accommodate that. It could work.
Can you PLEASE give me the links to the actual grid, shelves, etc items listed on that website because I can not find them. Thank you!!
Hi Yarn Bunny, The actual links are https://www.storesupply.com/c-701-wire-grid-and-slat-grid-display-units.aspx.
Please google gridwall display and you will get other stores. This is the store that I bought my gridwall from. But I did have to look for L shaped legs from other sites. I also checked every other store online for what they had to offer. I put everything into my cart and figured out shipping. Sometimes the shipping is more expensive because how far it is from you. So you might be better off paying a few dollars more for the gridwall with the shipping being much lower. You have to do some research. It is not cheap, but it is the LAST display system you will buy. I wish I had purchased it first. I’m sure I have spent much more for all the other things that I tried first. Good luck.
How many grid walls did you use for this set up?
Hi Sandy, I used 14 – 2 ft gridwall. But you can use as a different configuration. I did four long one side, three on the opposite side. Then two across the front of my table. One to block out the storage at the rear and four out front of the tent. You will need lots of bungee cords to attach to the tent frame. Look at some of the pictures on the post called Charlottesville Dog show. There are more views of my set up.
Love the set up but does it take awhile to set up? How about weight when carrying to tent? I do decorative painting wine glasses gourds etc this looks like a great set up
Hi Dawn, It takes about 1 hour to set up the tent and gridwall and shelves and all. Then you have to do product placement. It is heavy! You need to carry them two gridwall at a time, or have a cart. I made a cart out of a piece of plywood and wheels and a rope handle. Then I would load all the gridwall on the cart and pull the cart with the tent on top to my spot. Set up tent and gridwall, then take cart back to vehicle and get the table chair and product tubs on cart and pull that to the spot. So it’s not a problem about being heavy, you don’t carry it, you pull it on a cart.
The best part is that the grid wall is heavy and sturdy and your product will be safe. I highly recommend it!!!!!! And it looks so good!

Oh this takes me back to my years of shows. Always hard work of course, but always a friendly unique bunch of crafters. Good luck to you all 🌸💖🌸
Love this, I need a smaller version for my keyrings and purse dangles.
