| Drum Cloud Design
This was my latest incarnation. I made the frame of 1x6 pine, cut at 45 degree angles and put together like a big picture frame. Used course thread drywall screws and my bitchen Dewalt nailer for the smaller trim pieces. I stained it with a medium/dark wood stain and it looks like oak now. It is 4 feet by 6 feet. I put OC 703 - 4 inches thick inside it, wrapped in loose woven burlap, used 6 - 2x4 2 inch thick panels (all three doubled up). The 2 strips in the middle of it are where the seams are for the OC 703 panels, and serve two purposes, to hold the panels up and hide the seams. I suspended it with 4 course thread eyebolts into ceiling joists and then used turnbuckles to connect it to the cloud. It really works well, and looks nice as well.
Let me know if you need any more info, I can tell you everything I did to put it together and mount it. This thing was the easy build. The skyline diffusers on the back wall were another story!
