Would you mind resubmitting that photo? it's not worked for me on two different computers.

I really like the idea of using a backer frame so that you can keep more of the fiberglass material exposed. ReadyAcoustics has a youtube video and a PDF of it I believe.

My only thing with that idea is that I'm not sure that if, over time, the corners of the fiberglass boards will get smushed down... I'd almost want to put some sort of corner support on each of the 4 corners to distribute the tension of the fabric..

Maybe a peice of angle iron (like the one I posted) would be good for that purpose..

BY THE WAY- Frank, you are right about it being called Angle iron- I went to the hardware store and there they were, just like you had described. Sometimes Google images fails me.
