Building corners/frames for my rocksil panels?

KC Blitz · 22nd December 2007

Hi guys, great forum with great links!

I'm about to build broadband absorbers using 4" rocksil panels. I want to minimise the build time and maximise their absorbtion so I was thinking of not building wooden frames. Instead, I want to just build wooden/plastic corners for the panels and then cover them in fabric.
How would be the best way to secure the fabric tightly and then hang the panels using wire to picture rails given the lack of wooden frame?

Hope I've made sense! I start posting pictures once I've begun building.

Many thanx.

Are you trying to keep the material light...as in weight of the absorber?

Try checking out johnlsayers.com. They have alot of great ideas on studio construction, and alot of DIY projects.
