Floor or ceiling corner Bass trap hanging

ive got 5 DIY bass traps.703 with frames. I would cover the 4 corners floor to ceiling if possible but dont have enough traps. lts hard for me to hang stuff due to a bad back. i might get some help to hang them but not sure if i can. would it be better to hang them closer to the ceiling than stand them on the floor in the corners..does it make a difference? floor as opposed to higher to the ceiling? the traps have the frames so i'd feel stupid just putting them on the ground but...anyway. thanks

Wel since there is no clear question on that. I'd hang treatment on speaker level height, just where the relfections might bounce against the wall and come back. Makes pretty mutch sense ?, no ?. Don't know actually tough

Some say put your desk in the middle of the room others say no put it as close to the frontwall to deal with SBIRR others say don't treat frontwall but only backwall and so on. Get a measurring mix and try it.


EDIT: Get your fabric off your panels ( make sure you don't damage it too mutch) go to your fabric store near by and ask for polyester batting/wadding and ask a light 1 (not tight woven but the fluffy 1) and wrap that around the panels then assemble them again and you'll be for a part dust/fibre free. Cuz fibres will get stuck in the fluffy structure off the wadding so they prevent from sticking out the fabric.
