Hanging systems

Post by janey »

Hi to all
I want to install a small hanging display system in my window without breaking the bank.
My window is approx 2 m wide by 1.5 m drop and I could fix to ceiling or add a batten and fux to that.
Can anyone recommend a simple one - i would want 6 wires so u could hang 3 rows of pictures.
There is so many to choose from in the lions catalogue I don't know where to start. I'm on a budget (always)!
Hope you can help

If you really want to be frugal you could fix some screw-hooks to a batten and tie temporary long cords to the pictures. :D A slight faff, but cheap.

I'll delete your dup post btw.

Something weird happening. I moved my reply from the dup thread which is now gone and reposted. It's now posted twice and Steve's post is gone. :?

He said ring Lion and ask for help btw.


sorry about that. :oops: I need a lie down.

Sorry guys, I just saw the double post and deleted the older one.

Should have refreshed to make sure there was no replies. Apologies for the confusion.

Hi there,

thanks for yr help I have spoken to lions but found the sales lady more confused than I was!

thanks also for removing duplicate post - I was trying to edit an unfortunate spelling error but couldn't get it to delete it!

Have a great Friday everyone

you possibly want rods instead of cord/wires. rods will keep the pics more upright -wires tend to allow the pictures to fall forward. Have you thought about using easels - you can buy nice ones or knock some up from batten.
