Free Standing MDF Wall

    I am organising and art exhibition but cannot put hooks into the walls. Instead, I have panels of MDF that I will use instead. I need to find the best way to make these panels into a free standing wall. Where can I find some sort of metal stand that will make the panels into a free-standing wall? They need to be stronger than a normal L-bracket.

    Any help/advice much appreciated!

    How tall will this thing be? Is there anything at all you can secure it to?

    There is office furniture that will do this.

    If going the sheets of MDF route - If you had the sheets in a triangle shape it could free stand.

    I have done these with piano hinging. They free stand when opened to an l-shape.
    You would want fairly heavy MDF that hasn't warped though.

    You can also get brackets with slots that hold the sheet that you screw on. Good job too.

    How about them command picture strips? Investigate what weight they will hold.

    I'm with the free standing triangular idea.

    If you hinge three panels together then the two outer ones fold forward to support them all. A full 8 x 4 back panel with a half sheet either side. A bar across the front can be added to hold them in that shape and can also hold lights.
