Re: Reusable garage paint booth help

I used a pop up shelter for my roof/structure. I go a 10x20 shelter, that included fabric walls. The problem I found was, the fabric walls move too much. I suspect plastic might do the same?

I made walls from 4x8 sheets of single ply cardboard, which a box place near me sells for around $5 per sheet. I made a frame from 1x2 firring strips that I got from Home Depot that are up to $1.58 each.

By, made a frame, basically what I did was lay out the cardboard to the size and shape I wanted and then slid the wood under the edges and stapled the cardboard to the wood. Combined, they made a pretty decent structure.

The end walled ended up 10ft wide x 8ft high. I ran some firring strips vertical between the sheets like studs

There were areas that I needed something longer than 8ft, so I overlapped firring strips and used 1 inch finishing nails to splice them together.

When I was done, I threw al the cardboard and firring strips away.

I'll see if I can come up with some pictures.
