How to Make a Structure to Hang Pictures at an Art Fair

Art fairs are a place where artists, including photographers, can meet and sell their work. The fair will provide a space for artists can set up their tables to show their work. Photographers who want to hang pictures need to take a structure for that purpose. The structure needs to be sturdy enough to hang the pictures but light enough to be carried by an individual.

Things You'll Need

6 six-foot lengths of 2-by-4 lumber
9 four-foot lengths of 2-by-4 lumber
4 door hinges
Wood screws

Instructions

- 1
  Lay the two six-foot lengths of 2-by-4 lumber flat approximately four feet apart. Lay one four-foot piece at the top of the six-foot pieces so it rests on both pieces of lumber. Ensure that the four-foot length is square and secure it in place with wood screws.
- 2
  Lay three four-foot lengths at one foot intervals along the six foot lengths of lumber, creating what appears to be a ladder. Screw these additional four-foot lengths into place. Repeat this process to create two other frames.
- 3
  Lay the three ladder frames on the ground and attach door hinges so that the frames will fold in a ̶0;Z̶1; shape, allowing the frames to fold onto each other. This will make it easy to transport and allow you to use the structure for a triangular display for small areas or a zig-zag shape for larger spaces.
