Hello! I am participating in a Festival on September 12. Here is my biggest problem: I need displays for my products that can fit in a Toyota Corolla's trunk or backseat as this is my only car. I have seen grid walls and pegboard panels at the Store Supply Warehouse's website but am unsure if it will fit. If you think they will, can you give me an idea as far as the correct size to purchase? Please help!!!:07:

How much product are you taking? Can you put together a series of pegboards with hinges connecting them so that they can be folded on themselves? I would think that would fit in your backseat. Is there the possibility to hang anything at the festival? I have these cute little soft hanging things from Ikea that I believe are for shoes/towels or whatever that I store my bows and things in. (I haven't done any shows or anything, this is just how I have them in my studio). Anyway, they are completely collapsible.

I haven't quite completed my inventory but paid for the space. It is going to be outside (in a parking lot) and they are expecting > 500. Do you know if this is something that I can purchase online?

This is a bit expensive but gives me an idea of how to do one with pegboard maybe. I will have to take a trip to Home Depot. Thanks!

I'd suggest pegboards that hinge. I included a pic from one of my very first craft shows where I used similar boards that folded flat. Saves a lot of space. Best of luck with your show!

Those are quite nice. Here is the dumb question: How did you do to keep them upright? Did they slip?
