dwright2104 Posted May 16, 2013 Share Posted May 16, 2013 Hi, do any of you know what to call or where to get the barriers that are used to hide control positions?dont know where to start searching.I have seen a system that was made up of some boards, with metal joiners at the ends, with angle joiners available. Looking for something thats going to be easily transported. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J Pearce Posted May 16, 2013 Share Posted May 16, 2013 A 8' x 3' or 8' x 4' masking flat on its side, pin hinged to a 4' x 3' or 4' x 4' at either end makes a nice masking solution.You need 3"x1" timber, glue, screws and black molton or serge and some pin hinges.

cedd Posted May 16, 2013 Share Posted May 16, 2013 Big local receiving house have similar to what's described above, only instead of an 8' x 4' as the cross piece they have a 8' x 1' with a big legth of cloth stapled to it that reaches down to the floor. The 1' width gives it the strength to hold the 4' x 4' ends upright, but it's not as heavy and also means you can have a few different heights at which it attaches to the 4' x 4's so it suits a standing or seated mixing position equally as well. For a while now I've been looking for a similar system of my own as often my venues don't have a neat solution, so it always looks untidy. The idea would be a pipe and drape system similar to those used on exhibition stands and conference sets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peza2010 Posted May 16, 2013 Share Posted May 16, 2013 Ive always known it as control surround. normally lightweight flat covered in whatever you wish. Can be secured with screws,builders band or both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyJones Posted May 16, 2013 Share Posted May 16, 2013 Some sort of custom black Shell Scheme? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete McCrea Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 2"x1' batten (or simillar metric equivalent) with a ply face, then covered in expo felt or to clients requirements. Generally in 8'x3'6" or 8'x4' panel sizes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pete_stagetex Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 We use Maja at Black Iris Exhibitions to build ours. Worth a call if you are looking to get some built. We recently won a new client based partly on how nice our crew hides are. http://www.blackiris...ibitions.co.uk/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin Posted June 1, 2013 Share Posted June 1, 2013 I have used control hides exactly as the OP describes. Double sided black hard wearing material, but lightweight, with angled metal joiners that pin neatly to the corners. They were made by a company called Blackwall, but I can't help with a link.
