Kathleen;
Check out Posterhanger.com - they have some that I think would work
quite well - single-person set-up, etc. They are designed to hang
from a nail, but I've use a little metal hook in each end of the
metal rods with fishing line and it works great. Sizes up to 72" ($80
+ free shipping).
Displays2go.com has some inexpensive all-one-piece plastic rail/clips
but I don't think they have them bigger than 36" Their phone is 800-572-2194
Cheers
Russell
