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 At 02:34 PM 10/16/2015, you wrote: >I have a portable tripod display which can be moved around the unit >or folded up and circulated to patrons.
