I used lattice topping to hold my marquee. You can buy this for about $5 for 8' from Home Depot. Its a long, about 1" deep stick with about 1/4 x 3/4" groove down the center. Its normally used to top the plastic lattice you use under your deck or something, so its in the decking department. I just drilled small holes through the bottom portion, use long, thin nails to attach it to the frame. The sandwich of lucite, marquee, plexiglas silde right down into it. Drop me a line if you want to know any details. |

For anyone who has an Anderson's nearby - just this morning I found something that should be about perfect. It was in building materials in the same aisle as ceiling tiles (could be for drop ceilings or just a corner protector), but it was a light metal like aluminum and in an L shape. $2.29 for 8 feet or so, and it was already black. Planning on going back with my wife's station wagon to get it. |

I went to every Home Depot and Lowes in the are, and all of them only had white drop ceiling frames. :( Anderson's seems to be an only in Ohio sort of thing. |

... black satin finish or semi-gloss paint will fix that. |

Yeah... Haven't even been able to get my cab painted yet, much less worry about wanting to paint little pieces that I know other people are getting black to start with. :) heheh |
