I'm desperately trying to clean up my equipment front look. I bought a new facade from www.islandcases.com/stages_facades.htm.

Next step would be to cover my Hercules crank up stands with some spandex.
Here is what I have in my mind:

I already have 2 pieces of triangle truss that I can use horizontally for lights or vertically for speaker stands.
What would you use for supporting elements, the top and the bottom of white spandex? So far I consider aluminum piping, plastic hula hop cut in half, zip ties and eyelets in the spandex.

As for the bottom of the spandex, that would be the easy part, just put pockets in the 3 corners and insert the feet of the tripod into each of the 3 corners. As for the top I think a cut down hullahoop, sewn into the top, then some black small bungees to center it and hold it up.

I want to hide my speakers under the spandex as well so the bottom has to be large.

Love the way you think man.

I'm considering redoing my entire setup.

I'll still be able to do my old setup, but offer a separate package that is entirely minimalist, clean, easy to move, super elegant, and then offer it for twice the money.

Yes, super portable is where I'm going, also super elegant.
I just want to show them some pictures, my excitement and 1500.00 and up price...
Everything else is just details...
