  • 1.  Statue Unveiling

    Posted 04-18-2016 03:11 PM

    Hello,

    Have any of you had experience with unveiling statues/monuments/artworks using a cloth cover? Could you please recommend the material, purchase website or rental service used. 

    I am looking for a lightweight material, like a parachute, to cover a roughly 16 ft tall,  8 ft long, 4 ft wide monument. Ideally, hoping to rent this material instead of purchase (also trying to avoid sewing yards upon yards of fabric). Looked at a few rental websites but they seem to mostly offer curtain units, which is a great option, but not the desired effect for this unveiling. Other suggestions are welcomed. Thank you in advance. 

    This is what we're aiming for:

    Perhaps go to your local hardware store and look at canvas drop cloths.  I have purchased some huge sizes, and they are fairly inexpensive.  Then post event it can be used in a number of ways.

    we have needed shade coverage that was tent sized in the past and even sewed multiple canvas tarps together.
