Hi All,

I'm currently directing a big ice show that meets a stage show and we need big pieces of chain link fencing for our backdrop to the stage. What are the best options to get the pieces, scrap yard, buying it? What should we do?

Thanks,
Mike

Rather than steel mesh [cyclone fencing] I'd go for PVC [plastic], which is cheap, lighter & comes in various colours. For a backdrop it is easier to work. You can get it from Salvage/Scrap yards, but I'd check out a supplier/manufacturer or hardware outlet first & compare prices.
