One possible option that I am considering is a sort of curtainrod type set up with the hanging clips like are used for draperies. Have to figure out what to use for the rod that will be less expensive than the really long decorative rods for window walls. I know you can get a 12 ft closet rod at Home Depot for (I think it's) a dollar something a foot. Not sure if I'm going to go with that or try something else. Need to find out what means of hanging it I'm going to use.

A good material for inexpensive long curtain rods is electrical conduit. Get it at Home depot. It can be painted and its about $.25 a foot.

Thanks for all the suggestions! I really appreciate them.

Your office supply store should have some sturdy ones. I ordered several for my supervisor's office last year before I retired, from Office Depot. Good Luck

I like Knitnoid have used the command stips. No need to buy the hooks, just get the replacement stips. They are cheap and can be pulled off when you want to make a change without doing any damage. Also good for those less than perfect pieces where the center does not quite lay flat. Just use another strip behind the center.
