We ended up not having the canopies that we thought we would have. I have plenty of white sheets for walls, but need ideas on how to create the marketplace without the tents.
Did anyone else do it without pop-up tents? How?
Any ideas would be appreciated.
Thanks!

| Hi, Our fellowship hall in the basement of our church has the drop type of ceilings. Our decorators were able to make these canopies and hand from the ceilings with fabric panels in between to separate the shops. The Food Shop was a frame made from PVC pipe. I hope this helps - if you need to get more info you can email me - shalow12@att.net. Since we are done I don't check the forum often.

For the past three years we've done a mixture of tents, classrooms, and homemade sheet-and-pvc pipe canopies. We attach one end of the sheets to the wall and use pvc piping to hold up the rest. If I get this right, anyone who logs into the forum should be able to click on the attachments and see two pictures of our canopies.

| We were able to borrow several pop-up tents from local high school athletic departments, and a few more from a local boy scout troop. Might be worth a phone call or two...

| Hello...I also did not have canopies for our Jerusalem Marketplace...our ceilings are SO high, it would be inpossible to hang anything...so... we bought lumber (2 x 4s I think) and our sexton w/ a few nails built frames...shaped like booths...I went to the local discount store and bought inexpensive sheers and/or sheets and we used a staple gun to attach to the frames...worked GREAT and can be reused...staples came out easily and the frames are dismantled for easy storage. We used for JM and will use one for Croc Dock (for the snack area)...will reassemble to use for Night in Bethlehem...I will try to post pics from my JM event later ...so you can see them...email me if you have any questions! Blessings! Kimberly

We used a combination of PVC pipe to create framework for one set of shops (along one wall of the gym) and 2x2 lumber for other walls. (The PVC pipe came in 12 foot lengths, and we had made arrangements with a local plumber to use the pipe, then return it, so couldn't cut it smaller). We strung twine in an X shape across the walls and ceiling areas to give another framework for the cloth and paper used to divide the spaces. We used rolls of brown kraft paper as well as large pieces of cloth purchased from a local thrift shop to drape between the shops and use as header.
