I like Sues last option with the grommets and linen back..the bottom
dwel is what was also used in large theater curtains and they had chin
as counterweight also..
from a cost and practical aspect the linen and grommets sound
good...however if your worried about UV or people touching.. then I
guess plexi however they will be a lot of weight and cost....place the
poster out of the sun and it will have the most vivid detail if its us
issued...think how did they display them originally..i would guess like
i did when we did the posters in the 80s and they would glue them on
walls with weat paste almost like decopauge bur then it would destroy
the collectable value.but thats how the poster men did it in the old
days//wheat paste like wallpaper...LOL:)
Sues the frame queen andi think heridea has themost merit..
rock it Sue!

They do make acrylic large enough for a 6 sheet, but it is not UV
filtered or non glare coated. Non glare is a bit of a necessity when
framing something this large, otherwise, it looks like a mirror in
your room. Alan is right, you have to use a wood frame and you have to
have a back frame made for it. So, imagine an oil painting that gets
stretched around a wooden square. Once the outer wood frame is built
and the plexiglass, poster and foamcore backing is put in it, you put
a back frame in all of that (so the main frame has to be deep enough
to accomodate all the ingredients). Then the back frame gets nailed
into the main front frame but the hanging straps are put on the back
frame and not the main frame. The main frame is pretty much just
decorative at this point as you can put a hanging wire or D rings on
that as the stress is too much. That's why you put a D ring on each of
the two vertical sides of the back frame and hang it with two hooks or
nails sturdy enough to accomodate the weight of the overall piece.
As for the plexiglass, you have to find a place that will take a
regular piece of 1/8" thick acrylic and have it treated with a UV
coating and, preferably, a non glare coating. That cost is probably
going to be the most expensive component of the frame.
I have had a few other customers hang 6 sheets like a tapestry. They
linenback it and leave excess linen that they can put some grommets in
the border to hang with decorative chain. You would also put some
grommets in the bottom of the excess linen so you can put a wooden
dowel behind the bottom of the excess linen to hold everything down so
the linenbacked poster doesn't roll up on you..
Just some thoughts on how people have done it in the past. I no longer
frame 6 sheets as it's a lot of work to do.....

SUBJECT: Re: [MOPO] Help- 6 sheet framing/display
I once thought about using a pair of cut down 4'x9' plexi panels and
using
polycarbonate H channel to join them. Something like this:

But then I moved and no longer have a place to display a six sheet,
so I
abandoned the idea.
