i'm looking at building a banner stand out of pumbing which everyone seems to do in america though that side of it should be simple enough.

im also in the same boat.
i have been looking around and it seems pretty easy to make, im thinking all acrylic or wooden banner with the wood cut out so the tubs can fit snugly in with a heat cable underneath with a sliding draw. it will have spot lights facing down on the animal and also a strip light facing the banner.
good luck with ur designs.

thanks for the adive, we're gonna go with a "step" like system that the tubs can fit snuggly into, with poles either side and a banner that goes across the top of the stand with our logo etc on.

Just trying to sort out what is the best material to use? we plan on runnign heatmats ontop of the sheet material but then covering that with a kind of black material.

the choices ive got at hand is contiboard or MDF, MDF is cheaper, and arguably easier to work with, but is heavy, contiboard is more expensive, comes in smaller sizes but looks better, BUT you wont see any of the woof because it will be covered.

what do you all think would be best?
