Show Display/Booth
Doing some brainstorming on putting a booth together for a few shows.... waterfall/pond, patio, wall, and a few plants.
How would you set the pavers so they wouldn't shift? Off hand, I'm thinking of just tacking them down with a drip of glue. (just the outer course)
The pond and waterfall will need to be raised, So would you just use the wall block and tuck the liner between the courses?

We never had a problem with the pavers shifting and minimized our cuts by laying most of the booth with pavers and then setting any walls right on top. Everyone also had to install a small ramp of mortar ( had to put duct tape on the floor first ) at all of the entrances if you were using pavers. This would take away any potential trip step. The rest of the edges we always left unsecured for the shows.

Just found this pic from one of our shows. I'll see if I can dig up some others since most of my older ones are on another CD and not the PC. This one was really cool. It had a rustic arbor which we made ourselves but the best thing was "The Raining Tree". We took an 8' tall Deodor Cedar and trimmed many of the branches. then we installed very thin, clear tubing down all the branches and tied them with fishing line. These all ran from a main 1/2" trunk line that ran up the backside of the trunk. When we turned it on, it gave the impression that it was actually raining from the tree. We threw a couple of spotlights on it and it made EVERYONE stop and look.
I'll see if I can find a pic of that.

I remember reading about the rain tree, but never saw a picture.

Agree, But I secured it better so you cant see the rope at all now. Really you can't even see the light glow from it because of the building lights.
