DAVID'S  CARPENTRY
FabricMate Tackboards.
The customer wanted the FabricMate tackboards system installed in their office.  The  demonstration below is from the FabricMate website.
   
   
   
   
They wanted three large tackboards installed with a day planner next to each one.  Each tackboard was over 12 feet long, but they can be made to any size you want. 

These are made with the pre-made panels. 

You also have the option of making the panels on site with the tracks and substrate  which you can then cut to any size you need.
The panels are attached with drywall screws.  They are screwed into the drywall, no need to screw them into the studs.  They have to be level and plumb.
The fabric is rolled out and cut to size.  It is then tucked into the track with the tools below.
The finished product.  There are many fabrics to choose from.
If there are light switches, outlets, thermostats on the wall it's not a problem......
......simply cut around them.
