Default How to hang up posters in garage? (Offtopic)

I just bought some Porsche heritage and racing posters and would like to hang them up in my garage but I'm having a hard time figuring out which would be the best way.

Any Ideas?

Most people simply buy some good quality metal frames with glass (not plastic). In UK the best place is probably Habitat - I wouldn't know about USA.

I've used Uniframe's for all of my posters. It's a kit that sandwiches your poster between a styro backing board on the inside and a piece of glass on the outside. It's held together by adjustable acrylic clips on the back with nylon cord under tension. Sounds elaborate but really isn't, and it protects your poster from deterioration and damage. Looks great, the cool part is there's no frame on the outside.

Glass can be heavy if it is a big poster and frame. They make acrylic lens or glazing lens (really, plastic) that has the clarity of glass, much lighter and UV coated to protect from fading.

I just bought 3 poster frames last night, got a great price - Custom sizes, elsewhere is usually twice the amount I paid.

Went to wholesale poster frames.com .

If you buy there, in the checkout add the promo code ZXFTU46658 and get a 5% discount on your order.

Cheers!
