Max I need is about 10X10 feet but sometimes I only have about 6x4 feet. Often jobs take me longer to set up the shelter then complete so tool free set up would be ideal.

            <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It all started because I needed a small temporary stand for one of my video projectors. Eventually, I found I could drill and tap a 5lb weight plate easily which allowed me to screw a floor flange onto it (see photo). </p><p>While the stand is perfect for that application, I wasn't too happy about the industrial look so down the rabbit hole we went.</p><p>I'll keep this short(ish):</p><p>Version 2 involved whacking the plug cut by a 1-1/8" hole saw (or was it 1-1/4"?) into the center 1" hole in another weight plate. A 1/4-20 threaded insert screwed into the wood plug and now I had a weighted base compatible with any suitably threaded (M or F)  add-on (again, the photos make this clear). The wood plug is not going anywhere but a fender washer on the underside of the plate ensures it's not going to pull out.</p><p>Version 3 is (I think) the winner. Not sure if anyone has tried this before but it turns out it's possible to force a star nut into the base of a 3/4" compression connector. I squeeeezed the nut into the connector using my vise. With the star nut in the connector it can be VERY firmly attached to yet another 5lb weight plate by running a 1/4-20 screw up from the underside, again, through a 1-1/4" fender washer. It was necessary to wrap a few turns of electrical tape around the connector's threads just to keep it centered in the weight plate's slightly larger hole.</p><p>I've been using the plates primarily to hold photo lighting equipment and background paper.rolls.</p><p>I'll let the photos fill in the blanks. The coupler seen in one of the photos also has a wood plug (hole saws are your friend) and threaded inserted surgically implanted which is what allows it to be screwed onto the weight plate.</p>]]></content:encoded>
