Morning all, I have recently acquired a solar panel and I would ideally like to make up a frame to make it free standing whilst
camping. Does anyone have any ideas (or pictures!!) on how to make up a stand/frame?
Thanks

Pajman Pete's idea seems to be the best :-)

Hi Andrew, i have 2 x 80bp solar panels which i welded a frame of a freestanding
sign to a metal bracket ( 25mmx150mm ) which i bolted to the frame of the solar panels. When set the panels are fully adjustable. Sorry i dont have photos.
cheers, Lance

I have used a couple of plastic hinges, some flat aluminium strips and some small square channel and pop riveted it all together. It all folds flat and is very light and corrosion free.
I have photos but don't know how to show them here
