Karin:
My panels are wire frames and don't have fabric covers. I stretch some 60 inch wide cloth behind them so you cannot see through and that works pretty well. The Pro Panels are covered in carpet and they are pretty much the top-o-the-line. The GDS panels are cheaper, lighter, and they have the advantage of breaking apart in the middle so they will go into a smaller vehicle and store a bit easier.
I have 10 full panels (20 halves - 10 tops and 10 bottoms). This is enough to easily cover three complete walls of my booth. How I set them depends on where I am in the show. If I am on a corner, then I leave two sides open and put panels on the other two. If I am in a row, then I will put panels on most of three sides leaving me space to put my easel in one back corner. I like to work during shows as it really draws people into the booth and gets them excited about your art. I work on charcoals as painting is just too much to do and my paintings always have that "difficult" stage which I am not too happy to have people see. The charcoal is easy and it looks finished as you do it.
The panels are about 3'2" wide and they are about 6 feet tall. I put work down about 2/3s from the floor so nothing is so low that it escapes notice. The pic above is from the GDS website and is not my art.
The canopy roof goes up to about 8 feet. I usually keep mine at about 7.
I don't sit right at the entrance to the booth as it keeps some people from wanting to come in. I try to sit off to one side if I am not inside working.
