Re: Plexiglass

Yes, that
is what I was trying to convey.  The plexiglass would be held onto
the module with a piece of moulding that the plexiglass would slip into,
the Velcro on the Plexiglass would only hold the skirting onto the plexiglass. 
If we put the moulding on the lower half of the facia we could then position
the Velcro on the Plexiglass in approximately the same place heightwise
as the Velcro on the modules.

But, perhaps putting the Velcro on the moulding would be the better way to go. Just keep the moulding at the same height as the velcro on the modules so we wouldnt have any problems with skirt length.

Adrian,

Yes, Velcro comes with sticky back.  However, I wouldn't trust either the sticky back or the Velcro
to hold the plexiglass - it is just too heavy.  Also, think about the torque that is applied to the edge
where the plexiglass would be attached to the module - Velcro would never hold.

It seems to me we could either have a piece of moulding with a flat outer edge to which we could
attach the Velcro for the skirt or put the Velcro below the moulding.  Of course, the skirt might be too
long if we move the Velcro down an inch or so.

That brings up another point.  If we shorten the legs to lower the layout we also have to shorten
the skirt so it doesn't drag on the floor.
