ABSTRACT:
An attachment and tensioning system for a planar structure, including a flexible structure, for use with a sign, awning, mural, painting canvas, or roll-up door. One variation includes a first fixed portion for attaching one edge of the structure, such as via an opening for receiving a beaded or otherwise lockable structure edge, a moveable portion attachable to a second structure edge, and a tensioning device coupleable to the moveable portion and a second fixed portion. In one variation, the tensioning device attaches to and tensions the planar structure via levering. In another variation, the planar structure includes pairs of opposite edges, the first fixed portion and the moveable portion being located on an opposing pair of edges, and a second fixed portion and second moveable portion being located on another opposing pair of edges. Another variation includes two fixed attachment sections, and the planar structure has a stretchable section.
