Working on my setup once again

In the picture below, my little inspector
Every week is just as much work as the previous one because I always working on improving the way my setup look but mostly I try to make things more efficient so I can setup faster without stress and take it down just as fast.
Last year I was the first to start setting up and the last one to finish, and same when it was time to take everything down. I want to change that!
To cut down the time of taking everything up and down, I've tested a few different hooks. At first I started to make them permanent, I tight them up and glued them.
I quickly changed my mind and made hooks that can be moved as i change my setup and bring different pictures.
I changed the way I fix the hooks, got rid of the wires and started to use some zip ties, They hold much better and they're faster to tie. I know they're not reusable but I don't plan on changing the location of my hooks very often.
I picked hooks in a U shape and put two side by side because in a outdoor setup, the wind is often a problem.
I always try to think of a way to not spend too much money but make things work well and look good. The picture above top corner show shower curtain hooks tied up with a wire so I can just hook the chicken wire walls to my canape instead of tying them up every time while trying to support it with my other hand, That was a workout!  
The picture above bottom right corner show my improved floating price tags, they look like they are fixed on the frame or canvas but they are floating and permanent so all I need to do is put the picture in the location assigned to it.
I made myself some signs that tells me where each pictures go.

Each wall are now numbered to be in a specific location

 The two pictures above show the setup I was gonna have last week, But wasn't able to make it since my car decided that it wasn't gonna happen. This week, I'm using my boyfriend's vehicle so I will be there. The set up will be a little bit different since I framed more prints.

Let's hope for sunshine!
