I used this product to create a partition in my kitchen for some rather substantial demolition. With just a roll of 10' tall poly, I was able to seal off an old staircase from the rest of the room, leaving the kitchen functional and clean, while I removed 1.5 stories of 105 year old plaster and lathe.

For anyone that's demolished plaster and lathe, you'd know that it's an impossible amount of dust that happens to be incredibly stubborn and impossible to remove and wash off anything/everything. Using some strapping and taping up some poly was not going to be an option for me.

I received the product in very good condition, unopened, new and complete with all parts and accessories (I only say that due to other reviews I saw here).

The zipwall performed fantastically. I installed it myself without help in about 20 minutes (could have been faster if I were hurrying), and it was intuitive and easy. The included zipper (mine had 2) worked really well for a secure entry/exit, even though I stupidly installed it upside down. The poles are high quality, light, operate with ease, and were very sturdy, including multiple accidental bump-ins with me on the inside of the bubble. For those considering the higher end version of the zipwall with the steel poles, I can't imagine how heavy duty an environment would justify more than what these are.

I used all 4 poles for about 15 feet of "wall," mostly because of the odd configuration I required to keep the kitchen circulation functional while the partition was installed. The ceiling is at 8'6, though I think another 12" of height would offer the same results. The sheets held tight to the ceiling between poles without the foam accessories or any tape. I used the zipwall double-stick tape to really tighten up the edges at the walls. I'd probably recommend a 3M version, as this didn't have a ton of stick to it. It's worth noting, that too much stick could be a problem too in a finishes space and pull paint off a wall. It did hold well enough for me with a little extra pressing.

My only regret, which was not a product issue, was that I didn't take enough care with the extra slack of sheet at the bottom. I would have rathered left the slack at the top, rather than rolled up at the bottom. For my very messy job, it ended up getting in the way and dirty in the bubble, and compromised the seal a bit at the bottom a bit. A neat 4" fold would have been plenty for a nice tight bottom seal, rather than rolling up 12" or more.

Highly recommended for in-home air barrier for dust containment.

This is a pricey item, BUT if you have chores that definitely require sectioning off a space for cleaning, pigeon coups, dusty areas .. it is quick and easy and I definitely recommend!

Purchased the 10 ft product. A bit tricky to put up since I was trying to have the top attached to joists. As I spread the 3 mil 10 x 25 ft plastic, it was going well but I had to overlap the corners to hold in place.
Not that hard to do but I had to put more pressure on the poles to hold the other corners in place.
All in all this should really save me when I'm sanding my table projects and not kicking up dust in the area. I will update after using for several months.

These work well for the intended purpose but the upfront cost is on the pricy side and be careful you dont accidently loose the plastic tops that clip to the plastic sheeting. Its easy to miss them and throw away with the plastic at the end of the job. The little plastic pieces are not cheap to replace either. I think I paid around $22 bucks per little plastic pad that probably costs .25 cents. Lesson learned !

These poles, although advertised as "cheap", are surprisingly light, sturdy, and well made for their intended purpose; holding up plastic sheet to keep dust contained, and they are just perfect for that task. I bought two sets of four poles for my project. The shipping boxes only had a couple bands of tape holding them shut, but all the parts were factory fresh and no parts were missing or damaged. The ceiling feet firmly snapped on to the top of the poles, held the plastic sheet in place as designed, and held snugly against my 8 foot high flat textured ceiling. The twist locks on the poles all worked well. A pole about every five or six feet provides a reasonable seal against the ceiling. I suppose zippers and ceiling "cross members" or tape would make a tighter seal if needed, but I've kicked up a whole lot of dust and, so far, not much, if any, dust has settled outside the work area. I'm really happy with these poles!

No comment on the non-slip feet since I have carpet and am not using them.
No comment on the zippers since the "tucked in flap" is working well for me and I'm not using the zippers.
No comment on the carrying cases since I haven/t had a chance to use them yet. Since I'll probably store them in the attic until my next Harry-home-owner project, I'll likely just put the poles back in the shipping box. But I guess if one was carrying them from job to job, or otherwise using them fairly often, the storage bags would be pretty handy.

I also bought a roll of 2 mil plastic sheet 10X100 feet (plenty left over for the next project). Oh, and for the floor, a couple of "one tuff" plastic/paper drop cloths.

My task was to block off the center section of my living room to repair the ceiling drywall, an area about 8 X 13 feet. I planned on a pole in each corner and two more poles evenly spaced on each of the 13 foot runs. Here's what I did:

First, I pre-tensioned a pole about half the spring length and then used it as a guide to pre-tension the rest of the poles. I then cut a length of plastic about 45 feet long. I started at the entrance corner to the planned work area and wrapped the plastic from one corner to the next on the outside of the poles (securing the plastic to each additional pole as I went), leaving about a foot of plastic hanging out past the first pole. I only unfolded the plastic as much as needed to attach it to the top of the poles as I went, letting it overhang toward the work area about 8 or 10 inches over the top of each pole. When I got back to the starting corner I used a fifth pole a few inches away from the first (starting) pole to secure the final stretch of plastic, which I left about 3 feet long (past the starting pole). I then unfolded the plastic the rest of the way to the floor and, after moving the poles so the plastic was taunt, I tucked the plastic under the foot of each pole and then fully compressed the spring on each pole. As expected, the plastic was drooping down from the ceiling about an inch or so on the long runs, so I put up two more poles evenly spaced on the "far side", and the remaining pole in the center of the other long run; all of them fully tensioned. This seemed to snug up both sides against the ceiling pretty good, so I determined to leave the eighth pole a few inches from the starting pole, without putting the plastic under the foot of the pole, but, instead, slipping the end of the plastic between the first and final pole. This made a quick and convenient way to get in and out of the work area (without using zippers). The whole setup process took about an hour, more or less, and the poles, plastic, and drop cloth do a really good job keeping the dust contained.
