If you're creating an exhibit for a museum, you handle a wide variety of pieces with different weights and dimensions. If you've used Systematic Art's rail and cable system for hanging lighter art, you know how easy hanging and displaying art can be. Use our rod system to the same effect with heavier pieces.

What is a rod system?

Rod systems are secure hanging solutions for artwork and displays that are too heavy for traditional cable display systems. But just because your heavier pieces of art require more hardware for support doesn't mean you have to resort to a clunky display that clashes with the theme or exhibit walls. Rods hang from the rail system installed on your gallery's ceiling or walls and hang down to provide tensile strength and sturdily mounted rod hooks that connect to the art's backing.

Why should you use System Art's Rod System?

  • The rods work within our universal rail system. Whether you have a temporary display of heavy pieces or you hold permanent exhibits with both lighter and heavy pieces, you can have our rail system installed and then create unique, specific displays with a mix of cables and rods. This means displays with a wide variety of pieces that differ in size, weight, and theme don't need completely separate sets of hardware, which means your exhibits more cohesive and more focused on the artwork itself.
  • Rods still allow for a minimalist, contemporary display. After a certain weight limit, most galleries and museums have to resign themselves to bulky display hardware, building permanent support into the walls, or having highly visible display systems. But our rods and rails come in any color, so you can pick them exhibit by exhibit or color-match them to the walls.

No matter what display you have in mind, Systematic Art's array of rails and rods can make it happen. Browse our selection of adjustable hardware here.
