What are rails?
The type of Rails available for this map are wooden dowels that connect to the top and the bottom of the map to help it hang flat against the wall.
The top rail has a thin rope that can hang from a hook or nail.
The bottom rail has a thin rope used to pull the map down.
These rails serve as a hanging option that eliminates the need for tape or pushpins. |
