Abstract
A system for connecting sheet material to a pole extending between a first surface and a second surface comprises a foot member a foot member comprising a first attraction member and a second attraction member. The foot member is detachably attached to a first end of the pole. A second end of the pole is in contact with the first surface. The first and second attraction members are magnetically attracted to each other such that a first portion of the sheet material is detachably attached to the foot member. The foot member engages the second surface to hold the sheet material in a desired configuration relative to the first surface and the second surface.

A system for connecting sheet material to a pole extending between a first surface and a second surface, comprising:
- a foot member comprising a first attraction member;
- a second attraction member;
- whereby
- the foot member is detachably attached to a first end of the pole;
- a second end of the pole is in contact with the first surface;
- the first and second attraction members are magnetically attracted to each other such that a first portion of the sheet material is detachably attached to the foot member;
- and
- the foot member engages the second surface to hold the sheet material in a desired configuration relative to the first surface and the second surface.
A method of supporting sheet material in a desired configuration relative to first and second surfaces:
- providing a pole:
- providing a foot member;
- attaching a first attraction member to the foot member;
- detachably attaching the foot member to a first end of the pole;
- arranging the pole such that a second end of the pole is in contact with the first surface;
- arranging a second attraction member such that magnetic attraction between the first and second attraction members detachably attaches a first portion of the sheet material to the foot member;
- and
- engaging the foot member with the second surface to hold the sheet material in the desired configuration relative to the first and second surfaces.
