This looks like a great idea. I might get a large piece of finished plywood and screw the cleats onto that, then screw the plywood to the wall. If I wanted to move it, just unscrew the plywood from the wall.
Thank you I appreciate it! It’s perfect for a small space like mine, I wish I did it sooner 😄 I got inspiration from the artists Andrew Tischler & Carla Grace.
Instead of a bevel on the top and a square on the bottom of the cleat, try this: Bevel the bottom and top of the cleat rails the same, like a parallelogram, and similarly bevel the top and bottom of the male block that attaches to the canvas. If you do that, you can put the cleat rails closer together. Also, white is an absolutely awful choice for art studio walls. It'll create a glare on your canvas from reflected light, and it can also fool your perception of tones and colors, making it more difficult to get an accurate painting. I recommend painting all of your studio walls with a matte/flat mid-tone neutral gray, your ceiling flat black, and wearing dark clothing when you paint, but you do you.
