Safety with high or tilted walls Because the Margay is so narrow front to back, there is a danger of tipping with high walls.

    It is possible to hang a single row of Margays upside down to make a banner. Be sure the ceiling can hold them. Planar does not provide any special brackets to hang a Margay upside down. There are too many variables to consider, so the method to use is best determined on site.
