Superchunk corner bass trap?

[Xgm3]

I'm moving into a new place, and will be making two bass traps. They will go in the corners of the room from floor to ceiling. So they will be 8ft tall. I was looking for suggestions on how I should build the frames to hold them in place?

Are you looking to build something like this?

Or this?

I would build a simple wood frame, like the rail and stile system for panel style doors, and stretch frabric across the area where the panel would be.

Like the first. I hadn't seen the one Flint metioned before. That looks interesting.

The rail and stile approach can look very good. You can stain the wood and keep it exposed to the room, making for a clean and architectural look and feel. The fabric can be anything that looks good and has a relatively open (non-shiny) weave. By stapling the fabric to the rear of the frame, you get the look of a proper panel.

How did you make the frame for yours?
