Can the panels be folded flat (accordian like) against the wall when not in use?

Probably, as long as you FIRST remove the plastic end caps between each of the fence segments. The caps do come off easily, so no worries on that.

They can be installed to fold toward the center: however, if they are used this way they fold one on top of the other and protrude when folded. We installed them to fold all in the same direction so they fold tightly to the table bottom without protruding-- makes storage against a wall easier.

The shelves fold flat, you would need to dismantle two of the side supports for entire unit to fold flat.

Hello: Yes, it can be folded and placed in corner. I have two that I use as a room divider to hide the pile of ironing and boxes when company comes. I'm glad I got them. I also use them as room dividers for extra guests.

When folded it will stand up against a wall very well. I actually hang mine on a hook in the garage

Honestly, I have not tried...so I can't say 100%. But the way the whole thing collapses and folds together, I would think you could. The strength of the unit though, is in the shape; the hexagon makes for a more stable structure. I have plans to add 2 more panels, but I believe those will connect at the opening that is currently there. I wish I could be of more help.

Yes, each panel disconnects at each end or you can leave them attached but loosen to fold up.

Yes. you could probably attach them together with piano hinges. It would require some drilling of holes on the sides of the panels. I would probably attach them together with some #8-32 short flat head machine screws and nylon insert lock nuts. You would lose some of the weight supporting ability by not having them secured to a wall, but they would still hold a fair amount of weight if needed. For strength I would try to keep the screw spacing at about every six inches. It would make a very interesting shoji style screen.

It can be folded flat, but if it isn't put in a tight space it will probably spring back into shape. The wire in the end pieces is very flexible.

Yes, it folds fairly flat for storage. The folding arrangements work easily.As stated by another -yes it folds easy! (If placed against a wall when folded, nothing sticks out more than 6-1/8 inches, unless the little yellow clamping blocks are in place on the table, which adds about another inch.)

I don't know why you'd want to do that, you but you certainly could. The seams along the sides are raised, but the rest are not. However, these are structured to have ample space by having a "box bottom", so the tabs created from this that are on the bottom-inside will show and stick out if you use them inside out - not that it matters. It's doable - if that's the main question.

I have never tried to do this, but if you folded it lengthwise, you probably could. It would be tricky to do though and you would probably need help to compress and role at the same time.

Yes, they do but it is quite sturdy and it would take a lot of wind to damage the one I bought. Getting it folded probably won't be easy tho, nor getting it back up. What I do is just pull the entire thing out of the ground and lay it down against the garage.

yes you can fold them , but it makes it so small an add shaped it takes forever to use them . a pain to use you have to go very slow

Yes, you can leave the hangers in the holes. The hangers will lie pretty flat against the wall.

It does not fold flat. The hinges allow for mobility but if you need to store it you may need to take it apart. For temporary storage you can make the span open less and stand it up somewhere.

Yes, it can be placed flat against the wall - the arm straightens out completely.
