Our office is near an AC vent, and partitions tip over when the air kicks on. How do I stabilize them?
Light partitions tip easily. Here are solutions:
| Solution | Cost | Effectiveness | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sandbag or weight on base | $10-30 | Excellent | Any partition with frame |
| Widen feet (attach 2x4 under base) | $5 | Good | DIY, temporary |
| Draft blocker skirt (at bottom) | $15 | Moderate | Redirects airflow |
| Move partition away from vent | Free | Excellent | If space allows |
| Connect multiple partitions in zigzag | Free | Good | Stability increases with joints |
