Whiteboard alternative

I was looking for large whiteboards I could put into a home office and since they would be meant for a project and not a permanent installation I wanted something somewhat disposable.

I decided to use 24"x36" poster frames and the cost was about $10 each.  They typically include a transparent plastic front, 4 plastic splines for the border, a generic poster image, and a hardboard back.

To use it as a whiteboard I turned the generic poster image around backwards (they are almost always white on the back) and put the frame back together.

The frame with hardboard back was much easier than the frame with corrugated cardboard backing, which was difficult to get the splines on.

pictures to come.
