Rotofast Cloud Anchor Alternative at Hardware store?

Does anyone know of any alternative to doing the same thing as these do at a local hardware store? Menards? Lowes? Home Depot?

Here's a thought. There are drywall anchors like that but longer. They are for hanging heavy objects on drywall. I know I've seen some large ones. You cut cut these shorter. I think that would work. Here's a generic link but most hardware stores will have them.

Hmmm, looks like he's screwing those into Johns Manville Rigid Fibreboard, not OC703!!! That means I'm not the only one using them. The anchors look way cool, wish I knew of them before.

I'm also thinking these may not work on OC703 because that stuff is kind of crumbly. The JM stuff has more fibers in it and could probably hold the hook better.

Yeah, these would work if you used eyehooks instead of regular screws. Good idea.

Hmm something like that could possibly work with a eye loop screwed into it. Chili's right though i have OC703 and although it looks similar to the rigid fibreboard its not as rigid I totally didnt notice the diff. I guess the fabric I ordered comes with some kind of straps the company notified me so that might help. I know there are a few options I'll figure something out.

I remember somebody here a long time ago saying he used pushpins or thumbtacks to hold the panels up.
