I'm starting to work (in my brain, at least) on treating my "studio" (aka family room, aka home office). However, we're empty nesters now, and we may be moving to a smaller place in a year or two. So, I don't want to go drilling a lot of holes in the walls, just to have to patch them all if/when we move.
Can corner bass traps be free standing? I've seen sketches of them involving rigid fiberglass panels screwed to cleats on the walls. But I'm thinking about something like a 3-legged table with the fiberglass spanning the outside legs. Maybe with a triangular wood top to make it look more like furniture, and to give the cats something to sit on as they look down upon me, rather than a large open-topped cavity that needs to be explored and hidden in.
Of course, if there's a surface to be sat upon, they'll need to climb my fabric-covered panels to get there. Maybe I should just make them full ceiling height.
Anyway, back on-topic: do corner traps need to be fastened to the wall?
