Has anyone hung canvas drop cloth over framed / unfinished walls?

I have some unfinished walls in the basement, some with exposed fibreglass
that I would like to contain.

I do not want to hang drywall, as thats a huge (read expensive) job, and
right now, I am just looking for a solution.

Thanks,

Bob

I just drywalled an 18X32 room including ceiling for under 250.00 not
including mud and paint.But the mud cost 12 bucks and I paid 5.00 a gal for
oooops paints, which I got lucky and got matching colors.
The canvas tarps that I have cost 159.00 for a 20 X 16. Do the math, I can't
think that a temporary solution would be cheaper. If you can't afford to
drywall all at once then buy a couple of sheets at a time, hang em and go
from there.

Drywall is pretty cheap, actually.

How much wall do you need to cover? If it's insulated, don't forget you need
to install a vapour barrier.

Bob,

Why not buy a roll of plastic and attach it with a staple gun. The
fiberglass should have been installed "paper" side facing into the basement
so I'm not sure why you say it's exposed

Infact i do have a plastic dropcloth stapled to the wall. I was just
looking for something nicer.

The fibreglass is fiber out, poor contstruction perhaps.... Harry
homeowner? Dunno.
