sandwich board help

hi, I need help making sandwich boards. all the ones I make are to short
too skinny or flop over and not tall enough. I was wondering if anyone
has some close up pics of some.

twice as wide as high, i think we made 3 at 1ft, 1.5ft, and 2ft high
(if it was straight up and down)

you can't really see it, but there are holes drilled in the boards, and
cord going between them to prevent them from opening up on you (which
doubles as a nice carrying handle)

ok cool. I would want 2 make at least 3 with varying heights so I could
make a little portable trials course.

stable?
