construct DETACHABLE fabric screens over inside/out walls

Hi folks,
Not trying to re-invent the wheel, but wondering if anyone has created or come across a funky way to construct fabric screens to conceal insulation, then to fixed to studs, but can also be detached/unscrewed for cleaning or if a change may need to be made down the track ?

I'm using steel studs, as I find it much easier to work with, but mainly because I have a wild termite issue in this building and they eat anything! - so no timber, other than superficial mouldings etc are being used. Its been suggested that I simply run timber battens over the steel frame, and staple fabric to those - which would be fine - but just wondering if anyone has come across alternative mounting techniques for the fabric? I mean it must be a nightmare to clean, what if someone pours a beer all over it? Or beetroot sauce? ;)

Cheers
R

Most people just build wood frames and staple the fabric to that. There are also commercial systems for mounting fabric. I recall that someone posted a link recently, but I don't remember where! If you search the forum, you might find it ...
