Anyone use ZipWall poles for a dust barrier?

They are about $150 for 4EA. I don't see a lot of other options.

I used the zipwall but not the poles and used blue tape to attach my plastic to the wall. It worked for the most part but ripped off some paint.

That is my worry. Also, I have 6 mil plastic sheeting and don't have tape that will hold. Ceiling are tall.

I picked up a set for $100 when I started my renovation last year. They work great! I ended up taping the edges as well (frog tape worked best) because if you don’t you’re still going to get dust. Also, shut down your a/c and plastic/tape off your return.

Yup
Toss in a air scrubber and you will kill much of any dust

Bought a set for when I had to tear out all the tile in my house... worked well for the most part.
We were living in the house, so we’re constantly moving back and forth through the “work zone”... dust still got everywhere by being tracked around, but not nearly as bad as it would have been.
As for alternatives... look at getting a few of these from Harbor Freight:

I like the zip wall system better, but having a few extra of the HF ones to supplement worked well

We have done a few projects and what I did was close everything off to the room, opened a window and put a box fan there. Used cardboard and tape to block out both side of the box fan and it blows out of the house. At the farthest point from the window I lifted sheeting about 10" off the floor. When you turn the fan on all of the sheeting starts sucking in. Secure it if needed to floor.
Basically create a "negative pressure" room so the dust cannot go into the rest of the house. It is going out the window if it is in the air. I have used this method a number of times for tile work, and using an airless sprayer on a living room wall unit I built.
Highly recommend doing this. Cheap and highly highly effective.
