Please correct my text, I cannot do better :-(

Hi,
I have thought about it for such a long time but I didn´t find a way to correct it on on my own..

"We can spare yourself to order the suspension points, by changing the stand design. The high banner won´t be hanged from the ceiling but will be connected to the stand by the use of metal frames."

Please help me!!!

Thanks

Pamela

Pamela81The high banner won´t be hanged from the ceiling but will be connected to the stand by the use of metal frames."
This sentence is no problem. You just need a different past participle.
"Hanged" comes from a special verb, as in "He was hanged by the neck until dead."

The banner won't be hung from the ceiling.

Dear Avangi,
thank you so much, it was of help and very clear now.

:-) About "suspension points" I can read this expression everytime I order them on the Fair´s website so I guess it is correct... Anyway thank you so much!!!

Best wishes
Pamela

From the US point of view, "spare" is dated when used in this sense. "Save" is the common choice.

Well, we sometimes use it sarcastically:

Would you like to hear me sing The Star Spangled Banner again? (reply) Spare me!

Also, "The Governor spared his life" is still used.
