Step 1: Assemble the Aluminum Frame

The frame pieces are labeled for quick assembly and simply slide together to create a sturdy structure.

Our heavy-duty aluminum hardware is designed to withstand repeated setups while remaining lightweight enough for easy transport.

Step 2: Slide on the Backdrop Cover

Once the frame is assembled, slide the tension fabric cover over the frame like a pillowcase.

The stretch fabric creates a smooth, wrinkle-free finish without the need for clips or additional hardware.

---

Step 3: Zip the Backdrop Closed

Finish by zipping the bottom of the backdrop cover.

This creates the tension that gives the backdrop its clean, professional appearance.

Within minutes, your backdrop is ready for photos, branding, or event décor.
