How hard is it to hang this 9ft wide so it looks completely flat, with no drape-like undulations? I have a 10ft wide stand. The top bar sags a bit.

It does not sag because the cardboard roll that it is on is firm & dies not sag

Not hard at all. The background is super thick, almost like a vinyl awning level of thinkness. If you weighted the bottom with a couple of clamps, it would hang straight. Best, Stephen

I attached mine to a 2" x 10' PVC pipe (cut to 9.5') . No sag. I store it in a 4' x 10' Pvc pipe with end caps.

I use clamps all the way across and it's perfect. My stand is like yours and I have no problems. I highly reccommend this as an affordable backdrop.

It shouldn't be a problem; the material is thick so it is easy to make it flat with no drape effect. In fact it seems to me it would be difficul to drape this in a useful fashion. Just remember that it will only be 6 feet long which is a bit short for most uses.

my stand is 10ft wide as well , but i took out a bar to make it close enough to the stands so there would be no drape , if you cant do that id suggest getting a PVC pipe just long enough to fit in the rolled pipe , but you want to hang it the other way so , im not sure , i dont think it will be a problem , hope this helps sorry wish i could help more

I noticed one comment here mentions that they simply ran it right through. The problem with that is that mine arrived rolled up on the long end AND the vinyl wasn't secured to the cardboard roll. I taped it to a 10' EMT conduit and it stay's perfectly straight. If your top bar already sags, you'll need something different. This will be far to heavy.

I used a 10' stick of 3/4" electrical metallic tubing from Home Depot and ran it through the center. It cost me 3$ and It will be straight forever

The top bar is in four pieces that connect. It is not telescoping, so you couldn't make it less wide if you wanted to. In case I'm wrong, I would wait and listen to another reply before you make any judgements on mine.

The top bar is 10 feet. You would probably need about a 16 foot space to fit it with the stands.

I used 6' wood bamboo flooring and experienced zero sag. I would recommend this stand without reservation. This is an excellent stand.

Harla is correct. I thought I should mention that the top of the stand is slightly flexible. I was able to push mine down a tiny bit to be able to fit it under an overhang on my deck.

I got this wall mount and I hanged an 80" flat tv. It is holding very good but you will need to find the stud in the wall and use the big screws into the stud. The drywall will not support it by itself.

It won't be real tight. It just hangs. As for the clamps, if you don't have a rod pocket on your backdrop, use the clamps like a clothespin. I guess if you wanted to, you could use the clamps to stretch it a little tighter side to side at the top with a rod pocket too. {I don't know why you would need to} But the rest will just hang. If you need to get wrinkles out, set it up a day or two before hand and let them 'fall' out. The sides of the backdrop don't connect to the stand. Only the top of the backdrop. I hope this answers your question.

I had the same problem. You have to wedge the hanger over and through the bottom wires. The hook goes over the first bar and under the second. It took me a while to figure out. If you zoom in close on the picture, you can kind of see.

Just something to think about. You can buy a ultra thin tilting wall mount, drill two extra holes to fit it to this stand, and now you have a tilting stand. This is what I did. If you're a little handy it can be done in about an hour. I'll try to post some pictures in a review I'm planning to write. The front feet stand out far enough that there is no danger of this falling forward.

Hi Scott,...In all the years that I have had this stand,it has never become loose,or cause a tilt.I have really big winds here,too,..thought you would like to know that.Happy looking,and good luck finding just the right stand for you.

Cross bar is telescoping and i'm pretty sure it just fits stud on top of stand but its been awhile since I've set it up and its not easy to get to at the moment. I do know we were very pleased with it. We actually are displaying a queen size Quilt from it in a store front window. So it holds a decent amount of weight. Hope this helps

HI, I, too, have a 15' stand. I added chain to both ends to make it usable. It does hang a bit low to the ground. I wish it were higher.

I don't realistically see how you could project on the ceiling with the default stand because all the cable are on the back. You could maybe build a custom little stand pretty easy.

Due to the fact it needs to be assembled I put the bar in front. Had the same problem you do with the plumbing. The unit is top heavy and must be mounted to the wall. I rigged that myself with a screw and picture hanging wire. I actually love the look of this item, even with the difficulties I had.

I would not attempt to do this assembling with the shelf on top. I think that the height of the hanging folders would cause a problem with the shelf laying flat....I suggest you google the name of the company and call them to ask the same question. You need a unit with a top overlay covering. What benefit would you have to the shelf just covering the top and not the lower unit?

Geoffrey I have hung mine similarly. Can't post a pic on the answer so I will do so in feedback. Please look there.

I did something similar, and I liked the effect. I like how it makes it into a continual frame-like experience at a distance. Close up, you can see the gap between the 48" and the 6" piece. I've thought about a black piece of electrical tape to eliminate the gap. Hanging it was no problem - I put one hanger on the small piece and the other on the long piece, and I alternated (put the small piece on the other corner at the bottom then it is on the top) to increase structural integrity. All in all, it works.
