love this version! A lot of people have just shown the 1 frame, no middle pole, but I like the idea of the middle one for stability and the hight is great for a lot of occasions. I'm doing one for our son's 1st birthday party and I think this is simple enough but still has a great wow factor.

Just did this for my sisters 30th Birthday for a backdrop here in Australia and it cost around $62 Aud in total which is awesome! Thanks man, really appreciate it. :)

[@missstarr682]

I just made this myself and honestly, it was so friggin e-z! All together, I spent $25.96 at my local Home Depot and one of the employees was more than happy to help me cut the pvc. if I had to cut it, I would have needed a ratchet, a tape measure and a marker to mark the measurement intervals on the pvc. I'm using these for a backdrop to be used during a panel discussion. For real. His instructions are super simple. I listened twice: once for the supply list and a second time for the instructions. If you need a cheap alternative to a $200 pipe and drape system, give this a try! Thanks for the great tutorial👍👍👍

Thank you so much for the info,if i want to make a smaller one can i use less pipe,what do you think give me an idea please and thank you 🙏

[@TechnicallySpeaking]

Yep, you sure can

[@tyronedomingo2587]

People... I'm not trying to hate on the video, I'm here simply to help others. Some people in the comments noted that their bill came up to $25. Some said $50-$80, depending on the region. *There are inexpensive photography backdrops that can achieve this for about the same price.* And you don't need to go and shop for pipes and work with all these small parts. The backdrops come with a nice carrying case. You can easily take them apart for portability with far fewer pieces than what was used in this project. And the stands will look much more professional than pipes. The stands are also more stable than this design. If someone steps onto the fabric or a tipsy person staggers into it, it will come down easier than the dedicated stands because they have wider bases than these. You can also use sand bags with either design. Good luck.

Hi! First pinned comment on the video has the measurements used. :)

[@deanaspeer3459]

If I substituted the 2 elbow connectors with t-connectors would there be room to add a second bar so I could hang two rows of curtains (going for a two toned looked with sheer curtains)?

[@TechnicallySpeaking]

+Deana Speer I think so, I'm having some trouble picturing that, but you might need a wider footprint to help sustain that weight

[@abzainazraai]

Does it more stable if we use connector betweet 2 pipes compared to just one long pipe in minutes 1:58

[@TechnicallySpeaking]

Yes it would

could I make this wider by adding more middle stands for stability? if so how far from each other do i have to put each stability pipe(stand)? I'm trying to make a backdrop 20ft wide or so. I worry that it can be pushed over and it falling completely because I'm using it as a divider.

Hi. Would the total dimensions be 6ft by 10 ft? Thank you!

[@963purple]

Hi, my name is Rhonda. I just viewed your video on constructing a PVC backdrop. That is exactly what I need. However, could you tell me if I wanted to make mine 6.5 ft to 7.0 ft tall, and kept your other dimension for the other pieces,, do you think it would hold up OK. or should I make adjustments to any other of the pieces to accommodate it? Also I noticed in your video you said the width was about 8ft, but I figure with your (2) 3 ft sections plus (2) 2 ft. sections it would come out to 10 ft. I don't understand that part. I need to make this by tomorrow, so if you can find time to reply, I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you very much in advance!

[@TechnicallySpeaking]

It should hold up ok, but you could always add more supports if you wanted. Like another vertical tower or thicker PVC

[@963purple]

Thanks for your reply. Did you notice my comment about yours being 10 ft. but you said 8 ft. could you clarify that? Thanks.

[@TechnicallySpeaking]

I did see it, and honestly I need to go back and rewatch the video to see exactly what I did say because I can't remember 😂🤦‍♂️

[@963purple]

In your video you said it was approximately 8 ft. wide. but if you add the 2 section cross bars together which is (2) 3 ft sections plus (2) 2 ft. sections it would come out to 10 ft. That is what I did not understand.

[@willparsons32]

WOW!! We Canadians sure pay a hefty price here... Honestly, After calling the Home Depot here where I live, they told me: 1) they don't carry the 1" stuff and; 2) before taxes the order (55 feet of tubing + fittings) came out to 83ish dollars - that's before taxes here! Makes it hard here to do simple projects when they see yea coming through the door - sorta speak! (Thanks for your reply btw!) :)
