This shows our 8×8 and 8×10 step-and-repeat stands fully extended to 8 feet tall and 8 full width. I set this up at home to give everyone an appreciation of how tall 8 feet really is. The door in the background is a standard size door. Note that the 8×8 does not have a center support post. The 8×10 and 8×12 stands do have a center support post.

All of the parts are carried in a strong canvas case with handles and a shoulder strap. The stand and case weigh about 5 pounds.
The first step is assembling the feet to the side supports. Slide the side support post into the foot and attach with one screw up through the bottom. Very simple… Note that the 8×8 stands have a single foot at each side of the stand. The 8×10 and 8×12 stands have an extra piece for each foot to help support the extra weight and size.

This image shows the feet for the 8×10 and 8×12 backdrops. Note that the 8×8 stands do not have these heavy-duty feet.

Once both supports are attached to the feet, you are through the toughest part of the frame setup. Pretty easy so far…right?

The top and bottom support poles are each a single piece. The poles are telescoping and will adjust to size. No tools are required.

This is where you add the step-and-repeat backdrop to the stand. Slide the lower support through the bottom pole pocket. Then attach the bottom section to each of the side supports.

Place the top pole through the top pole pocket of the backdrop.  Attach the top pole to the side supports. No tools are required.

The side supports are telescoping, so once the backdrop is in place and the stand assembled, you just adjust the side supports upward until the backdrop is fully extended and tight. That is all there is to the process. You are now ready to enjoy your event.
