Where can I find stands to hold a large black screen?

Question

See my earlier question ( http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AggjOaKp_6OD2AdYpcBCiXTsy6IX?qid=20070302120144AAKQbjE ) about a black cloth - I also want to know where I can get two stands that would hold this large cloth screen background in place? Something like a clothesline holder maybe?

Thanks so much for your help!

Answer 1

I would put a 'hem' at bot the top and bottom of your 'cloth' just large enough to hold a 'wooden dowel' or square piece of wood long enough to go all the way through with at least two inches on each end, and then nail that wood to 'uprights' ... that way your cloth wouldn't have any 'irregularities' but would be 'very flat and straight' ...
And I loved your video, by the way ... even though I really don't 'approve' of skateboarding for most people ... because the person in the video is obviously 'professional quality' and a person who 'started slow' and learned how to 'board' well without making 'injurious mistakes.'

I would recommend you make your own out of PVC poles and elbows. That way you could size it to your needs. Make a hem on the top and bottom of your fabric to fit over the poles at the top and bottom of the frame. Make your frame in the shape of a square. Insert the top and bottom poles in the elbows on the side poles. Insert the side poles into flanges that you attach to a square of plywood ( large enough to prevent the screen from tipping ). I wish I could draw you a picture. I hope you understand my instructions.
