Would making a top and bottom support have enough tension to remove wrinkles? Trying to make portable frame for outdoor theater.

Mine came folded up in squares, and despite attempting to stretch it over my frame, the wrinkles are still very visible... and that was after leaving it flattened out for a couple of weeks. Unless gravity straightens things out or I can steam iron it straight, I basically just wasted $70. It's unrealistic to think I could take out the 4000 staples I've put in and restretch it.

Check out the tutorials on Carl's Web site. I followed his directions and mine turned out great!

Probably not unless using a considerable amount of weight. FYI, the wrinkles can be more quickly removed by using a hair dryer and tension. This may allow you to remove the wrinkles first then make the screen.

I purchased a large size screen material and sewed a continuous loop on all four sides. I slipped a continuous 2" PVC pipe in the top and bottom loop only. the sides were just in case and they also help prevent a tear. The top is supported by hooks and the bottom is hung by gravity only and seems to keep out wrinkles. the continuous pipe also helps reduce it from blowing in the wind. hope this is helpful.

If you order it in a roll or leave it for long enough. It comes folded so the creases are stuck in pretty good until you stretch it over a frame. If you hang it up with just a top and bottom it will straighten out, but will probably take a little time.

Yes. This was wrinkled when I bought it and I built a wooden frame (for indoors) and the wrinkles all went away.

I haven't tried it, but my guess is "no" based on how it is designed and performs upright. The tension seems to be balanced for a tabletop mount.

Yes, I suppose you could certainly rig something up by attaching a piece of tarp or sidewall to the frame. It would be simple to do.

I would think so but I am not happy with the sturdiness of the entire frame. I do not transport very far and the person is not in the chair for any length of time so it serves its purpose.

I believe it can. The screen material is backed with a heavy canvas and the poles are very sturdy and heavy. You may want to add rope supports with tent stakes to reduce movement from the top edge of the frame. It should be fine.

Yes. If you don't want it to bow out I would recommend some kind of outer support frame.

I would recommend buying some clips to stretch the cloth taut on the frame. We used 8 2-inch spring clamps (4 down each side). Other than that, you will need to have video editing software to remove the green background and insert whatever you wish to put there.

I think it would probably work well, it's not ultra thick, but did have nice stability. If you have any embossing/burning it should hold the design nicely. The price was pretty good, which is always a bonus when costuming.

I've only tried it with a 10'x20' muslin backdrop, which held up perfectly. If I had to guess, I wouldn't put any more than three times that weight, evenly distributed (that is, a 30' wide muslin for creating a draped background), but that might be pushing a bit far. Maybe 35lbs of fabric at most.

I do not know if it will prevent wrinkles. It does help plump the skin. I don't have any sagging so I can't answer as to whether it would help with that.

Yes, but as a top reviewer mentioned just mist some water on it and the wrinkles should fall right out.

Possibly... It is very sturdy. I've only tried it with a cloth backdrop & anchored a canvas backdrop to each side. Please don't take my word for it because I'm not sure about the weight limits. But it should work- it would just be difficult to change all the time.

I use a little portable iron on a low setting with no steam. Then whatever wrinkles stay, I use my photo editing software, GIMP, to edit out the rest. After I got the wrinkles out initially, I started storing them tightly rolled around a dowel, and wrapped in plastic, in between shoots. That also cuts down on the dust, etc that they inevitably collect. I also keep a fabric roller ( they are cheap at a dollar store) with my studio, to roll over them just before shooting. That cuts down on the background issues. My only complaint about the studio is the lights don't seem quite bright enough. Happy shooting! I use a little portable iron on a low setting with no steam.

yes you probably can-- if you offset the supports away from each other by an inch.That should give you the results you want and it won't diminish the support structure.Hope this helps ~

I don't think it would be very easy. This is an acordian style frame so you would end up withlots of gaps. Also it hangs a foot past the legs on all sides.

Yeah, you should be able to use it with a grommet top. The backdrop is sizable

I thikn that might work out OK for you. It comes in 4 pieces that seem to have some flexibility to them if you put the tallest piece under say a 1" foundation. It might be a little bit of a bump, but you could also raise the 2nd piece slightly to make it flatter.
