Using Sectional Backdrops

Sectional Backdrops Instructions

A group of jockeys ride horses on a racetrack, passing by grandstands under a scenic backdrop of a blue sky. The image has a collage-like appearance with paper scraps around it.

Sectional Backdrops consist of horizontal zippered panels that can be removed when a full hanging height is not available or required. The ties and pockets can be attached to any section.

1. Establish the required hanging height:

First, check the required hanging height that the backdrop will hang from. Second, check the backdrop sectional diagram label shipped with the backdrop to see a diagram of the backdrop sections.

The Sectional Diagram

Diagram of a sectional backdrop for CN 001 Viva Las Vegas, featuring zip sections, ties, and labeled top, middle, bottom sections depicting a vibrant casino theme with chips and neon signs. This scenic backdrop brings the glitz of Vegas to life.

From this diagram you can calculate the sections to be removed to achieve the closest to your required hanging height. (Ideally a backdrop including the ties and pocket should hang 10mm – 20mm above the ground.) Further height adjustment can be achieved with the included height adjustment straps.

2. Removing the Backdrop Sections:

(All zips detach from the left side of the backdrop)

  • a. unzip ties from the top section
  • b. unzip the top section
  • c. zip the ties onto top of middle section
  • d. hang backdrop in position
  • e. sleeve pocket (place a pipe or crossbar in here to add weight and diminish creases)
