How to Make a Collapsible Backdrop Arch

Beautiful 😍 you make it look simple and with every detail thank you 🙏

[@woodshopbox]

I'm trying to be as open as possible :)

[@jennifergutierrez8412]

Great video! May I ask what the measurements are of the legs?

[@nestorcortez1474]

What size plywood do you use, 1/2” or 3/4”?
And the bendable plywood what thickness is it?

[@scottklein7903]

Love these designs. Do you have any plans? Also, have you ever tried putting wallpaper on the plywood for a design? We’re trying that out this summer and are using Canva to make some designs. Thoughts?

[@woodshopbox]

Thank you, I haven't created any plans yet, still have to learn that software. As for wallpapers, I know that people that I build it for put decals and different kind of wallpapers on a plywood, than taking it off pretty easy and reuse these backdrops for multiple event decorations 👍

where do you get the walls for the support in standing ? do you make those too? I didn't see where you made them in the video?

[@woodshopbox]

I make the stand for the back as well, I'll include it in the video next time 👍

[@alexandraguillen8163]

Thank you for this! It’s so helpful, may I ask what kind of wood you used here? I’m making a backdrop for a client and she wants the natural wood look so I’m wondering what type of wood looks best without paint or stain

[@woodshopbox]

Thank you, I'm using Birch plywood, but the look in this video is rare with birch, in most cases it's a lot more pale and flat. I would suggest you to get oak plywood or walnut 👍 that would have an amazing natural look. The problem is that the regular Constraction stores don't usually carry that type of plywood, so you would need to find a local hardwood dealer

[@alexandraguillen8163]

@@woodshopbox thank you very much! I’ll look into where I can find some, appreciate you

How did you get your backdrops to stand up without it being wobbly to the touch. Especially these 6 and 7ft walls?

[@woodshopbox]

Just make sure the back support is sturdy enough, and it's going to stand just fine 👍

[@jazlamuzaffer]

Hello! What is the thickness of the board you are using in the video?

[@woodshopbox]

I use 1/2 inch plywood most of the time
