Backdrop Support

Backdrop Support

cardboard standing up?

how do you make cardboard stand up?
i have a 8x8 ft cardboard backdrop and i was wondering how you would make it stand up? like a support in the back?

what kind of a support like a triangle support or something else?

A bunch of solutions to this:
-Make a stage jack. A brace that makes a 90 with a piece on an angle between them holding them at the right angle. Weight it down with sandbags (or anything heavy enough) or screw it down.
-Tape it to another flat surface like a wall.
-Hang it from something.
-If it's just temporary and the cardboard is pretty stiff you could just duct tape it to another sturdy object, like a couple of high desks or chairs or something.
Good Luck!
