Help Help Hanging Seamless Paper Expan Kit & Muslin Track - 10-15-2011, 09:17 AM


I would like to hang a Seamless Paper Expan Kit (3 roll) & 16' Muslin Track Kit on the same wall/ceiling. These will be used with 9' paper rolls and 10"x20" Muslins. I have one shot to get it right - my husband is hanging it for me. How would you recommend hanging these and how far from the wall do they need to be? The room is 18' wide x 20' long. Ceiling is 9' tall.

Managed to get them hung today. Mounted the expan unit from the ceiling to get the best use of it. There is a 3" gap from the end of the bracket to the wall to allow for the bolt of seamless paper to fit. If I had mounted it to the wall, the lowest paper roll would be hang too far down with the 9' ceiling.

The track system was then mounted in front of it along a rafter. It ended up being 18" out from the wall which should give enough room for movement of the muslin without the paper roll obtructing.

Now I just have to figure out how to get stiff muslins to relax and also how to best hang/store them. Makes for quite a mess wadded at the floor. I have several muslins that are 10"x20"
