How do I rent a backdrop?
First start by clicking on the Backdrops tab. These are sub-categorized by Small, Regular and Wedding & Events depending on your sizing and usage needs. Once within a section, select a backdrop that interests you. The backdrop’s information and description will appear. Please select your information using the pull down tabs and click the ‘Inquire’ button. When you are done making your selects, look for the heart ‘Wishlist’ symbol on the top right of the navigation bar. This acts the same way as a checkout. Click ‘Send Inquiry’ and I will get back to you once I receive your information.

Can I put a hold on a backdrop?
Yes, you are able to hold backdrops for your projects. This safely allows you to show clients multiple options without compromising availability. If someone else inquires about a backdrop you have held, you will be contacted to ask if the backdrop can be released.

How can I find the size of my backdrop rental?
All sizes are listed under each backdrop’s description. The backdrops will always be rolled on their shortest size. For example, a 10 ft x 20 ft backdrop will be rolled on it’s 10ft side.

How are the backdrops rolled?
Almost all of the backdrops are rolled on tubes. Due to the nature of painted backdrops, the drops can easily be damaged if they are folded, creased, or not rolled tightly. Please return the backdrop in the same way as it was sent out.

What do I do if my rental gets damaged or lost?
Please mention the backdrop’s damage upon return. Depending on the extent of the damage, fees may be applied if it is irreversible.

Can clean my backdrop rental?
Please do not try to clean your backdrop. It is very easy for paint to smudge or be removed without the proper tools/ technique. If you have any questions about marks or potential damage during your shoot, feel free to reach out.

Do you provide rental equipment to hang my backdrops?
All backdrops rentals are sent out with mini clamps that can assist if there are waves or folds. Otherwise, clients are responsible for their own rental of equipment.

Where can I rent equipment to hang my backdrops?
There are many places in Toronto where you can rent equipment. Feel free to check out

What payment methods do you take?
Payments can be made in e-transfer, cheque, cash, pay-pal or credit card. E-transfer, cheque or cash Whites are most preferred. Pay-pal and credit card is typically used for rentals with international clients.

Do I get a refund if I do not use my rental on my shoot?
If the backdrop is sent out there is unfortunately no refund as it can not be rented out to others. Please allow minimum 24 hrs notice for cancellations.

Can I extend my rental?
Yes, as long as no one else has booked it for the same dates/ time.

How do I hang my backdrop?
Unroll the backdrop onto a clean swept floor, and look for labels on the underside of the drop labeled ‘top’ or ‘bottom.’

Set up uprights to desired width. Using A-Clamps or Pony Clamps, clamp the backdrop to the horizontal cross bar, and raise the crossbar to the desired height. Once height is achieved, adjust the clamps to smooth out any wrinkles. All rentals include six small backdrop clips that attach from the vertical uprights to the backdrop to help remove unevenness or wrinkles if necessary. Look for pamphlet within the clip pouch for further instructions.

To take down the backdrop, use three people to carefully lower it on to the floor (two people lowering, while the third person lifts the bottom of the drop to avoid wrinkles).

Please only use a two inch margin around the entire edge of the backdrop for securing, and do not clamp, staple, tape or adhere to any other area of the backdrop. Folding or wrapping a backdrop using more than a 2 in. margin will create permanent creases and make the backdrop unusable in the future.

What are the instructions for returning the backdrop?

After laying the backdrop image side up on a clean floor, gently sweep or blow any dirt off of the canvas before rolling it. Using two to three people, tape the edge of the drop to the tube (using only painters or gaffer tape), and begin rolling the canvas. As you roll, make sure no wrinkles occur and no dirt from the floor gets rolled up with it. Once rolled, use additional tape to secure. Never tape onto the image/ painted side of the backdrop.

How do I best care for the backdrop during the rental?

Backdrops are fragile and are subject to scratches, tears and unintentional wrinkles. Please avoid sharp objects or abrasive materials on the backdrops, and be cautious with high heels if the model is standing on the sweep. When using A clamps (or pony clamps), please insure that the rubber sleeves aren’t missing. Damage fees will incur for obvious marks.

Please do not use any types of glitter on the backdrop, including body makeup that can fall off

How are the backdrops transported?
Renters are responsible for transportation of backdrops.

Small backdrops fit in most cars and can be easily transported.

Most regular backdrops are on 9ft (or shorter) plastic pipes and can fit in most hatchbacks, station wagons, mini vans, and SUVs.

Is it possible to have transport arranged?
Transport can be arranged for an extra charge if needed. Transport costs are generally between $25-100 each way in downtown Toronto. Please contact with specific details for quotes.

Alternatively some jobs prefer ordering an Uber courier or arranging for their own courier to help with pickup/ drop off. If this is something you would like to do, please touch base beforehand.

Do you ship backdrops?
Backdrops are typically not shipped, however please connect for specific project needs.
