Why do the legs swivel?

Updated: Aug 21

 

Positioning legs for backdrop towers
Tower with swiveled legs

As a stage designer, I'm always thinking about how products work today but also for tomorrow. What else can this product do? Most of us have limited budgets, so the products I'm interested in must be adaptable to all sorts of ideas.


Most of our customers use our backdrop panels lined up next to each other, creating either a large design or a repeating pattern of some sort. However, I had always wanted the option to create a backdrop pattern on a curve as some stages require more than just a flat wall. Using a round pipe versus a square insert post allows for this option.


Another option that this allows for is to create a box-type shape or a triangle-shaped tower in the middle of a foyer/lobby or the middle of a stage. With the legs able to swivel, you can create right angles as the two legs that would swivel at a 45-degree angle or any other angle you might need to create. If the legs were not allowed to move, you would have legs requiring overlap to create this visual.


So, in future days, consider using the panels in a right angle configuration or as a "V" pattern along the back of the stage instead of just flat. If you need any more ideas, please let me know.

I had not thought about the creative potential regarding the swivel legs. I like the ideas presented and look foward to giving them a try. However, we have to setup and tear down weekly. For us, the swivel legs are a headache. I would love the option for square ones!

Hi Tim, we can make leg sets with square posts if you like. This would be a custom leg set order, so it may cost a bit more than a standard leg set listed on the website, but it's totally possible to do. If you are interested in a solution like this, please call us, and we will be happy to work with you to make it happen.
