Default Re: Quickrelease backdrop???

We've had a lot of bands come through with tear away velcro drops. There is a strip of velcro sewn to a section of burlap (much like the top of a drape) with grommets and tie. Then, there is a mating piece of velcro also featuring grommets and tie. Tie the first to the pipe, tie the second to the drape, then stick together. Takes two people to do a quick drop with it, or one guy if you can deal with having someone walk across the deck.
