Step-by-Step Setup
Connect two 24x36 canvases with clamps and nails to form a large, seamless backdrop.
Cover the canvases with light grey Sherpa fabric to create a smooth, professional-looking surface for your products.

Position the canvas at a 60-degree angle, with the lower side facing you. This helps keep products stable and ensures a clean backdrop.
