Hi,
I need to borrow a background (preferably white) that's big enough for small groups.
I was hoping to buy one but the supplier has now informed me that the stock has turned up broken and now because of delivery difficulties due to me being away from Sheffield until the 16th and with the bank holiday back ups... I cant get hold of another style or type by then.

So would anybody be able to lend me one? or has anyone got one for sale at an affordable price?

Looking forward to your replies!! Amanda

I have an enormous collapsible lastolite one, but its retro 80's tie-dyed grey-brown if thats any use. I also have about 4metres+ of white fleece fabric, if you have a support system.

Sadly no support system, but do you think there would be anyway of supporting the white fabric with the lastolite system? As I know that effect of background is deff not what they want - they requested a plain background 'preferably white' so if you could let me know if you have any ideas that would be wonderful!

I've tried several times, the fleece is too heavy for the collapsible frame. I've also tried with unsuccessfully with a lighter fabric.

What some people do apparently is buy a roll of lino and paint the backside of it and use that as seamless background - the weight of it keeps it pretty flat and free of creases etc. And if you use the right paint you can wipe clean and of course repaint when needs be to keep clean and fresh :)
