Backdrop Spreader Bar


Overview
An adjustable spreader bar for hanging vinyl, paper or fabric backdrops between two light stands or C-stands. Allows the backdrop to hang flat and wrinkle-free for clean photography and video backgrounds.
You will also need: two compatible stands (light stands or C-stands) to support the bar at each end, and shot bags if used outdoors. The backdrop itself is hired separately — see the grey vinyl backdrop, white vinyl backdrop or OPS Pipe & Drape system.
Common uses:
- Hanging vinyl backdrops for portrait and headshot sessions
- Clean video interview backgrounds
- Product photography background support
- Portable studio setups on location

What it costs to hire the Backdrop Spreader Bar
Adjustable backdrop spreader bar for hanging vinyl, paper or fabric photo and video backdrops cleanly between stands. The Backdrop Spreader Bar hires at $15 per day including GST. Multi-day rates are applied automatically rather than negotiated: 1 day is $15, two days is $27 against $30 for two separate single days, 2 days is $27, and a week is $79. You do not need a code or a phone call to get that; the rate drops as soon as you set your dates.
Multiples can go out on the same booking where the dates allow, so tell us how many you need and we will confirm against the calendar rather than guess.
What comes with the Backdrop Spreader Bar
Every Backdrop Spreader Bar hire includes 1x Adjustable backdrop spreader bar. That is what goes out with the hire. Everything is checked and tested between hires.
Staging and truss carry people and equipment, so the deciding factors are load rating, height and how quickly a crew can build and strike it. If something on this page is not quite the right fit, say what you are actually trying to do and we will tell you honestly whether this is the item for it, or whether something else in the stage & truss range does the job better.
Pickup, delivery and setup
You can collect the Backdrop Spreader Bar from us on the Gold Coast, or we can deliver it to your venue, site or office. Pickup costs nothing extra and suits anyone already passing through; delivery is quoted on distance and access, and tends to be the better option once a booking runs to more than a couple of items. We deliver throughout the Gold Coast, Brisbane, Tweed Heads, Byron Bay and the Sunshine Coast.
Common questions
How much does it cost to hire the Backdrop Spreader Bar?
$15 per day including GST. Longer hires cost less per day — 3 days is $36 and a week is $79 — and the rate drops automatically when you choose your dates, so there is nothing to ask for.
Can I pick up the Backdrop Spreader Bar on the Gold Coast?
Yes. You can collect it from us on the Gold Coast at no extra cost, or we can deliver it to your venue or site. We cover the Gold Coast, Brisbane, Tweed Heads, Byron Bay and the Sunshine Coast, with delivery quoted on distance and access.
How long can I hire the Backdrop Spreader Bar for?
As long as you need — a single day, a weekend, a week or a full production run. Hire days are 24-hour periods, so a one-day hire is due back the same time the following day rather than by close of business. The per-day rate falls with the length of the booking, down to 25% off from four days on.
