Build a Custom Photography Backdrop Frame with FORMUFIT PVC
Capturing the perfect photo often comes down to one key element—the backdrop. Traditional metal photography frames can be expensive, heavy, and difficult to adjust. A smarter, lightweight alternative is to build your own PVC Photography Backdrop Frame using 1-1/4 in. PVC pipe and Furniture Grade PVC fittings.
This PVC frame provides a stable, customizable base for hanging green screens, muslin sheets, canvas, or other backdrops—all while being lightweight, portable, and easy to assemble. Whether you're a professional photographer, content creator, or hobbyist, this frame is a must-have addition to your photo setup.
Customizable and Durable Design
Originally designed as a green screen stand, the PVC Photography Backdrop Frame can easily be modified in height or width by adjusting pipe lengths. With an added A-frame bottom support, the structure provides excellent balance and stability—even when using heavy materials or larger backgrounds.
Best of all, the PVC construction is both UV-resistant and impact-proof, ensuring long-lasting use in studios or on-location shoots. Choose from white, black, or colorful PVC to match your creative setup.
