5-Minute Setup Guide: Getting Your Panels Ready for Any Event
Short answer: take the folded board out of its case, open the panels one by one on their 360° hinges, stand it in a straight line, zig-zag or L-shape, then pin or Velcro your content on. No tools are needed, and two people make it fastest.
Before You Start
- Inspect panels for any transport damage
- Clear your setup area (minimum 8ft × 4ft for a 6-Panel 1-Header)
- Ensure floor is level
Step-by-Step Setup
Step 1: Remove from Carrying Case (1 min)
- Unzip the padded case
- Carefully lift each folded panel section
- Set sections on a clean, flat surface
Step 2: Unfold the Panels (2 min)
- Open first panel fully, rotating hinges until locked
- Second and third panels open the same way
- All hinges have 360° rotation and lock when fully extended
Step 3: Position Your Panels (1 min)
- Arrange panels in your desired configuration
- Panels can curve, angle, or stand perfectly straight
- Bottom feet provide stability on most floor types
Step 4: Add Your Content
- Mount graphics to velvet fabric with hooks (included)
- Double-sided displays show your content front and back
- Fabric holds graphics securely without permanent damage
Pro Tips
- Keep hinges clean and slightly oiled for smooth operation
- Don't force panels — they're designed to rotate freely
- Wrap cables and connectors before storing
- Store in cool, dry location away from direct heat
Takedown
- Reverse the setup process
- Take your time folding hinges — they lock at specific angles
- Ensure all panels are fully closed before packing
- Zip the case and secure the handle
Setup time is fastest with two people, but one person can manage any size panel.
