We are here to help in your decision making on which hardware option is ideal for you, the Collapsible or Telescopic? Before we discuss each units Pro’s and Con’s, there are a few things to consider. Budget, Frequency of Usage and Portability are just a few considerations.


All Eventwall Step and Repeat systems come in 2 parts, the hardware, and the banner.

The banner is either a Non-Glare Matte Vinyl (Econo) or Stretch Fabric (Premium). The backdrop hardware is available in either the Telescopic (Econo) or Collapsible (Premium) model. Each banner or hardware option can be paired with each other.
