- Hey Guys! Last week, I helped decorate at a networking event in DC. Even though I loved the decorations, I noticed that a lot of sunlight was shining through my backdrop. In this video, I added a cover to the back of it and discussed how I add weights to the stand for my events.

Wonderful idea! I’m using my boxwood for an event soon and even though I’m putting it against a wall I will still add this. Thanks for always sharing.
Great! Let me know it works out!
@@YesEventDecor I will.
Hey Loniel, I didn’t have to use the backdrop cover after all. I was able to have the backdrop against the garage and added more greenery. But thanks as always for sharing your wisdom and knowledge.
@@whbattle04 That’s great!
I made custom curtain panels that are green. Then zip tie together. I just love all your videos and purchased one of your tutorials.
Great job! Thanks!
Great Tips on the Boxwood backdrop! I think I will invest in this as an option. Thanks for teaching and sharing❣
I love my boxwood backdrop. It’s one of my most requested backdrops.
I just did an event and I actually put my photo cloth green back drop in the back for the same reason of light passing through. I will definitely purchase the suggested one you have in your link. I pray you and your are always blessed happy and safe. You are simply amazing for always taking the time to share. God bless you my dear and thank you so very much. 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

When I looked at your video with Beyond the Blackout, I said to myself "Lonielle is going to find a way to not let the light show through her Boxwood Backdrop" LOL. So said so done lol. Thank you for sharing 💕💗 and keep up the good work.
Hahaha! 🤣 You know me! I had to do something about all of that light showing through.
Love this. So easy and u can make and have for ever. Thank you 🎉
Very true! Just connect the panels, add the cover, and you’re good to go! 👏🏽
Thank you for sharing! I’m definitely getting the weights.
Yeah, those weights are a life saver.
I'm learning so much from you. Thank you so much🙏😍
Thank you for watching my videos!
I like the cover. I usually hang a black curtain behind my hedge wall. I don’t like the sun shining through it. It doesn’t photograph well.
Yeah that true. It looks better in photos when the light isn’t shining through it.
Thanks for sharing I'm going to order the weights thanks again
Thank you for watching! Those weights are a life saver.

Thank you for watching!
I hang my boxwood backdrop the same way but I have a problem with the poles showing. I noticed your poles don't show. Not sure what I'm doing wrong. Could you please give some tips? Thanks
I love watching your videos. They are so informative and fun. Do you keep your backdrop fully assembled on the crossbar and ready to go.
I sure do! Saves so much time when I’m setting up.
@@YesEventDecor Thats a great idea 💡 when I decorate a event I always look at your previous videos for some time saving tips. Work smart not hard. Thanks a million for sharing
I have to remind myself of that too…work smart. You only have but so much time to set up events.
appreciate you . thanks for sharing :)
Thank you for watching!
Thanks for sharing, where can I get this backdrop stand
All of the materials are in the description of the video. Thanks!
Hi Loniel, me and my business partner used our green wall with balloons around it for a pool party recently, but the balloons popped because it was in the sun.
In your experience what balloons work well for outdoors? The balloon we used were Gemar.
You know what?! I feel like I have to do a video on this. I’ve never had balloons pop in the sun. Maybe it’s not hot enough here. 🤔 I use Qualatex, Tuftex, and Sempertex.
@@YesEventDecor yesss please do a video. I live in Houston so it’s gets pretty hot at least 100°. I’ll have to test the other brands you mentioned to see if they hold up
Hi Kayla this recently happened to us this summer, Worst feeling ever.. It was the same brand Gemar. We did two setups that day in the sun, one with qualatex and the other was Gemar. We always use qualatex, betalatex, tuftex but we tried Gemar because its a newer brand here in Texas as well. It was hot and over 94 degrees that day. The qualatex lost one balloon which was touching the grass and was a risk. The Gemar balloon garland lost almost the whole garland. Luckily we had enough time to go back and re do the whole garland right before the event. I learned that day, Gemar has nice colors and good shape but are not made for Texas heat. We stick to Tuftex or qualatex if its outdoors now. I would and have used Gemar indoors, they have great vibrant colors and nice round shape. But outdoors in Texas heat it is a big risk. Just was looking at the comments and saw yours pop out because that is definitely a tough situation and wanted to let you know my experience with Gemar. I think there good balloons but not for Texas heat. Love your channel Event Decor and more.
@@MakerDecor wow thanks for the info! Yess every time I walked pass the back drop I would hear a pop and just want to die 😭😭. Luckily it was a pool party for my family and we got pictures before lol. But it was definitely a lesson learned. I’ll definitely be using qualatex next time.
Thank you for this feedback! If we have another hot day, I’m going to put a balloon garland outside and see how it holds up.
It looks great! Where can I purchase weights similar to this?
Thank you. All of the links are in the description of this video.
Love this!! Thank you for your guidance! How much would you charge for that backdrop? I have a client that requested it and I’ve never done it.
How do you do to prevent of falling down for outdoors? Thanks
You can use weights. I’m pretty sure I talked about that in this video.
Where to get this weight from please?
The link is in the description. Thanks!
Hi, thank you for your help.
I need to get the weight and tubes, where did you get them?
Hi there! The links for the weights are in the description of this video. By tubes, do you mean the stand for the boxwood (green grass) backdrop?
@@YesEventDecor yes, that's what i mean, thank you.
Hi! I have a 8x10 wall and I have the weights but it still blew over on me the other day. How can you make it more sturdy?!
How much weight did you use? I use at least 70 pounds on each side of my stand for outdoor events.
Thank you for the much needed tips, my grand daughter bought me the box wood back drop, 12 pcs came in the back, is that enough for a efficient backdrop? also do you take the pcs apart and put it together everytime you need to use it are can it be rolled up? thank you
Depends on how tall and wide you want the backdrop to be.
The backdrop in this video is 4 panels wide and 5 panels tall. It’s a little of 6.5ft wide and 8ft tall. You’ll need 20 panels (2 boxes) for this size.
I also want to find out those writings are stickers or are things that u can clip them on?
Hi there! The words that put on my backdrop are wooden. I’ll put the link in the description. I attach them with fishing line. Thanks!
what is the size of the grass wall?
This grass wall is about 6.5ft wide and 8ft tall.
What do you use to get the grass wall rolled up for transporting ?
I don’t use anything. I just roll it up.
Please am new in the business, i just had my first client who wants only thins background for photos please how can i get the background as u did
Here’s a video on how to put this backdrop together - ua-cam.com/video/22hTpUMoM5g/v-deo.html and ua-cam.com/video/UnTitOM_pBs/v-deo.html.
What are the measurements of your box wood
It’s 8ft tall and about 6.5ft wide
Where did you find your weights?
The link is in the description of this video. Thanks!
Is there a link for the backdrop
Yes, there is. It’s in the description of this video. Thanks!
Thank you for sharing. I enjoy your channel and content. I am looking into investing in this backdrop and wanted to know if you don’t mind sharing. Do I need to purchase 2-12 packs in order to get the 8x8
Thank you for watching my channel! You’ll actually need 3 boxes (25 panels) to make an 8x8.
HOw many boxes of the greenery did you use for the stand?
I used two boxes to create this backdrop.
How many do you need for 8x8? also do you recommend rolling it up for later use? I reckon having to put it together for every event is a pain
You would need 25 panels for an 8x8 boxwood backdrop. Yes, I keep mine rolled up in my storage unit between events. ☺️
What size is your boxwood backdrop?
It’s a little over 6.5ft wide, 8ft tall
How many boxes of the boxwood did you order to make this size??? And what size is it
I used 2 boxes of the boxwood panels to make this. It’s 8ft tall and about 6.5 wide.
What are dimensions of the BD you used??
How many panels are needed to create a
8x8 & 8x10??🌺
By BD do you mean backdrop? Each panel is 20”x20”. You’ll need 25 panels to make an 8’x8’.
@@YesEventDecor
Thank you so much 🌺
BD = back drop! This is on my wishlist to buy soon. I’m going to use some stretch fabric in green for the back.
Let me know how that works out for you!
Hi Dear
I love watching yr videos thank you so much for teaching us i really appreciate it.
I want to find out how big is your boxwood in terms of the height and with of steel stand?. And also the pieces of boxwood u used?
Please assist ama in South Africa 🇿🇦. I want to make my own stand.
Hi there!! Thank you for supporting my channel! My boxwood backdrop is a little over 6.5ft wide and 8ft tall. I used 20 panels to make the backdrop in this video.
Thank you so much dearest
Hello !!! Love Your Videos - Learned a Lot ... Have a Question - With Your Pipe & Drape set up - The Cross Bar - its Says its supports 15 lbs max ..Evenly distributed .
I have a 8 x 10 boxwood wall - And because of the weight .. I don't see this cross bar handling the Weight - as I know it is over 15 lbs... ?? How is that cross bar that you use handling the weight ?
Hi there! Thank you for watching my UA-cam channel! I haven’t had any issues when it comes to these boxwood backdrops and the crossbars. I would recommend putting weights on the backdrop stand to keep it from tipping over. The links for all of the materials I use is in the description of this video. Thanks!
@@YesEventDecor Yes a saw this ... But my fear is the Cross bar itself will bow/sag in the center due to the stress of the weight ... .. but thanks for getting back with me .... and again ... I LOVE You... You are so Sweet in all your videos... and your Son is a Trooper ( helping out))!!!
Yeah I never had a problem with that. I even set up a 10’ x 10’ boxwood backdrop using these stands and didn’t have any issues.
I’m so grateful for my son. He’s my loader and unloader. ☺️
Did you get your back drop stand with the "duratop"? What do you reccomend with or without for the boxwood backdrop.
I’m sorry. I’m not familiar with a duratop. Can you put a link in the comments so I can see what you’re referring to?
Good morning ma, so sorry to bother you ma'am, how did you put you panels boxes together to form that... ma?
Hi there! I have a video on putting your backdrop together. Here’s the link - ua-cam.com/video/UnTitOM_pBs/v-deo.html.
Here’s a video where I explain how to hang the backdrop - ua-cam.com/video/22hTpUMoM5g/v-deo.html
How many panels did you use for this backdrop
20 panels (you’ll need 2 boxes).
what size is the shade cover you got please?
I believe it was 6ft wide and 8ft tall.
Thank you! Now how do you store it so it doesn’t get damaged? 😅
I just roll it up and put it in my storage unit.
One more silly question.. do you cut the zip ties off the pole each time or leave them loose enough to slip on and off?
I’m sorry! I didn’t see this question. I actually keep the top pole of the backdrop stand attached to my boxwood backdrop. So I just roll it up and keep it in my storage unit like that.
But I can do that because I have multiple backdrop stands in my inventory. When I only had one stand, I would cut the zip ties off after each event.
How much would you charge your client for this backdrop?
My boxwood backdrop starts at $250 plus delivery.
@@YesEventDecor Thank you! I’ve been decorating about 5 years now and sometimes I get confused on pricing with some of these new trends going on. I truly appreciate the quick response as I’m putting together a quote for my now. Your videos are informational and very useful!
Sure! Glad I can help! ☺️
How many panel of boxwood did you use?
This one has 20 panels. It’s 5 panels high and 4 panels wide.
