    Hi guys

    I am looking for a bit of advice. I have several rollup stands between two different customers and they are leaning forward or backwards. is there a certain way these must be fixed to stand up straight?

    i have tried wedging cardboard between the foot and base but it is not a good look and is still not standing right.

    there is nothing worse than that happening. 😣
    i have been told it happens for a few reasons but i think the budget stands are more to blame. i cant give you much advice on it. but one time i wedged a small bit of composite between the feet and the case body and fixed with a rivet. it worked well but you could not turn the feet if you wanted to take it down.

    We always have this issue with budget stands. As mentioned above, we’ve wedged a few to sort in the past which isn’t exactly what your customer wants to hear.

    It also helped that we shortened the length of the print slightly. This seems to create more downward/forward pressure on the units, but not by much. I’m afraid you usually get what you pay for with these things.

    BTW, I don’t even offer them anymore due to the ridiculously low prices you can get them online.

    Thank you Jeff and David. šŸ˜€šŸ‘

    i understand what you mean with budget stands, but i wouldnt say these are the cheap-cheap type. but not a premium either. i do not mind buying better quality bases but because my main customers are theatres and event type companies, everything is short term and most is put in a skip after the shows. so you can imagine how busy things get around this time of year with pantos and things. i just dont need the extra hassle of complaints about leaning banner stands. 😭
