Background support rollers

[ki_user]

Hi, I'm looking to buy a set of background support rollers. I've found the ones I'm going to get but I have no idea where to get the tubes that the back drops go on.

Any ideas, cheaper the better, thanks in advance.

I think you dont need tubes, the rollers simply fit into the tube on the paper rolls.

But I don't want to use paper. Going to be using vinyl and cloth.

Normally the material backgrounds have a loop at the top which you feed the support through and they just hang.....

or you can use clamps....

I suppose if you want tubes try a carpet shop, the lino tubes are small diameter...

Going to be using these things http://rocwing.co.uk/epages/eshop138448.sf/en_GB/?ObjectPath=/Shops/eshop138448/Products/RW03003 so loops and clamps are no good, I'll have a look down the carpet shop could be a good steer.

Checked out carpet shops, they don't come on tubes any more, have been told I need aluminium tube for the weight, but I haven't got a clue where to get it and it sounds pricey
