The Sizes of Drops

There is no standard backdrop size. Common sizes are 22' high x 50' wide and 17' high x 40' wide, but they are available in many specialty sizes. Grosh Scenic Rentals offers a broad selection.

Linen fabric widths were 3' - 4', so in the early days the seams were sewn horizontally. With the more widely used muslin fabric, there are 2 seams sewn vertically on a 22' high drop and 1 seam sewn on a 17' high drop.
