Using this backdrop cover is easy. First, make sure your 8ft hexagon wedding arch is set up. Then, simply pull the cover over the arch. Since it's a pullover design, it will fit snugly. You can decide whether to let the open bottom brush against the bottom pole or tuck it in for a different look. When placing the cover on the stand, be aware that the fabric might catch on the screws. If this happens, you can add tape or screw covers to make the process smoother. As for maintenance, you can gently hand - wash the spandex cover in cold water. Let it air dry. Avoid using harsh detergents as they can damage the fabric. This cover is great for weddings, baby showers, birthday parties, banquets, and ceremonies, so keep it in good condition for your next special event.
