Need to set up seamless backgrop in tight studio space, help!

Hey guys,
I’ll keep this as simple as possible. I only have 6ft (actually 5ft 10 inches to be exact) space (wall to wall) to set up a seamless paper backdrop.
I was looking into the ‘basic’ style ones like this: http://cowboystudio.co​m/product/c02/p0204-02.php - but the bottom legs branch out pretty wide and being I only have a little less that 6ft to work with, that wont work.

Anyone know of a solution for such a tight space? Also, anyone know how to get seamless cut to a custom length? I need like 5.5ft wide.

Thanks in advance!

It seems like you are making it harder than it needs to be. Just put some hooks in the ceiling and hang it. That's what I did. I bought a piece of pipe at home depot and ran that trough the tube. I then pied the ends of the pipe to the hooks.

As for cutting it, you can just unroll it from the tube, cut the tube with a hand saw. then cut the paper as you re-roll it on the tube.

Or cut the paper and tube at the same time.

There is another post here titled Robert (TMR) where the poster shows how he used floor to ceiling poles available at building suppliers along with super clamps.

or just come by my studio in northern nj

hmmm, i like the pipe idea.... i'm also thinking about just cutting paper down to size and taping onto the wall with blue painters tape so that the tape can't be seen....

yeah, perhaps this is more simple than I thought...

I did this same thing. I think you could use regular stands if you wanted to. I have just over a 6 foot space and the stands arent really a problem. At first, I too wanted to maximize the space and make the paper almost the exact width of the space I had, not realizing how much of a pain in the *** that would be. I saved myself a half inch on both sides. Cut the paper (a power miter saw makes quick and easy work of that as long as the paper is rolled tight) Then I went to put the paper up and CRAP, it is really really really hard to fit. So then I went and chopped some more off, giving me an inch on each side. I got it on the stands then with help from an assistant. However, it is still really hard to fit into the space. So what Im getting at is.... get a big roll of seamless, cut it in half and use those two in your space until you can get a bigger area.
