So i finally completed my coroplast woven wall. I wanted to share a few tips of things that i encountered while putting it together. 1. When stapling my coroplast i probably should have aligned the coroplast along the edge of the wood and then stapled. This will allow the seams of the coroplast to fall right between the center of the seams where the frames meet. 2. If you want to make sure that all of your panels bow out at equal distance, then keep all panels bowed out as you are stapling them. Align the current panel with the precious panels. 3. If you have to put legs on your frames, then i recommend making your legs in the shape of an upside down U shape. Use screws to attach the legs. 4. I used 3.5" Screws, bolts and washers to join my frames to one another. This makes for easy dissemble. 5. When selecting wood for this project, PLEASE make sure your 2x4 wood is as straight as possible. If not, your top or bottom base will not align properly and will be hard to tightly screw together. 6. It took me a while to figure out why Brandon screwed his top 2x4 in vertically, unlike his bottom 2x4. The bottom 2x4 is screwed in flat or horizontal because it sits on the floor. The top of the frame is afixed vertically or the 4" part facing you. The logic is: if you are hanging the frame from the top, you have more depth to place your Eye-hooks; also the frame is stronger when the screws are aligned vertically as oppose to horizontally. I hope this makes sense to you. 8. Lastly, we used 3" trim strips to cover our staples. It gave the wall a cleaner look, plus if you ever decide to disassemble your wall and reassemble you can use the same coroplast strips. Dont worry about all the holes from the stapler. Just cover the holes with your trim. I used my nail gun to attach trim because the holes were virtually invisible. Hope this helps someone. I spent about $600
This will absolutely work with up lighting. We didn't up light in our application for 2 reasons. 1) Our ceiling is white and we would have a tone of shadows to deal with. 2) The service that we use these elements in has a 10 minute flip from a more traditional service. It is just easier for us to attach everything we can to a truss that is flown overhead, then drop it in for the service. If you are not having to flip a stage and the shadows are not a bother for you, up lighting is a great solution. Thanks for your question. Keep up the good work!
Brandon...awesome video and design. I noticed that you were stapling your coroplast stripes onto your frame while it was flat on the floor. How did you connect all of your frames together? Did you just bolt them together for easy dissemble? Secondly, after you stapled all of your coroplast strips to the frame did you just have a group of people help you to lift it all at the same time to a standing position? I wanted to make sure I do not break anything when I lift it. Thanks for all the videos you post. You are a God-sent!
That is a cool looking backdrop and seemingly simple to put together. Could you please elaborate more on the kind of lighting you used, how many lights, are they centrally controlled or singularly controlled. I would like to use the same concept for designing our church's backdrop. Thanks.
+Pastor Godfrey Twahirwa Thanks for your comments. The basic lighting is 4 Strip led lights in the middle of each of the panels and they are front lit with 4 par 64 led fixtures. These are centrally controlled from the room's lighting computer and were programmed with different looks for different songs. Hope this helps!
To me it doesn't matter how the stage looks ..if its plain or its decorated but if the worship and message that is brought forth is not pure , then it doesn't matter how good or bad it looks the point is that it should be done in spirit and in truth..the background doesn't set the mood the people in front of it set the mood for Gods presence to flow.
@@psBrandonCook Looking to use this design for a conference where the stage is 55' wide but has a screen in the middle 10x17. Plus there is probably roughly 12' on either side of the scree . I was thinking of putting one under the screen and then one on either side of the the screen 7x8 1/5 hanging from the trust but the one under the screen would be a stand alone piece appxr 7 1/2 x10 or would having 2 under the screen be better
Hi Brandon This is wonderful !! Thanks for sharing . We are planning to do this stage design in our new church venue. Can we also buy the stage truss , led lights from Ali Express? If so , which stores can you recommend ? Thanks
Hello Mr Brandon cook 1st I would like to thank what you show me today and I have a question that can helps me to do this in our church one thing I don't anderstand is where exactly I should put the light to get that kind of light hopefully I heard that from you soon may God bless you.
There is a bar light between the "bands" of woven coroplast shining down and a par 64 LED shining on the front of the panel from our lighting bay above the platform.
Hi Brandon. I was wondering if I make this design as a stand alone piece will 7ft wide x 10 ft tall work. We would like to have multiple sizes set around the stage. is there a limit to the height? Thank you
Echoes Calvary I wish I could. This video is a few years ago and we basically drew it out on a whiteboard. I think Mose of the dimensions are in the video though.
I did not notice this design changing the room acoustics. The band all ran direct into the system and drums were in a cage. The room is very large and as a percentage of the overall space, this design was relatively small. However, we did notice an acoustic difference when we used the 20x30' spandex screen.
Awesome thanks. I'm starting formulating ideas for the church I go to as we are in an old church building that is terrible for amplified sound and I wanted to check.
That's great to think of in advance. We recently started a new church that is meeting in a traditional building built in the 60's. We made some set pieces that are also part of our equipment carts. I will make a video shortly of that design because it is a good mix of the old traditional with new fixtures with a rustic look. Be on the lookout for that soon!
Thank so much for this! This seems pretty simple. I'm going to try this at my church. I've sent you a message on Facebook. Can you pls check it out? Thanks!
We just did it in our small church and let me tell you everybody loved it. Thanks for share the design God bless
Iglesia El Shaddai that's awesome!
Nice job with this Brandon. Love these videos, keep 'em coming.
Love it man! Please keep posting
Thanks... Will be trying it soon and will revert. Stay blessed
Thank you for this awesome idea. Using it at our youth event, right now! Thank you!
Jonathan Jackson yeah! We'd love to see a picture! Send it on twitter. @Ps_BrandonCook
your work is just awesome!!!

Great Tips!
These are perfect additional instructions. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks so much! We love to share what we are working on and see what others are doing as well.

Great and helpful videos!! I wish you would have posted the building process also.
We will work on taking a little more video next time! Thanks for watching!
blessed on Mr Brandon cook appreciate hopefully when I done with is I will send you the picture of it from the church. thanks agen
Thanks for sharing your information with us. I'm real interested and need your help

Bring back the traditional church with normal lights.
To me it doesn't matter how the stage looks ..if its plain or its decorated but if the worship and message that is brought forth is not pure , then it doesn't matter how good or bad it looks the point is that it should be done in spirit and in truth..the background doesn't set the mood the people in front of it set the mood for Gods presence to flow.
Great work....please how much does it cost?
This was several years ago, I'm not sure what we spent, but my guess would be $300 or less for the set. Lighting is a separate cost all together.
will this work if we dont have tryst to hold the lights but if we place them on the floor
I love this design! I was just wondering could it be used on a smaller scale?
Certainly. But at a certain point, the coroplast will not flex, it will crease. And once it creases, you cannot fix that.
Hope that helps!

+Michael Worku There is a light between the panels and one in front of the panels.
Mr Brandon is the front light should bee in the joint other the panals? Thanks
I mean between the joint of the panals? Thank you

I wouldn’t imagine as long as it can be safely secured to stand and not fall over
@@psBrandonCook Thank you Brandon for getting back to me! Have a Blessed Day

Echoes Calvary I wish I could. This video is a few years ago and we basically drew it out on a whiteboard. I think Mose of the dimensions are in the video though.
How does this affect the acoustics of the room? Or is stage noise no problem cause of in ears and di?

Creative Church Hacks where can I buy this huge spandex screen- thanks!
can I nail the coroplast
What kind of lights did you use
Kwaku Boateng the internal lighting were Chauvet Tour 144 Battens and the front lights were Chauvet Colorado fixtures.
You have not indicated the thickness of the coroplast. The cutter will cut 4-6 mm. What do you recommend?
+Dan Malda I do not remember. I think the thinner the better though in this instance. Its standard...whatever you can order from Home Depot
Thank you so much for getting back to me. I might try to send you a post when we finish our design.
I would LOVE to see it!
Keep up the good work!!
Can we find someone we can pay to design and fix everything for us?
Stephen Akinmosa I'm sure there are people that can help with that. But would not know where to tell you to start looking
En español Esque no le entiendo algien me ayuda
What colour coroplast did you use?
we used standard white. We would love to see what your finished product looks like!
Hindi please please
Cameras too close
