Hi, Guys!

Now that I know where to get the backdrop material, where in Manila may I be able to find the aluminum rods to hang them on to?

Ideally I'd get Manfrotto in Island MultiIndustrial. But it's so horrendously expensive.

Your help is greatly appreciated.

Sundee, if you are thinking of the rounded aluminum rod, it's quite pliant and will definitely droop at the middle when you hang a relatively large fabric on to it. there's a sturdier chrome coated, rounded rod (not pure aluminum really); also sold by the aluminum and aluminum frame hardware shops in the metro. usually these shops also sell glass panes at the same time. there are plenty of these shops around (except in plush villages of course). if you can't find one, let me know.

oh, that's right, Jay.

I meant anodized aluminum, the kind that Manfrotto uses, available in silver or black.

Or maybe if it's cheaper and sturdier, I should look for the silver chrome and/or black, zinc-plated steel rods.

aperture trading and island multi has them.

Found a cheaper place. Those big, Home Depot centers in the Curtain Accessories section. They sell the stainless steel rods in a variety of lengths and styles. More expensive than aluminum, but sturdy and won't droop in the middle.

Just to give you guys an idea:

Aluminum rod, 3/4" Diameter, 21 ft. - P200 to P300

Stainless Steel Rods, 3/4" Diameter, 8 ft. - P765 to P850
