4.1 Preparing the Base Plates
1. Place the Base Plate Coupler on top of the Base Plate and
fasten the screw. Repeat this for every Base Plate that will
contain a Telescopic Upright or a Support.
It would be ideal for the Turn Button of the Base Plate Coupler to face the opposite direction of the slot in the Base Plate accept for
when at the beginning of a setup, then let the Turn Button of the Base Plate Coupler face the slot to not obstruct the curtain when
wrapping around.
It is possible to place the Base Plate Coupler in three different positions on the Base Plate, depending on your setup.
Position 1
Position 1 is the central and standard position for Telescopic Upright placement, offering the best stability in all
directions. Whether you’re building a structure such as a wall or a corner, or you’re installing a Support, this
position provides the most reliable and sturdy base to ensure the best performance for any setup.
Position 2
Position 2 is the front position used when building a setup close to a wall. It’s also a suitable option if you prefer
to hide the Base Plates behind the curtain. However, it’s essential to note that in this position, the Telescopic
Uprights are stable in three directions. To ensure stability it is recommended to add a support, create a corner or
secure it towards the ceiling.

6/13
Position 3.1
Position 3.1 is one of the two corner positions used when building a setup directly close to a wall and in the
corner of a room. It’s also an option if you prefer to hide the Base Plate behind the curtain. However, it’s
important to note that in this position, the Telescopic Uprights are stable in only two directions. To ensure
stability it is recommended to add a support, create a corner or secure it towards the ceiling.
Position 3.2
Position 3.2 is one of the two corner positions used when building a setup directly close to a wall and in the
corner of a room. It’s also an option if you prefer to hide the Base Plate behind the curtain. However, it’s
important to note that in this position, the Telescopic Uprights are stable in only two directions. To ensure
stability it is recommended to add a support, create a corner or secure it towards the ceiling.

4.2 Placing the Uprights
1. Loosen the Turn Button of the Base Plate Coupler until it fits a
Telescopic Upright.
2. Place the Telescopic Upright inside the Base Plate Coupler.
Fasten the Turn Button and repeat this for all Telescopic Uprights.
It would be ideal for the Turn Button of the
Telescopic Upright to face the same direction
as the Turn Button on the Base Plate Coupler to
not obstruct the cur tain.
3. Place all assembled Telescopic Uprights at the proper distance
from one another depending on your setup and make sure they
are all set on the minimum height.

4.4 Placing the Supports
If Supports are needed will be determined by the use of your setup. They are mostly used on setups that are higher than 3 meters
but could be needed for certain setups and placement conditions.
The two outer Uprights of a setup are not suitable to place supports on as they would obstruct the curtain when wrapping around
the Upright.
1. Place a Base Plate with a Base Plate Coupler behind a
previously assembled Upright that needs support and loosen
the Turn Button of the Base Plate Coupler
2. Place the Support Connector in the Base Plate Coupler and
fasten the Turn Button of the Base Plate Coupler.
3. Open both clamps and place them against the Telescopic
Upright. Fasten the wingnut until it is secured, but still movable.
4. Place both clamps at the desired place on the Telescopic
Upright to suit your setup and fasten the wingnuts completely.

4.5 Hanging the Drapes
1. Start at the left/right side of your EasyDrape setup and hang
your drape 30 cm from the end against the hook and loop strip
of the Horizontal.
2. Place the excess fabric on the back of that Horizontal to have a
nice finish.
3. When a drape ends, place the next drape on top of the first
one with the hook and loop strip.
4. At the end of your setup, place the excess fabric on the back
of that Horizontal to have a nice finish.
5. Loosen the Turn Button of the Telescopic Upright and push it
partially upwards. Fasten the Turn Button to keep it in place
while you do this for the other Telescopic Uprights.
6. Repeat this systematically for each Telescopic Upright until
you have reached the desired height.

When loosening the Turn Button of the
Telescopic Uprights, it has no support to be
held up. Be sure to hold the Telescopic Upright
until the Turn Button is fastened to prevent
harm or damage from them falling.
