What techs run into most, and what's usually behind it. The step-by-step fix for your exact unit is in Ask Roadie.
- Step-by-step fixGet the fix →
How many people / how much effort to build
Likely cause: Manufacturer explicitly warns the fold requires added time and typically 2 people to tension — sets realistic load-in labor expectations.
- Step-by-step fixGet the fix →
Material spec & fire rating
Likely cause: Fire marshals ask for the flame rating on scenic; UL94V-2 / self-extinguishing is the manufacturer answer.
- Step-by-step fixGet the fix →
Panels bow or deform on a large wall
Likely cause: The manufacturer ships banding straps specifically to stop deformation on large assemblies; without them a long run of folded panels sags out of plane.

Storage & transport of folded panels
Likely cause: Coroplast fold lines take a set if stored deformed; returning panels to flat preserves clean folds for the next build.

What holds the folded triangle shape
Likely cause: Reconciles the manufacturer spec (zip ties + nylon bolt) with CEP's seeded install-sheet hardware so a tech in the field knows both are valid depending on kit vintage.
