INSTRUCTIONS
SYSTEM 3 EZ
Congratulations on your decision
to use the world’s most advanced
and user-friendly cyclorama
system. We have taken a great
deal of care to create and ship
your cyc, so please take a minute
to visually inspect the crate before
you sign the receipt to accept the
shipment. Are there any signs of
damage, including puncture holes
in the crate, or shattered or
stressed wood?
If there is visible damage, insist
that the damage be noted on your
bill of lading and that either the
delivery person or a representative
from the delivery company be
present when you open the crate.
All Pro Cyc crates are custom
made for each order. Pro Cyc will
not honor claims for damage if the
bill of lading has been signed
without noting and alerting the
carrier of damage to the crate. The
only exception is if the damage is
internal. In that case, keep the
crate so it can be inspected.
Review your Pro Cyc shipment to
make sure all items listed on your
quote match up to the items
shipped. If there is a discrepancy,
please call us right away to get the
problem resolved.
Let’s Assemble Your Cyc:
1. Tools
You will need the following tools &
supplies for assembly of the cyc:
Circular saw
Stud finder
Sockets and drivers;
7/16”
Clamps or vise grips
Chalk line
24” long level
Carpenter’s square
1/8” drill bit and drill motor
Roto-hammer with
5/32”
masonry drill bits (only if
attaching cyc to concrete
wall or floor)
Counter sink
Canned air
Dry mortar mix (One 80-
pound bag for every 12
linear feet of cyc floor
length)
Framing hammer
Screwdriver (Phillips &
flat)
Palm sander w/60-grit
sandpaper
Clean shop towels or
cloths
4” minimum width
horizontal
furring strips or
plywood
– enough to
match up to total length of
floor cove cyc-to-wall
contact area
Vertical furring strips or
plywood - same width as
the distance on center
between studs in your
wall. The height of these
strips needs to be 39 1/2
inches less than the
overall height of your
finished cyc. You should
have two furring strips or
pieces of plywood this
size for every corner in
your cyc. (L-shaped cycs
have one corner; U-
shaped cycs have two
corners.)
All furring strips or
plywood should be the
same thickness as the
sheetrock in your wall
Sheetrock knife
Drywall tools
Pro Cyc’s Grey Bonding
Primer
Paint
Paint supplies
ABS plastic glue or
cement (Available in
plumbing supply stores.
This adhesive is only
required if you need to
trim your cyc to fit your
studio.)
2. Sanding the Modules
Sand the entire surface of each
cyc module with 60-grit
sandpaper. This will provide for
better paint adhesion.
Also sand the outside edges and
the side flanges with 60-grit sand
paper. This will provide for better
joint compound adhesion and help
create a non-slip surface when
bolting the modules together.
Sanding before assembly will help
make sure outside edges coming
in contact with the joint compound
are not missed.
After sanding, clean each module
with a damp cloth. Dust from the
sanding process can interfere with
paint and joint compound
adhesion. This is also a good time
to clean the sanding dust from
your studio.
3. Framing
For cycs with corner pieces, begin
in the corner of the wall where you
will remove two strips of sheetrock
and replace them with furring
strips or plywood so you have a
solid surface to which you attach
your Pro Cyc corner modules. The
first step is to slide your bottom
Pro Cyc corner section into the
corner. Next, use a pencil and
trace around the two vertical
edges of the corner module. This
will be approximately 37 ½ inches
from the corner. Pull the corner
away from the walls, so you have
room to work. Next, using a stud
finder, locate the studs in your
existing wall. From the lines
marking the vertical edges of your
corner section, locate the closest
stud inside each line and outside
each line. Remove the sheetrock
between the two studs on the left
and the two studs on the right.
Begin this process by cutting the
sheetrock with a knife or circular
saw 39 ½ inches above the floor
and up to the planned height of
the top vertical module. (BE
CAREFUL NOT TO CUT
