Two people are just about a necessity but a third set of hands would have been useful. There are several different methods for installing the backdrops. Wallaper paste(the method I used because we had paste on hand), two sided tape(better have it where you want it using this method, when it sticks it is there) and they also have been using rubber cement(youo can usually only do about a foot at a time with this method but you can take it loose and adjust it). I have hung wallpaper(our whole house interior walls are papered) so this was the easiest method for me. The have the installation instructions on thier website that you can print out. I did and they were very helpful.
