That’s based upon what you’re needing it for. I know for just a straight box you may want to use the backing. The other is used for odd angels and what not. You could use either does not really matter. I am sure you are worried based upon the cost. But like I said you can use either one. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif Hope that helps answering your questions.

You know a yard is 36" so add up the height/depth x 2, plus more for the sides since you box is almost as wide as the 54" width. Probably need 7 yards...

There was a good tutorial on elemental designs site, but that was months ago //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif
