Use a hinged half "A" frame on the back that can be attached with a couple of hinges. (not like an artist easel; rather the spine of the frame needs to sit right against the back middle of the flat so that it stands up straight). This type of frame can either be folded in or taken off for storage (depends on whether or not you are using canvas for the face of the flat). Also, make sure to use a 2 by 2 or 2 by 4 for the base so that a sandbag can be draped over it to keep it in place.

What does flats mean in drama?
Flats if you are talking about stage drama are the left and right side of the stage. Normally hung with curtains which can swivel to facilitate access in to the wings. In the Flats are hung in such a way as to make the stage seem wide and close to the audience stage front and will hang closer in to the stage as you move to stage rear. This is the illusion of being faraway the further back the actor moves. In Many stage drama the FLATS are solid and are part of the scenery i.e a door or wall - These move in to the sage for the scene and out again when the scene changes Above these, across the stage (left to right) are the SKIRTS. These hide the lights. these also are hung in such a way as to make the "ceiling" of the look like its in perspective with the side(FLATS) Above the skirts and lighting you have - The Flies. Named because stagehands would lower at high speed, scenery and curtains with background painted on them - then at the end of the scene they would lift them very quickly as the scene changed so they would FLY in the the roof space.

How to connect two stage flats?
Stage flats can be connected by several methods. One way is to have cleats (mending plates or other similar hardware) mounted on the flats facing away from each other. Sash cord is then used to lash the flats together, similar to wrapping rope on a boat cleat. At a minimum you will need a cleat near the top and bottom of each side of a flat. For taller flats you may need one in the middle, 10' high or more will probably require a middle cleat. The top and bottom cleats should be fine located 2' from the top and bottom, but all flats should have the cleats located in the same location to make the flats interchangeable. Some flats may need different locations due to factors such as windows or doors, cleats may be temporarily placed on adjoining flats to accommadate their placement. Another method is to directly screw a mending plate directly into both flats, top and bottom (and middle as required). Clamps should be used to draw the two flats together and hold them until the plates are attached. Flats may be spliced together with strips of plywood or horizontal 1x4"s spanning the widths of the flats if extra rigidity is needed. Any effective method may be used, and some set requirements may call different methods for special circumstances. Make sure to use properly sized fasteners, sash cord and hardware to handle the weight and stresses of the set, it is better to be safe and go heavier on the hardware if you are unsure of the capability to secure the flats.
