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.

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.
