Default Looking for a specific DIY backdrop

I saw somewhere, maybe here, or I don't even know...a homemade backdrop stand that was very specific.
It was two parallel poles or pipes that supported the cross bar for the backdrop. However, the stand did not support itself and stand upright, but had rubber feet (I guess) on the top and bottom then you just leaned it up against a wall.
Does that sound familiar to anyone? I cannot find it anywhere. I thought that I bookmarked it, but apparently not.
Thanks in advance.

What Bruce said. You can use a hole saw to notch out the top so the cross bar will have a place to rest.

Thanks! Hubby and I were talking about making me a stand and this one seemed the easiest, cheapest, and probably would be most portable......

Right now I just use clamps and whatever.....my kids toy shelf make a fanstatic backdrop stand but it's not so portable.
