You can set the background of an UIView or a subclass of UIView be filled with an image, repeated or stretched.

Repeated

UIImage *img = [UIImage imageNamed:@"bg.png"];
row.backgroundColor = [UIColor colorWithPatternImage:img];

Stretched

UIImage *img = [UIImage imageNamed:@"bg.png"];
row.layer.contents = (id)img.CGImage;
