Pipe and drape has various names within the industry including pipe and drape system, pipe and base system, backdrapes and theatrical backdrop. Our pipe and drapes create a smart, non-intrusive background space. Ideally suited for trade show booths, they can also be used behind a theatre stage to cover up any distracting features of the non-dramatic wall/window/doorway behind it. Since it is freestanding, the backdrapes are also ideal for use as room dividers, exhibition stand curtain backgrounds, catering aisles, partitions, stage backdrops, and drape decor at events such as tradeshows, weddings, industry functions, fairs, receptions, fundraisers, special events, performances, and more.

Everything starts with a good foundation. Pipe and drape begin with 6 lb. to 62 lb. bases, as dictated by the height and weight of the drape. As required, sandbags are added for extra safety and stability. We stock a wide range of Inherently Flame Retardant (IFR) fabrics, from sheer to heavyweight velour, that can be used for everything from basic pipe and drape to a grand entrance or a traveler track reveal.

You can choose a custom drape and fabric for your rental that is not included in the basic package for a special price. IMPORTANT for custom draping must place an order no later then 2 weeks in advance.

Fullness occurs when a drape is sewn or gathered with more fabric than the width of coverage. When ordering, please take fullness into consideration.
