PIPE AND DRAPE
WHAT IS PIPE AND DRAPE?
Pipe and drape is a temporary, portable system used to create partitions, backdrops, or decorative elements for events, trade shows, weddings, photography set ups, and stage productions. It consists of metal pipes (uprights and crossbars) that support fabric drapes, which can be adjusted in height and width.
The fabric used can vary in color and sheerness based on the specific application. It’s a cost-effective, flexible solution that can be set up and taken down quickly, making it a favorite in the event industry.
WHY IS IT USED?
TO DRESS UP A SPACE
Enhances aesthetics, creating elegant backgrounds for weddings, galas, and corporate events.

TO DIVIDE A SPACE
Partitions large rooms into smaller sections, such as booths at trade shows or backstage areas at performances. It sets up and breaks down quickly enough to be used during "room flips".
For Privacy and Concealment
Hides unsightly areas. Offers privacy or extra storage.

For Branding & Theming
Can be customized with logos, colors, or specific designs to match an event’s theme.

For Acoustic and Lighting Control
Helps absorb sound and control light reflections in event spaces or studios. Here it was used to cover the windows in the sidewall of this tent and to provide a lush, soft back drop behind this head table.
