The 4 Basic Components

Uprights

If you are just getting
into Pipe and Drape, we
recommend you start
with the industry
standard, fixed
height 8′ uprights.

Bases

Stabilizes the framework
and when
disassembled can be
stagger stacked for
increased storage.
 
Bases will determine what uprights and system you will use.
 
Slip-Fit System (most popular): Use this system to save time in setup and takedown.
 
Screw-In System: Often used when buying in bulk at trade shows. Use this system to save space in storage.

TIP: Pipe and Drape is usually purchased and rented out in 10′ sections.

Drape

Most companies
start out with Poly
Premier fabric which
has flat, professional
finish at an affordable
price point. Banjo Drape is also available at an even lower price. Performance Velour is recommended as the highest quality fabric, and is a 100% blackout fabric guaranteed to block incoming light.

Drape Supports

The most popular
Drape Support to get
started with is the
6′-10′ Telescoping
drape support, because it
gives you a variety of
width options.

What do I start with?

upright extensions

8′ Fixed Uprights

We recommend you start with standard, fixed height products. As you grow and advance, you can add pieces to extend your uprights. It’s like Legos®, you can build onto it as your business grows.

Need to go Taller?

Upright Extensions add an additional 2’, 4’, or 6’ to your existing upright. They simply slide into the upright with no tools required. If you decide to go taller, base weights are also recommended for stability.

Sheer Fabric

Transparent. Great for uplighting. Moves beautifully.

Banjo Drape

A slightly shiny, economical drape. The standard for conventional drape.
