The Complete Guide to Pipe & Drape Bases
Sep
When it comes to building a safe, professional, and polished pipe and drape setup, the base plate is the most important piece of the puzzle. It’s the foundation that keeps your uprights standing tall and the difference between a smooth event and a wobbly headache.
At Georgia Expo, we manufacture, punch, and finish our base plates right here in Suwanee, GA. That means unmatched quality, faster shipping, and features that come standard with no additional cost.
