Pipe and drape crossbars are an essential horizontal component within professional pipe and drape systems, used to create controlled span widths between uprights for draping, backdrops, and temporary installations. They are widely used by venues, event planners, and hire companies requiring adaptable, repeatable event layouts.
Pipe & Drape Crossbars for Professional Event Systems
Crossbars connect uprights to form the structural framework for draping systems. Different crossbar formats are used depending on span requirements, transport considerations, and frequency of setup.
What Are Pipe & Drape Crossbars?
Pipe and drape crossbars are horizontal bars designed to slot securely into compatible uprights, creating a stable support for drapes and accessories. WeddingMart supplies professional-grade SpliTex crossbars designed for compatibility within standard pipe and drape systems.
Telescopic (Adjustable) Crossbars
Telescopic crossbars feature an extendable design that allows span widths to be adjusted on site. They are ideal for venues and hire companies managing varying room sizes or changing layouts.
Fixed-Length Crossbars
Fixed crossbars provide consistent, predetermined span widths. They are often used in repeat installations where uniform spacing and fast setup are priorities.
Sectional Crossbar Systems
Sectional crossbars consist of multiple modular sections that can be joined together to create longer runs. This format offers transport and storage advantages when extended spans are required.
Designed for Professional Hire and Venue Use
All crossbar types are designed for durability and repeated assembly. Standardised components support efficient setup, breakdown, and storage for professional operations.
Compatibility Within Pipe & Drape Systems
Pipe and drape crossbars are compatible with telescopic uprights, base plates, and a wide range of draping accessories, allowing systems to be expanded or reconfigured as requirements change.
Choosing the Right Pipe & Drape Crossbar
When selecting crossbars, key considerations include required span width, whether adjustability is needed, and how frequently the system will be transported or reconfigured. Choosing the appropriate format helps ensure efficient setup and long-term usability.
