Pipe & Drape Systems

Pipe and drape systems are professional modular backdrop solutions used to create stages, backdrops, partitions, and temporary walls for events. Designed for commercial environments, pipe & drape systems offer flexibility, stability, and scalability for a wide range of venue layouts and event requirements.

Unlike decorative backdrop stands, professional pipe and drape systems are built for repeated use, fast installation, and reliable performance. They are widely used by event planners, venues, and hire companies who require a clean, professional finish with adaptable configurations.

Why Use Professional Pipe & Drape Systems

Modular and Scalable

Pipe & drape systems are built from interchangeable components, allowing layouts to be extended, reduced, or reconfigured as needed. This makes them ideal for businesses managing multiple event sizes and formats.

Professional Finish

Designed to support professional drapes and fabrics, pipe & drape systems create smooth, seamless backdrops suitable for stages, ceremonies, exhibitions, and corporate events.

Venue-Friendly Installation

With adjustable heights and widths, pipe & drape systems can be installed without permanent fixings, making them suitable for hotels, halls, and temporary event spaces.

Built for Repeated Commercial Use

Manufactured for durability and stability, professional pipe & drape systems are designed for frequent setup, dismantling, and transport without compromising performance.

How Pipe & Drape Systems Work

A pipe & drape system is made up of three core structural elements that work together to form a stable framework:

  • Uprights provide vertical height and support
  • Crossbars span horizontally to carry drapes or fabrics
  • Base plates create a weighted foundation for stability

These components connect to form freestanding structures that can be used as single backdrops or extended into longer runs for partitions, stages, and full event layouts.

Pipe & Drape Components

Professional pipe & drape systems can be configured and expanded using individual components:

Each component category is designed to work seamlessly within a professional pipe & drape system.
