Pipe and Drape can be set up from the floor (no matter how short you are) no ladder required! Attach the hook end into the top of the first upright. Holding the unattached end in your left hand, grab the other upright in your right hand and angle it in toward your body until you can comfortably attach the other hook then raise back up. For a long line of pipe and drape, you’ll continue this movement down the line until complete.

Don’t have a screwdriver on hand? No worries, tradeshow professionals know the easiest way to tighten the screw when connected to the base is to use a quarter from your glove box.

It’s important to make sure the screw is tight, so your pin is secure, which helps keep the upright from wobbling.

Keep it simple by planning your Pipe and Drape section in 10ft increments. That way you can use your Drape Support adjusted out to 10ft as a measurement guide on where to set your base plates. This also makes calculating how many panels of drape you need easier.

We recommend three panels of all our fabric for a 10ft section of Pipe and Drape; the only exception is Sheer (Voile) and Banjo, which we recommend four panels per 10ft section of Pipe and Drape.
