What is Pipe & Drape?

Think of it as a flexible toolkit for shaping your event environment to your needs. We use pipe & drape to create booths, breakout rooms and event areas that didn’t exist previously. Another great use of pipe & drape is to make a busy wall space into a smooth and clean looking backdrop removing things that are unsightly. One of the most common uses of pipe & drape is for professional vendor booths at tradeshows and to block unwanted views or light. Our team designs the floor plan with you to cover all the bases; bringing together all the necessary equipment and managing installation and removal so that your space looks polished without adding stress to your timeline.
