Why Is Backdrop Draping Needed?

Once you decide on which backdrop draping material is right for you, you’ll need to make a plan on how the
backdrop will stay up during your event. The easiest and safest option is to use a pipe and drape kit. Don’t worry about its appearance, it’s effectively hidden by the material but will still perform the crucial task of keeping your
drapes held up. The best thing to do is use a suitable backdrop draping
pipe and drape set that is sturdy and of the right size for your ceilings or intended use.
Finding The Best Backdrop Draping
When it comes to backdrop stands there are quite a few options. Backdrop stands usually vary due to how high the backdrop poles extend and how many crossbars it can support. There are some things you should be on the lookout for when you are finding a backdrop stand to use at your special event.
Make Sure it’s Easy to Move Around
Pipe and drape sets will need to be transported, so ensure the crossbars and uprights will be able to fit into your vehicle without a problem. Pipe and drape sets from CV Linens are lightweight and will be able to be carried with ease.
Make Sure it’s the Right Size
When you are looking for a backdrop stand you need one that can extend high and wide enough to fit the area you’re wanting it in. Measure out the area you’d like to have draping and order the corresponding size. If an area is too wide you may need to purchase an additional base, upright, and crossbar to cover the entire area.
Make Sure it’s Sturdy
While it’s true that your
backdrop stand needs to be lightweight, it also needs to be able to hold up your draping of choice. All drapes and not made the same and some are a heavier material than others. Not only will using a quality pipe and drape set avoid a potential decor collapse during your event, but it also removes any safety concerns for guests.
CV Linens pipe and drape sets are the epitome of
sturdy draping equipment. Each base is made of steel to ensure the structure will stay in place. In addition, each upright and crossbar is made of high-quality aluminum for dependability and ease of transport.
