Pipe & Drape - Items
Upright
These uprights are essential for creating a construction. Regardless of the length, uprights are used to connect pipe and drape beams at the correct height. Specific Wentex uprights with a fixed height of
120 cm are available for creating a drape for the direction. Are you looking for an upright to create a dividing wall? Go for the extendable upright that you can be adjusted to between
180 and 420 cm high. You can also rent a pipe & drape stand with a length of between
150 and 250 cm especially for use as a light stand.
Horizontal
Do you want to conceal your wall using pipe & drape? Then the use of the right beams is essential. These beams are connected to the uprights, allowing them to be adjusted to any desired height. If you are looking to hire the right pipe and drape beam, then you have come to the right place. Our beams come with velcro, which makes attaching the fabric very easy. These horizontals are available from us in a version with an adjustable length of
90 to 120 cm, but also in a version that is adjustable between
180 and 300 cm. Each horizontal has a pin on both sides for the Wentex 4-way connector.
Baseplate
A pipe & drape system doesn't stand up on its own. The thin uprights and beams aren't very stable. For safe and stable installation, each upright must be connected to a weighted baseplate. This baseplate needs to be provided with a special orange pin to connect the upright. The steel baseplate is
45 by 45 cm and offers you the possibility to mount the pin in 3 different ways. This means that the baseplate always fits with the way you want to place the pipe and drape. You can rent any number of Wentex baseplates from us.
Pin
In pipe & drape constructions, the pin is an essential item. It may be the smallest, but it's also most important. It provides the connection between the baseplate and the Wentex upright. Without this pin, the system simply won't stay upright. Most configurations use the
10 cm long version. This offers sufficient stability for normal use with pipe and drape cloths. Would you like to use pipe and drape as a stand, for example, for placing spotlights? Then we recommend renting the
40 cm long pin. For the sake of safety during assembly and disassembly, these pins are bright orange, so they will stand out well if a stand has not yet been placed on top of the pin.
Drape
All the parts for creating a pipe & drape construction may be nice and all, but with the addition of the right cloth the result really becomes visible. Different canvases can be rented for different events and vibes. The most commonly used is the
black Molton CS fabric. This is unpleated and ensures a sleek result. We also offer pleated variants, such as the
white medium glossy satin fabric (MGS) or
bordeaux red dimout fabric. For an especially atmospheric setting we offer
starcloths with white LEDs embedded in them. Naturally, all of our Wentex pipe and drape cloths are fully impregnated and therefore fire retardant. This means that they are completely suitable for use during events.
Accessories
Creating a straight dividing wall or screen along an ugly wall isn't very difficult. No special pipe & drape parts are needed for this. However, it may happen that less common constructions are needed to achieve the result you want. With the help of special accessories this all becomes possible. By renting a
flexible adapter it is possible to connect one beam to another without the use of a upright. To connect beams at different levels to a upright, use the special angle bracket or
angled bracket. Do you want to use pipe and drape as a light stand? Consider renting a
T-Bar for lighting.
