Pipe & Drape Section

Pipe & drape section for backstage areas and event zone control

A pipe & drape section is one of the most versatile tools in the event industry, providing instant privacy, organisation, and visual enhancement for a variety of professional settings. Whether you’re managing talent access points at a music festival or dividing hospitality lounges at a national sports event, this modular system gives you the flexibility to create clean, structured environments with ease.

Each pipe & drape section comprises two sturdy baseplates, two vertical pipes, one horizontal crossbar, and a high-quality fabric panel. The entire unit is designed to be self-supporting, with no need for ceiling or wall fixings, making it suitable for use in virtually any indoor venue. With an extendable width from 2m to 3m and a height of up to 3m, you can customise your setup based on the size and structure of your event space.

The drapes themselves are made from heavyweight serge wool or velour, offering excellent light-blocking properties and acoustic dampening — ideal for creating quieter backstage environments, screening off production equipment, or establishing temporary green rooms. Multiple colour options are available to coordinate with your event branding or to blend discreetly into the background.

Event furniture essentials for flexible space division

The pipe & drape section is a staple piece of event furniture for planners who need to manipulate venue layouts quickly and professionally. Whether you’re managing a press conference zone at a large-scale sporting event or needing to cordon off an artist area backstage, these units are quick to assemble and dismantle with no tools required.

Because they are completely modular, you can hire as many pipe & drape sections as you need and link them together to create continuous runs or defined areas within larger event spaces. The fabric hangs cleanly from the crossbar with minimal creasing, offering a high-end finish that helps reinforce the professional standards of your event.

Their freestanding design makes them suitable for use even in listed or delicate venues where wall fixings are not permitted, and their compact footprint means they won’t encroach heavily on valuable floor space. From blackouts for lighting control to privacy zones for quick wardrobe changes, these sections deliver discreet, functional support where it matters most.

The heavy-duty baseplates provide reliable stability on a range of hard, flat surfaces, while the adjustable uprights and crossbars allow for quick size configuration depending on the shape and scale of your event zone.

Why hiring a pipe & drape section offers maximum flexibility

Hiring pipe & drape sections is an efficient and cost-effective way to achieve professional zoning and layout management without needing to purchase, store, or maintain large quantities of infrastructure. These systems are designed specifically for short-term use in dynamic event environments, and hiring allows you to scale up or down depending on the unique demands of each job.

Hiring also gives you access to clean, high-quality fabric that has been freshly laundered and fire-retardant treated, meeting safety and hygiene standards required by major venues. It eliminates the logistical challenges of cleaning, storing, and transporting large quantities of draping between events — an important consideration for travelling roadshows, touring productions, and festival setups where space and time are both limited.

If you’re creating media zones at a football stadium, sectioning off dressing areas backstage at a concert, or simply looking for a clean and professional way to mask technical equipment from public view, hiring gives you the freedom to adapt and reconfigure your setup quickly as the event evolves.
