Complete pipe & drape kits for fast, professional event backdrops. A pipe and drape kit gives you everything needed to build a freestanding backdrop, booth divider, or stage-masking wall in minutes — uprights, bases, adjustable crossbars, and flame-retardant drapes — with no tools required. Expo Warehouse is an authorized WENTEX dealer shipping genuine, professional-grade pipe and drape across the US and Canada from our warehouse in Evans, GA.
Two ways to build your pipe & drape system
- Ready-made WENTEX XL Kits — complete, premium pleated Velvet Napoli backdrops from 10 ft to 16 ft tall by 11 ft wide, in black, light grey, and royal blue. Each XL Kit ships on a steel rolling trolley sized for fast load-in and storage. Browse the kits below for current sizes, colors and availability.
- Build your own from components — mix and match in-stock pipe & drape hardware (uprights, base plates, telescopic crossbars, connectors) with the drape panel sizes and colors you need. This is the most flexible — and often most economical — way to outfit a rental fleet or a custom-size room.
Not sure how many parts you need? Use our Pipe & Drape Calculator to turn a backdrop length and height into a parts list, or request a no-obligation quote and a specialist will spec it for you.
What's included in a pipe and drape kit
- Uprights — telescopic vertical poles that set your backdrop height. WENTEX 4-way uprights adjust from 6 ft to 16 ft and lock with a compression brake and tightening handle for a secure, rattle-free hold.
- Bases — weighted steel base plates for stability. Add rubber base weights for extra hold on uneven floors or in high-traffic aisles.
- Crossbars / drape supports — telescoping horizontals that span between uprights and carry the drape. Available in 3–4 ft, 4–6 ft, and 6–10 ft adjustable spans so one set covers many widths.
- Drapes — flame-retardant panels in multiple heights, widths, colors, and finishes — pleated Velvet Napoli for a premium event look, or MGS for everyday masking. See all pipe & drape curtains.
How to choose the right pipe and drape kit
Select your system by backdrop height and width. Shorter 6–8 ft setups suit trade-show booths, registration walls, and head tables, while 10–16 ft systems create full-height stage backdrops and room dividers. Every WENTEX system is modular, so you can extend the width by adding sections as your event grows. For a step-by-step walkthrough of heights, widths, fabrics, and kits-vs-components, read our Pipe & Drape Kits Buying Guide and the sizing guide, or start with our Complete Guide to Pipe & Drape.
Built for event & production professionals
Pipe and drape kits are ideal for trade shows, weddings, corporate events, houses of worship, theaters, schools, and AV rental fleets. These all-in-one systems travel easily, assemble without tools, and stand up to repeated use season after season. For broadcast and stage front-of-house applications, see our FOH drape kits and camera surrounds; for permanent ceiling-mounted curtain tracks, see Eurotrack; and for theatrical masking and light-blocking fabric, see duvetyne.
Why buy WENTEX pipe & drape from Expo Warehouse
As the authorized WENTEX pipe & drape distributor for the US and Canada, Expo Warehouse stocks genuine, professional-grade hardware and drapes — not the lightweight imports sold elsewhere. WENTEX uprights use a compression-brake lock (not a friction cam) for repeatable, secure setups, and our drapes are flame-retardant for US and Canadian venue requirements. Every order is backed by expert support to help you spec the right system the first time. Questions on stock or lead time? Request a quote or contact our team.
Stocked drape heights
10 ft, 12 ft, 14 ft, 16 ft.
All four heights typically ship next business day from Evans, GA — built from the same 11 ft wide Pleated Velvet Napoli drape panels and the same production-grade hardware. Heights expand from 6 ft to 16 ft on custom order. Widths expand by combining kits and adding 11 ft panels.
10' Wall Height
Trade show booth backdrops, conference stages, single-presenter backdrops.
12' Wall Height
Mid-size stage backdrops, ceremony walls, corporate keynote stages.
14' Wall Height
Full stage backdrops, large ceremony walls, broadcast set backings.
16' Wall Height
Stage-grade walls, premium broadcast backdrops, two-story event reveals.
Any Size or Color
Non-standard heights (6 ft to 16+), custom widths, alternate fabrics, custom colors. Lead time 4–6 weeks.
Engineered for the production industry.
Not a party rental.
Cheap pipe & drape arrives loose in cardboard boxes, gets damaged on the first truck load, and shows up at the venue wrinkled and missing parts. Every WENTEX kit ships on a steel rolling trolley — built for the production warehouse and the tour-bus trailer.
Load the trolley with the warehouse forklift. No two-person lift, no awkward case handles. Strap it to a pallet and move.
Industry-standard touring spec. Rolls clean on backstage flooring, ramp loading, and stage decks. Replaceable, serviceable, won't fail mid-tour.
Standard touring trailer dimensions in mind. Stack predictably, secure with standard E-track straps, no awkward gaps eating cubic.
Each steel rolling trolley holds the base plates, pins, uprights, drape supports, and drapes for up to 90 continuous feet of pipe & drape. Everything organized, everything in its place.
Why crews hate pipe & drape.
And what changes here.
Every touring tech, AV crew chief, and rental house owner has the same complaints about generic pipe & drape. Here's the side-by-side — every line is a real pain point WENTEX engineered out of the system.
| The old way (generic pipe & drape) | The WENTEX way |
|---|---|
| Cardboard boxes that fall apart on truck load | Steel rolling trolley · forklift pockets · 2″ Colson casters · 90 ft capacity |
| Banjo cloth that bleeds light under LED fixtures | 260 g/m² Pleated Velvet Napoli — absorbs light, premium finish |
| Hex-key set screws that strip and loosen between events | Tool-free compression brake locks — tighten the handle, upright locks at height |
| Generic clamps that come loose on the road | Production-grade locking hardware throughout |
| Hands-on case unpacking, hand-lifted uprights | Roll the trolley in, forklift it from the truck, deploy without strain |
| Drape panels packed loose with the hardware, creased before the show | Bagged drapes stored on the trolley, ready to deploy on stage |
| No flame certificate, last-minute fire-marshal hassle | NFPA 701 (US) & CAN/ULC-S109 (Canada) certificates with every order |
Built for production.
Engineered to last.
Six things that make a WENTEX pipe & drape kit different from anything else stocked in North America.
Integrated forklift pockets
Load the case from the warehouse forklift, not by hand. Saves crews, saves backs, saves time on every load-in and load-out.
2″ Colson casters
The industry-standard touring caster. Rolls clean on stage decks, ramps, and backstage flooring. Replaceable and serviceable, not consumer-grade.
Tool-free compression brake locks
Tighten the handle and the upright locks at height. No hex keys, no set screws, no consumables. Nothing to strip, nothing to lose between events.
Premium Pleated Velvet Napoli
260 g/m² inherently flame retardant fabric. Absorbs stage light instead of reflecting it — reads as a finished theatrical wall, not a temporary booth.
Modular and expandable
Combine multiple kits or add individual 11 ft panels to expand the wall width. Same hardware throughout. Build the room to fit the venue.
Stocked + custom
Four wall heights stocked in Evans, GA — ready to ship. Any custom height, color, or finish on order. Lead time 4–6 weeks for custom.
Pick the right configuration.

How to choose wall height for your stage, ceiling, audience sight lines, and camera framing. Plus how to expand the width modularly.
Stocked or custom? When to spec each.
The honest tradeoffs — price, lead time, color and size flexibility. When the four stocked heights ship next day, and when custom is the right call.
Specifications & logistics.
10 ft, 12 ft, 14 ft, and 16 ft wall heights — all built from 11 ft wide Pleated Velvet Napoli drape panels. All four typically ship next business day from Evans, GA. Custom heights from 6 ft to 16 ft (and beyond on quote) are available on order.
Yes. The system is modular — add additional 11 ft panels or combine multiple kits to expand the wall width. The hardware connects with the same tool-free compression brake locks throughout.
Yes. Custom heights, custom colors, and alternate finishes are available on order with a 4–6 week lead time. Request a custom quote and we'll spec the right configuration for your show or rental fleet.
Yes. Pleated Velvet Napoli is Inherently Flame Retardant (IFR) — certified to NFPA 701 (US) and CAN/ULC-S109 (Canada). Flame certificates for both standards ship with every order.
Every WENTEX Pipe & Drape XL Kit ships on a steel rolling trolley with integrated forklift pockets and 2″ Colson casters. The trolley holds the base plates, pins, uprights, drape supports, and drapes — enough hardware for up to 90 continuous feet of pipe & drape. LTL freight (truck) from Evans, GA. Typically next business day on in-stock configurations.
FOH kits are compact (4–6 ft tall) drape enclosures for dressing up your AV control area. Pipe & Drape Kits are stage-scale backdrops (10–16 ft tall) for full stage walls, ceremony backdrops, and trade show booths. Same brand, same drape fabric, very different scale.
