Product Description

WENTEX P&D Base Plate – 450 x 450 mm (18" x 18") – 8 kg (18 lbs) – Black (Powder Coated)

The WENTEX P&D 18" x 18" Base Plate is designed for mid-height and demanding pipe and drape installations where added stability is required.

With a 450 x 450 mm footprint and a solid 8 kg (18 lbs) steel construction, this base plate provides dependable support for drapes up to 12 ft high. It is the recommended pairing for 200 mm (8") base plate pins in standard 8'–12' builds.

The durable black powder-coated finish resists wear and corrosion while maintaining a clean, professional appearance through repeated load-ins and strikes in both indoor and controlled outdoor environments.

Stable, practical, and production-ready, this base plate delivers the balance of strength and manageable weight preferred by event professionals and rental inventories.
