Hey Susan!!? I just ordered new drape from Gourmet Table Skirts.? I did not have to order new pipe parts though.? This company was great to work with and they even sent samples to me to see if it was the fabric I wanted. Hope this helps!!

Hello.
I’m not sure what all you’re replenishing. If it’s drape and you’re wanting to purchase more of a particular color, I’d suggest ordering all new because the colors will likely not match exactly. I’ve ordered additional black and gray drape for our inventory and with general handling and use over the years, they may have faded in color or more than likely, the new drape is from a different dye lot. It is very obvious when you add stage lighting to them.
I really like the Crown Cap from Georgia Expo or Drape 2.0 from Drape Kings for the top of the upright poles. If you order the Drape 2.0 from Drape Kings, you may have to convert the ends of your crossbars.I hope this helps!

Hi Susan,
The UWF Commons has been ordering our PnD from Georgia Expo for nearly 20 years. I’ve not done any comparison shopping because we’ve been quite satisfied with their quality and service.

Hi all! We have been ordering from pipeanddrapeonline.com (yes, it’s a real website!) and have been very pleased with quality, shipping time, and price.?
The pipe and drape that comes standard behind stages in our Ballrooms is included in the rental fee for the room. If they want additional pipe and drape, or if they are using it in a different space, we charge per 10′ section: $10 for student orgs, $20 for university groups, and $50 for external clients. We do not rent out equipment for spaces other than our own student centers, so that fee includes set up and tear down.
Good luck!
