  • Draping

    Description

    Fabric inside a tent does two jobs. It hides the frame. It also brings the ceiling down to a height that reads as a room. A tent draping rental covers the first kind of work. Full liners cover the second.

    Draping, liners and pole covers are three separate orders

    Draping treats the parts a guest stands next to. Pole wraps, entrance accents and swags all sit in that group. A liner is a different order. It spans the entire interior ceiling. So it hides the frame overhead instead of the upright beside you. Pole covers fall between the two. They fit the center poles of a rope and pole tent, and they go up on their own.

    Liners come cut to a tent size rather than sold by the yard. Our stock runs to the common frame sizes. A 40×40 with a gable end, a 40×120 with hip ends, a 40×140 with hip ends. So the tent goes on the order first. Then the liner that matches it follows.

    What the fabric changes in the room

    A bare frame tent reads as white vinyl and metal. Once a liner is in, the eye stops at fabric. The light softens as well, because it no longer bounces off bare pipe. Draping does something narrower. It gives the poles and the entrance a finished edge. That matters most at the door, where every guest passes within a foot of the structure.

    Lighting changes the decision. Chandeliers and string lights hang from the same frame as the liner. So the two want planning together. Tell us the lighting plan when you ask about fabric. That way the rigging goes up once instead of twice.

    How the install works

    Our crew measures the tent, tensions each panel and secures it to the frame. Panels that hang loose sag by the evening. So tension is most of the work. Timing matters too. Fabric goes in after the tent and before the floor plan. That puts it early in the schedule.

    Worth putting on the same quote request: tent liners, a center pole cover drape, and the pole cover drapery options.

    Add draping to your quote request. Give us the tent size, the date and the lighting plan, and we will confirm what we have open.

    • Be prepared to answer any calls from a number you do not recognize – this will be the delivery driver.
    • Provide alternate contact information in the event that we are unable to reach you for delivery.
    • If you have animals in the event area, please make sure that all animal feces have been picked up.
    • Make sure furniture is removed from the setup location before delivery.
    • Move vehicles so the crew has easy access to event space.
    • Contact 811 to locate any underground power, utility, or water lines. The customer is responsible for locating septic systems or irrigation lines.

    We can accommodate the smallest event in a 10 x 10 or go as large as a 60 x 230. Larger tents are available as well as structure tents. We can put multiple tents together to make a larger space – call and ask for more information to suit your needs.

    We typically do not, but we are happy to do this for you. You may request setup and breakdown of tables and chairs in advance during the reservation process. An additional charge will be necessary for this service.

    Our delivery includes a drop off to a location that is easily accessible from the truck since we will be carrying heavy / bulky items. Delivery to a basement or to a location that requires use of an elevator or flight of stairs will require additional charges due to additional time required to access the location.

    It is best to call your local planning and zoning department to confirm, but typically private events on private property do not need them. If you are a business hosting an event on a business address then you traditionally do need a permit.

    Larger items and items that need tools to install do include setup and breakdown. This includes tents and tent accessories (lighting, drapery, etc.) and staging and flooring. The set up and break down of tables and chairs is the responsibility of the customer unless previously arranged for an additional charge.
