Pipe & Drape Systems Canada
Professional Pipe & Drape Hardware, Custom Sewing & Printed Backdrops
Whether you’re creating a church stage, trade show booth, theatre backdrop, convention space, wedding installation, or corporate event, pipe and drape remains one of the most versatile staging systems available.
At Equus Fabrics, we supply complete pipe and drape systems across Canada and the United States, including hardware, custom-sewn drapery, IFR fabrics, blackout curtains, printed backdrops, and fabrication services.
Unlike suppliers that only sell hardware, we can provide complete turnkey solutions — from fabric selection and custom sewing to finished drapery panels ready for installation.
Complete Pipe & Drape Systems
A professional pipe and drape system consists of three main components:
Uprights
Adjustable aluminum uprights provide the vertical support structure. Systems are available in fixed and telescopic designs with heights ranging from approximately 3 ft to 25 ft depending on the application.
Crossbars
Adjustable drape supports span between uprights and support the curtain panels. Crossbars are commonly available in adjustable widths from 6 ft to 14 ft.
Base Plates
Heavy-duty steel base plates provide stability and are selected based on the height of the installation. Larger systems utilize heavier bases for increased safety and support.
For larger installations, sandbags and additional weights can also be incorporated for additional stability.
Custom-Sewn Pipe & Drape Curtains
This is where Equus Fabrics differs from most hardware suppliers. We can have everything done for you – sewing, fabric selections, swatches and sewing. All you need to do is send us your meausrement and we take care of the rest.
Our workroom can fabricate custom pipe and drape panels to virtually any size required for:
- Churches
- Schools
- Theatres

Fabrication options may include:

Most fabrication projects are completed approximately 2–3 weeks from final approval depending on project size. However, for rush jobs we can have this done in 2 weeks or less.
Fire-Rated Pipe & Drape Fabrics

Custom Printed Pipe & Drape Systems
One of the biggest advantages of working with Equus Fabrics is our ability to digitally print custom graphics directly onto selected fabrics.
Applications include:
- Branded backdrops
- Corporate events
- Trade show displays
- Step-and-repeat walls
- Photography backgrounds
- Church stage graphics
- Theatre scenery

- Hospitality installations
Using dye-sublimation printing, we can produce large-format printed panels with vibrant colour and seamless visual impact.
Many customers combine printed graphics with traditional drapery systems to create professional-looking environments that can be assembled and dismantled quickly.
Popular Fabric Options
Different applications require different fabrics.
For theatrical masking and light control, many customers choose IFR Velour or Duvetyne.
For event environments, Poly Premier, Voile, and decorative drapery fabrics remain popular choices.
For branded environments and exhibitions, printable blackout fabrics and custom-printed textiles are often preferred.
Our team can recommend the most suitable fabric based on:
- Light control
- Acoustics
- Appearance
