Pipe and Drape 2.0
« on: March 28, 2011, 10:58:51 AM »
I came across this video on YouTube and it turns out that I know the guy in the video.

They've got an adaption for pipe and drape that kicks ass.  Check out these videos.

That is a well thought out system.  Thanks for the link!

I would worry about those ends slipping out. What if something caught the drape while you were lowering the uprights?

I know the standard system isn't that much better but it can't just lift straight out.

That's nice, but I don't think it's worth my time or money refitting my inventory. Aside from allowing the horizontal pipes to be at the top of the uprights for a slightly cleaner look, it does not offer me any other reason to change from the standard fittings.

Also, they don't make any adapters for standard 8' high pipe (like for expo booths) so a company with both types of uprights like myself would need 2 different horizontal bars.

Good concept, just not for me.

What is considered "standard" for this type of thing?

Luther, Thanks for the post.  If anyone has any specific questions about Pipe & Drape 2.0 and how it works, send me a note, I'd be happy to answer. I'll be posting additional videos on youtube over the next few weeks, so keep an eye out. Just search youtube for "pipe & drape 2.0" and you'll see them.

Vince - someone's bound to be the first to say it - but you need to change your alias to your full real name - per forum rules.


Adios,

Read the rules. Real names are required to participate here.  Also, manufacturers or their reps should state who they are connected to in their posts, especially when they are responding to a thread about products they represent.

Got it, thanks for the heads up. Also, I won't be trying to sell anyone here, just answering any questions that come up or posting a link to videos. Any interest in purchasing or getting samples should be directed to me off line via a personal message.
