What Is Draping Fabric?

Draping fabric is soft, flowing cloth hung inside or around a tent to cover the ceiling, walls, poles and frame.
It is also called event draping, tent ceiling drapes, wedding drapes, ceiling lining fabric, sheer drapes or backdrop fabric.
It hides metal frames, wires and roof seams, which gives the tent a clean, finished look.
It adds colour, texture and depth, and it works well with fairy lights, chandeliers and flowers.
Draping can be fitted in temporary tents for one event or in semi-permanent structures for hotels, lodges and venues.
