Event draping hire FAQs

How much does event draping cost in Sydney?

Every job is quoted individually based on venue size, drop height, fabric choice and install access.

The full stock list with hire prices is on our stock page, and our Drape Planning Tool lets you choose fabrics, set heights, visualise and run the numbers yourself. Full-service quotes include delivery, installation, standby where needed, and pack-down.

Do you install the draping, or can we do it ourselves?

Both. Full service means we deliver, install and pack down everything, coordinated around your AV, lighting and staging teams. Equipment hire with delivery to site sits in between: we deliver and collect, you handle the install. Dry hire is available for production professionals who prefer self-pickup from our Turrella warehouse (some exceptions apply).

Are the drapes fire retarded?

Yes. All our drapes are fire-retarded to Australian standard AS 1530 (parts 2 and 3), with compliance certificates available for venue sign-off. We use the world's leading VOC-free retardant product on all our drapes.
