Black Silk Draping Backdrop - with Swag
Black Draping Backdrop for Hire in Melbourne
Need to hide the distractions? Cover bright walls, screen off storage areas, create a clean stage backdrop or divide a large venue into separate spaces. Our Black Silk Draping is a favourite for corporate events, school presentations, awards nights, concerts and performances where you want the focus exactly where it belongs.
The freestanding frame adjusts from 1.8m to 3m high, with each section extending from 1.8m to 3m wide. Need to cover a larger venue? Simply add more sections - they join together seamlessly to create backdrops over 30 metres wide.
This hire includes:
- Black Silk Satin curtain (Choose your width in the top drop-down menu)
- Optional removable silk swag
- Freestanding adjustable pole & drape system
- Heavy-duty weighted base plates
- Black pole covers so the poles blend into the curtain
Sometimes the best styling decision is simply hiding the bits nobody came to see. It's not there to steal the show. It's there to make sure nothing else does!
Dimensions:
Adjustable from 1.8m to 3m high. Width is hired in 3m sections, with additional sections available to create backdrops up to 30m+ wide.
Weight:
Weighted steel base plates (6.5kg each) keep the backdrop stable during your event.

Black
Material:
150gsm Premium Ice Silk Satin. It hangs beautifully and is perfect for backdrops.
DIY Friendly?
