📝 Instructional Guide: How to Set Up DIY Tent Draping
Below are the instructions for setting up our DIY tent draping using our poly silk fabric, which is ideal for wall-to-wall draping. Please review the details carefully to ensure a smooth setup process.
Fabric and Panel Details
- Fabric Type: Poly silk
- Panel Size: Approximately 25 feet long by 9 feet wide
- Rental Cost: Approximately $25 per panel
Setup Instructions
- Calculate How Many Draping Panels are Needed:
- For each 10-foot section of draping, you will need 4 panels of fabric.
- Each section takes approximately 30 minutes to set up.
.
- Calculate How Long to Setup the Draping:
- For a 200-foot long tent (which consists of 20 sections of 10 feet each):
- Total Setup Time = 20 sections x 30 minutes per section = 600 minutes, or 10 hours for 1 person.
- We recommend having 1 person work for every 2 hours, which equates to approximately 4 sections (40 feet) per person.
- For a 200-foot-long tent, it would take 5 people to setup in 2 hours.
- Typically, for large tents, 3-5 people are involved in the set up. Experienced event companies often complete this in less than 4 hours with 2-3 people.

- For a 200-foot long tent (which consists of 20 sections of 10 feet each):
- Calculate Drapery Panels:
- Example 1: 200 Linear Feet Tent (all white fabric)
- Tent Dimensions: 40 feet wide by 60 feet long (total 200 linear feet)
- Number of Sections: 20 (each 10 feet long)
- Panels Needed: 4 panels per section x 20 sections = 80 panels
- Example 2: 30ft x 20ft Frame Tent (alternative white & pink fabric)
- Tent Dimensions: 30 feet + 20 feet + 30 feet + 20 feet = 100 linear feet
- Number of Sections: 10 (each 10 feet long)
- Panels Needed: 4 panels per section x 10 sections = 40 panels
- Rent: (20) panels of 25 feet long white fabric
- Rent: (20) panels of 25 feet long pink fabric (or any other color)
- Example 1: 200 Linear Feet Tent (all white fabric)
