Begin by laying out the drape support horizontals.

The most common length used is a 7′-10’ adjustable horizontal. Sizes range from 2′-3′ up to 9′-16′.

The horizontal drape support length is selected by the span that needs to be covered, and the weight of the fabric being hung.

 

TIP: Use a horizontal that is 1 to 2 feet less than the actual span that you wish to cover. This will achieve optimum stability.
