How it works

Every drape setup is designed to order: you pick the pieces, sizes, valance style, colors and embroidery, and nothing is made until you approve a mockup.

1. Tell us what you are covering and send your logo or barn name and colors.
2. We design a mockup. Revise it as many times as you need.
3. Approve the mockup and pay the invoice in full.
4. Your drapes go into production. See current production times.

Not sure where to start? Send us a photo of a setup you like and we will work backwards from it.

Step 1: Plan each stall

Most setups are a drape panel with a valance across the top, plus a zipper door on the tack stall. Match the widths to the stall front.

Stall	Pieces	10' stall front	12' stall front
Tack stall (open doorway)	Drape panel + zipper door + valance	6' panel + zipper door + 10' valance	8' panel + zipper door + 12' valance
End stall or solid wall	Drape panel + valance	10' panel + 10' valance	12' panel + 12' valance
Wall behind a tent	Drape panel (one, or two layered) + valance	10' panel + 10' valance	12' panel + 12' valance
Horse stalls	Valance across the top, plus a door panel hung like a sign	Ask us	Ask us

• Measure first. Measure the stall fronts at the shows you go to most. Most are 10' or 12', and both are equally popular.
• One set per stall face. A valance can't wrap a corner or span two stalls. The longest valance is 17'.
• Height. Standard drape height is 7'4". Showing at WEC Ocala? Ask about drapes and valances sized for WEC's taller stalls.
• Custom sizes are available for an added charge.

Step 2: Choose your pieces

Every piece is sold separately, so you build exactly what each stall needs. Price ranges are as of November 2026, before embroidery and shipping.

Piece	What it does	Size	Price range
Drape panel	The main wall of fabric. One solid color, no trim or piping. Grommets and velcro tabs for hanging.	6', 8', 10' or 12' wide x 7'4" tall	$330 to $510
Valance	The top band. Velcros over the panel and carries the trim, piping and usually the embroidery.	6', 8', 10', 12' or 17' wide	$170 to $550 (see Step 3)
Zipper door	Closes the tack stall doorway. Zips open, with tiebacks.	Fits a standard stall door opening	$400 to $500
Hanging door panel	Accent panel that velcros over a drape. A good spot for a large logo.	44" x 88"	$400 to $500
FEI drape	Panel with a straight valance for FEI stabling. Velcro hanging.	57" x 88"	$400 to $500

Panels have no built-in door. On a tack stall, the zipper door sits next to a narrower panel (see Step 1).

Step 3: Pick a valance style

Styles 1 to 4 share one price, styles 5 to 7 cost a little more, and double or triple layers cost the most. See each shape on the valance page.

Flat valances (styles 1-4)

1. Style 1: 2" trim with piping, or a 1/4" or 1/2" underlay.
2. Style 2: trim with a 3/4" overlay.
3. Style 3: 2" trim with double piping, or an underlay.
4. Style 4: 2.5" trim with piping on the top and bottom.

Raised valances (styles 5-7): the trim band sits up from the bottom edge.

5. Style 5: 1.5" or 2.5" trim with piping or underlay on the top and bottom.
6. Style 6: like style 5, with double piping. 3 colors.
7. Style 7: like style 6, with 4 colors.

Double and triple valances: layered scallops in two or three colors.

• Double half round
• Double wave
• Triple half round
• Triple wave

Valance width	Price range
6'	$170 to $340
8'	$200 to $370
10'	$240 to $440
12'	$290 to $450
17'	$330 to $550

The low end is styles 1 to 4; the high end is a triple-layer valance.

• Each layer of a double or triple valance can be a different color, for example a two-tone wave in two blues.
• We don't offer a scalloped style.
• Match the valance width to the stall front, not the panel. A 12' tack stall gets a 12' valance over an 8' panel and a zipper door.

Step 4: Choose your colors

All drapes are Sunbrella, and you pick from its stocked colors on our Sunbrella color chart. Fabric can't be custom dyed, so we find the closest Sunbrella match to your barn colors.

Most setups use three colors:

1. Main color: the drape panels and zipper doors.
2. Trim: the valance, or its lower layer on a double or triple style.
3. Accent or piping: the edge detail on the valance.

Common requests and the closest match:

You want	Choose
Royal blue	Ocean Blue
Darker than Marine	Captain Navy
Hunter green	Forest Green
Gold	Wheat, Linen or Toast (no metallic fabric)
Tan	Linen, our most popular
White	Natural (off-white) or White
Silver	Light grey
Pink or coral	Mayfair is the only pink; no coral

• Purple: Concord is the only purple and it is very vibrant. It works best as an accent.
• Screens vary. Mockups show layout; the real color can look different. Thread is shiny and fabric is matte, so they never look identical.
• Matching drapes you already own? Tell us who made them. Sunbrella colors can be matched by name; other brands need a swatch.
• Want to see it in person? Ask us for swatches. They take about a week to arrive.

Step 5: Add embroidery

We can embroider your logo, barn name, trainer names or a monogram. Embroidery is priced by stitch count, so we quote it once we see your design.

• Where it goes. Most logos sit centered on the valance. A large logo often reads better on the drape panel or a hanging door panel. We'll suggest a spot based on your logo.
• One logo per valance. Two logos (say, one over each door) may not line up with the doors at every show, because stall widths and door styles vary.
• Send a vector file: .ai, .eps, .svg or .pdf. Screenshots and low-resolution JPGs can't be used.
• No vector file? We can redraw your logo, or design a clean barn name or monogram instead.
• Size limit. Logos are usually no wider than 19".
• Design limits. Gradients become one flat color. Very thin fonts may not hold an outline. If a thread color won't show up against the fabric, we'll flag it.
• Thread. Each fabric color has a matching thread. Metallic thread is a small upcharge.

Fonts

Barn names, trainer names and other text come in eight embroidery fonts. Three are capitals only.

Font	Look	Lowercase
Garamond	Classic serif	Yes
Trajan Pro	Elegant serif	Capitals only
Copperplate	Wide, crisp serif	Capitals only (small capitals for smaller letters)
Graduate	Collegiate block	Capitals only
Helvetica	Clean sans serif	Yes
Arial Bold	Bold sans serif	Yes
Diana Script	Formal script	Yes
Snow	Flowing script	Yes

Monograms

Prefer initials to a logo? Choose one of six monogram frames:

1. Tall letters in an oval
2. Letters in a circle
3. Letters with a point on each side
4. Letters in a diamond
5. Serif letters in an open diamond
6. Two letters in a hexagon

Sample setups

A 12' tack stall with a drape panel, zipper door and valance runs $1,100 to $1,300 before embroidery, shipping and tax.

Setup	Pieces	Price range
Tent back wall, 10'	10' panel + 10' valance	$650 to $850
Tack stall, 10'	6' panel + zipper door + 10' valance	$950 to $1,200
Tack stall, 12'	8' panel + zipper door + 12' valance	$1,100 to $1,300
Tack stall + dressing stall, 12' each	12' tack stall + 12' panel + 12' valance	$1,900 to $2,250

The low end uses a style 1-4 valance; the high end uses a triple-layer valance.

Hanging your drapes at the show

Most people zip-tie the panels straight to the stall through the grommets, because it works on any stall at any show.

• Panels: zip ties through the grommets. Or fix wood strips along the top and bottom of the stall and staple the drape to them.
• Valance: velcros onto the top of the panel.
• Hanging door panels and FEI drapes: attach with velcro.
• Banner: goes over the valance. Hang it from its top rod pocket, or staple or pin it to the fabric underneath. A standard 90" banner won't span a 10' wall, so center it.

Tell us what stalls you'll have and we'll suggest the best method.

Timing, shipping and care

Order well before your first show, and tell us your date when you reach out. Production starts once the mockup is approved and the invoice is paid. See current production times.

• Shipping: UPS Ground, quoted with your order. The ship-to address can't change once production starts.
• Barn orders: each rider gets their own invoice. Everything ships together to one address once every invoice is paid.
• Canada: we ship to Canada. Import duties and taxes are billed separately after customs.
• Care: ask us for our care sheet. Don't machine wash embroidered pieces.

FAQs

Will I see a design before I pay? Yes. We send a mockup and revise it as many times as you need. Nothing is made until you approve it.

Is there a deposit? No. You pay the invoice in full once the design is approved. Invoices are paid online; checks by mail are also accepted.

Can I buy my setup in pieces? Yes. We design the full look now so everything matches, and you start with the pieces you need most this season.

Can I add stalls later? Yes. We keep your colors, valance style and logo on file, so later pieces match.

Can my whole barn order together? Yes. Each rider pays their own invoice, and the order ships together once every invoice is paid.

Can I get a custom size or shape? Often, yes, for an added charge. Send the dimensions of every panel and we'll quote it.

Do you offer matching tents, banners and trunk covers? We design all of them to match your drapes. We settle your color scheme first, then mock up each piece.

What if something arrives wrong? If a color or the embroidery doesn't match your approved mockup, we send a prepaid UPS label and have the piece remade.
