Drape Kings Carpets the 2012 Bike New York Expo

Drape Kings carpet division installed over 7,700 yards of black and grey event carpet and Astro turf for the 2012 Bike Expo New York at Basketball City in Lower Manhattan that opened May 3. This epic set up took two months of planning, culminating in a crew of 25 men, 35 rolls of carpet, and took less than ten hours to turn around. In addition to the expanse of carpet required, the staff of Drape Kings set up 96 trade show booths with black banjo drape while also lining the perimeter of the expo with almost 500' of high quality, durable black velour event drape.

Drape Kings chief operating officer, Kevin Goodrich, states "This was a proud and an equally impressive accomplishment for Drape Kings. Installing 96 trade show booths and laying 7,700 yards of carpet was quite a large endeavor for anyone. To do both at the same time in less than the allotted 10 hours is what made this such a challenging event. With detailed planning and a top notch crew, Drape Kings once again delivered as promised and with time to spare."

The massive setup for the 2012 Bike New York Expo showcased the many options in urban cycling to the New York metro population. The varied layout was designed to recreate the diverse streets of New York. The expo, featuring cycling vendors, live performances as well as giveaways, ran May 3-5.
