The Hatteras Sliding drape is a ring tab drape designed mainly for sliding or french door openings. A wooden ring is snapped onto the tab of each drape by a special magic snap system, which allows the drape to slide easily across a wooden pole kit.  This allows the drape to also stack in a tighter position than a normal tab drape or pinch pleated drape.  The Hatteras drape has a casual look that looks great in Coastal Beach homes.  Some common configurations include:

Hatteras Drape Stacked

  • 5′ or 6′ Sliding/French Doors – Consists of a one-way draw, two-width wide fabric panel on a 1 3/8″ diameter fluted wood pole kit.  This configuration fits openings up to 84″ wide.
  • 8′ Sliding Doors – Consists of a one-way draw, three-width wide fabric panel on a 2 1/4″ diameter fluted wood pole kit.  This configuration fits openings 80″ – 120″ wide.
  • 9′ Sliding/French Doors – Consists of two panels that are two-widths wide and split draw on a 1 3/8″ diameter fluted wood pole kit.  This configuration fits openings 96″ – 139″ wide.

The Hatteras Sliding drape has proven the test of time in our intense rental market.  Daniels’ Homeport developed and has manufactured this style of drape over twenty years ago.  Today we sell nearly 2000 of the Hatteras Sliding drapes to the rental and personal homes on the Outer Banks each year.   We stock two colors of Outdura’s Scoop fabric which is a 100% solution dyed acrylic fabric, Birch and White.  The rods are available in nine colors including white, parchment, warm oak, walnut and more.
