Stanchions for Hire in Vancouver
A stanchion is a weighted post with something spanning the gap to the next one. What spans it is the only real decision.
- Belt stanchions: 8 ft of webbing on a spring in the head, four belts to a post. For a line that changes shape while people are standing in it.
- Rope stanchions: 89 cm posts and 5 ft of velvet on carabiner clips. For a route that stays put and should look considered.
- Barriers: galvanised steel, 3.6 by 6.9 ft, hooked end to end. For outdoors and for a crowd that leans rather than queues.
Finishes
Belt posts come black or silver; rope posts black, silver or gold. Match the post to the room and the span to the job, in that order.
The Parts That Wear
The belt or the rope goes first, never the post. Spares are on retractable belts and velvet ropes. A topper sign goes on the head of the first post where a queue needs explaining.
