A rope and stanchion line is one of the easiest ways for you to establish order and keep people happy at an event or in your business. People don’t deal well with ambiguity. When you set up stanchions that demarcate a route and have a clearly marked beginning and end, you give people the knowledge they need to do what you want them to do. At VIP Crowd Control, Inc., we have seen how happy people are to stand in one of these lines because there is no confusion about who’s first. What type of rope and stanchion setup do you need?
Heavy Metal
Metal stanchions are the gold standard of stanchions. They add class to any affair and represent the stability of an organization. Metal stanchions are also steeped in tradition as metal was the first material used in stanchions. When people see these stanchions, they know that your event or organization is planning on sticking around. It’s best not to leave the metal out in the rain or other wet weather, though.

A retractable belt stanchion is the newest type of stanchion. These stanchions are generally a mid-level between metal and plastic, at least as far as weight is concerned. Because the ropes are retractable, these stanchions are easy to store and easier to move than metal stanchions. They are also easier to use; you don’t have to worry about losing the ropes. Since there is only one side that the ropes attach to, they are a little less work to set up.
Laughing Plastic
Plastic rope stanchions are fantastic! If you need a lightweight, durable stanchion that can stand up to the weather without having to worry about rust, plastic is the way to go. These stanchions come in a variety of colors and can liven up any event. They are also easy to clean. Regardless of your choice, rope and stanchion setups can help you maintain order and add to people’s perception of your event or business.
