| Employing the Best Mix of Stanchions to Manage the Flow of Your Venue | A venue is managed more effectively with the use of flowing, attractive stanchions. Stanchions are used around the world at some of the most exclusive and prestigious venues, events, and facilities.
A stanchion of high-quality and fine attention to detail can increase both the visual appeal and functionality of a venue. Stanchions can be purchased in several different handsome post finishes and eye-appealing tape colors, which are great for complementing your venue's existing decor. A contemporary stanchion is perfect for a venue that requires a sleek and sophisticated decor, whereas the standard stanchion provides high-quality functionality for any type of venue.
You have several options when it comes to choosing the right stanchion for your venue. For permanent fixtures, there are wall mount automatic retractable belt systems and fixed retractable belts. On the other hand, if your traffic flow needs are ever changing, you may want to consider the portable retractable belt post or removable retractable belt stanchion. For those on a budget, you always have the choice of plastic stanchions, chains, and posts.
Two Popular Types of Stanchions
The most popular type of stanchion is comprised of retractable belts. Within these options, you have several choices, depending upon your specific needs. You can purchase a stanchion that has a slow-retracting braking mechanism, which ensures the tape retracts safely and slowly upon release. Or, you also have the option of a pricier stanchion that has a locking mechanism. This prevents the accidental release of the stanchion’s tape. This option presents convenience and safety, especially if the tape is accidentally released by an attendee.
Stanchion Sizing
Stanchions are generally available in lengths ranging from seven feet to 13 feet. However, if you are looking to manage traffic in a very large venue, you may want to consider the extra-long 15 foot stanchion. A 15 foot stanchion comes equipped with a universal connector that can be used with any type of stanchion. A 15 foot stanchion is designed to create a line in any possible direction with a special three-way adapter that is already built in. This is the perfect type of stanchion for arena ticket lines, a stadium, or when you need heavy-duty line control.
Of course, you always have the option of purchasing custom stanchions made to fit a uniquely-shaped venue.
