Here are our top three reasons as to why renting ropes and stanchions in London is a smart choice for your next event!
One of the primary reasons to choose post and rope hire London is for managing the movement of guests and controlling traffic flow at events. Whether you’re hosting a small private party, a corporate event or a large public gathering, maintaining order without disrupting the look and feel of your venue is crucial.
This is where poles and ropes come to live – indeed, they actually help to enhance the look at your venue, rather than distract from it, as well as providing a necessary function at the same time! Unlike unsightly barricades or clunky barriers, stanchions and ropes provide a stylish and unobtrusive way to direct guests while keeping the look of your event sophisticated.
For queue management, temporary post and rope systems can be set up in flexible formations to manage the flow of people as needed. For example, you can create serpentine-style lines at registration desks, where you expect high foot traffic, or create clear pathways at the event entrance.
Stanchions and ropes are available in a variety of materials and designs, allowing you to choose a style that complements the theme of your event. You can rent ropes and stanchions in London from Event Hire UK in a variety of styles, including polished chrome and gold, along with plush ropes in red, blue or black.

It’s attention to detail such as this which makes Event Hire UK the best post and rope hire London company.
May events of a corporate nature involve showcasing a product that you might not want visitors to touch. Imagine a trade show or exhibition, for instance, where you are showcasing the latest brand-new model of car in your range, or perhaps you are holding a pop-up art gallery and don’t want people to approach a particular work of art too closely. Post and rope hire London is perfect for these types of settings!
The short term hire of poles and ropes are a great way of achieving this, but still in a professional manner. OK, so they are not barriers in the true sense of the world, but they still give off the vibe of ‘do not pass’, but in a more friendly and suggestive tone. And what about sports clubs that are holding a special match, testimonial game or other event where they want to create a VIP-only area. What better way to achieve this than with post and rope hire London.
If you have already made the decision to hire ropes and posts for your upcoming event or occasion, then perhaps a good start point might be to work out the length of run that you need your stanchion poles and ropes to cover, and then work out how many you need.
We can tell you that each rope is approx 1.5m in length, though you will need to assume that each rope only covers about 1m, as we’re sure that you will want the classic ‘drop’ in the middle, rather than a straight line, taut rope that would look very odd. And remember, you will need a post at each end. Typically, therefore, you will always need one more post than you need ropes! Post and rope hire London has never been easier!

They are flexible, can be easily re-positioned during an event if you need to, and are certainly an affordable option. They can also be used outdoors for short periods of time if that’s the type of event you are holding.
