It’s fair to say that almost any and every equipment hire company in the UK will have barrier post and rope hire in their inventory. Poles and ropes are a staple piece of hire equipment, and have been for many years, bringing that sense of style and luxury to your event, in an affordable way.
Every guest or visitor attending your event will want to feel special and welcome, and achieving this overall impression has to be implemented from the very first point of them entering your event venue (and, even better, outside the venue).
This can be anything from hiring and positioning a reception counter in your hospitality chalet reception area, through to hiring and positioning posts and ropes at the doorway of the venue. It provides your guests with a focal point when they arrive, and – in this instance – a real VIP appearance!
In today’s blog article, we’re having a look at what types of events benefit from rope and post hire, and where this could be used, so let’s crack on…
These sorts of corporate hospitality events are always in need of barrier post and rope hire, as they are all about the experience. Making the event memorable is top of the priority list, and even though poles and ropes play just a tiny part in achieving the overall desired effect, the impact vs cost ratio is awesome!
Especially at large arena Christmas parties, for instance, where you are catering for a couple of thousand people each night, the vast majority of guests arrive within a very short timeframe. They might need to be searched, or queue for the cloakroom to drop their coats and bags, for example.
If this is the case, then barrier post and rope hire is perfect to guide your guests to where they need to be. OK, so they are not barriers in the true sense of the word in that they wouldn’t be any good at holding people back, but certainly in terms of queue management – whilst also projecting that feel-good factor – barrier post and rope hire is the obvious choice.
These types of shows are classic examples of where post & rope hire is always needed. You might want to hire posts and ropes to define the area of your exhibition stand, or you might have a specific area on your exhibition stand or within your exhibition venue where you are showcasing a large product, and you don’t want visitors to approach it or touch it due to its value, for example. If this is the case, then posts and ropes are a great way to section off these types of areas.
It’s easy to picture where poles and ropes for hire will be useful for fashion shows and clothes shows, for instance. Imagine the catwalk, which you don’t want people to approach, but is lined with rows of chairs for your visitors. Posts and ropes for rent are ‘barriers’ which help to define an area, but which don’t obstruct the view – perfect, then, for fashion shows!
Many product launches such as the new iPhone, a new model of luxury car or the introduction of a new luxury watch always attracts significant interest from the media and the public alike, so why not employ barrier post and rope hire to section off where you DON’T want people to go, or use them as queue management barriers outside your shop or venue, again helping to guide people to where you want them to go.
There’s no better event than a wedding where you want the feel-good factor to be in abundance, and so make your wedding guests feel super-special in the entrance to your wedding venue with barrier post and rope hire. Red ropes give that VIP look and feel, and it will certainly help to set the tone for your wedding party – it’s time to get the celebrations going!
You’ll find barrier posts and ropes for hire in our event accessories section. The posts are available in either polished chrome or gold. We offer a variety of different coloured ropes for you to choose from, including red, black and blue, all of which are available with either chrome ends or gold ends, to suit the posts you want to attach them to.
You might now be wondering how to calculate how many posts and ropes you need to stretch across a certain length span. With this in mind, this info will help you – each rope is 1.5m in length when pulled straight. However, you won’t want the ropes to be stretched straight in between each pole, you’ll want a slight dip in it. Therefore, you can assume that each rope will cover 1m in length, suspended between two poles. That should be sufficient info for you to do the maths!
