What Are Stanchions?

Stanchions are a simple yet effective tool that is often utilized for crowd control purposes. They are essentially a series of posts that come with ropes or retractable belts attached to them to form a barrier. These barriers are commonly used to manage crowds around exhibits or to demarcate the boundaries of a checkout line. While ropes are traditionally made from velvet or cotton, velour is also used for the same purpose, as it is more cost-effective in production.

Different Types of Stanchions

Classic Post and Rope Stanchions

A Post and rope stanchions are a popular choice for crowd control. They consist of a simple stanchion post with loops at the top where stanchion ropes can be clipped into place, connecting one post to another. This creates a simple yet elegant barricade that can be easily moved and set up. The stanchion post can be customized to match the interior design of the space where it will be used.

Classic post and velvet rope stanchion barrier kits often include a polished stanchion post with a decorative finial on the top and a sturdy velvet rope draped between a pair of matching posts. The stanchion ropes are designed with sturdy cores that allow the velvet ropes to drape in a smooth arc. These ropes come in a variety of colors and materials, not just velvet, and in a variety of lengths to accommodate different spacing preferences.

Classic stanchion posts are available in a neutral black color, but polished finishes such as polished brass and polished silver are more commonly used. Decorative finial tops can make these posts even more reminiscent of classic red carpet events. These classic stanchion posts contribute to an elegant VIP look.

In summary, classic post and rope stanchions are a simple yet effective solution for crowd control and maintaining an elegant aesthetic. Their customizable features, sturdy construction and a wide variety of colors and materials make them a versatile choice for any interior design. The polished finishes and decorative finial tops add a touch of sophistication and glamour to any event.

 

Retractable Belt Barrier Stanchions

Retractable belt barrier stanchions are a highly versatile and practical crowd control tool, featuring built-in belts that can be extended or retracted as required. These stanchion posts typically feature belt receivers at the top that can be used to clip a neighboring post's belt into place, thereby eliminating the need for stanchion ropes. Retractable belt barrier stanchions are commonly employed in a range of public settings, including airports, shopping malls, and bus stations.

One of the primary advantages of retractable belt barrier stanchions is their ease of use and versatility. The retracting belt contains no slack, making it ideal for use in even complex line formations. These belts are available in a range of lengths, colors, and widths and can even be ordered as custom-printed belt barriers with bespoke messages or branding. This feature is particularly useful in situations where crowd control instructions need to be conveyed, such as "Line Starts Here" or "Do Not Enter." The use of such instructions can further contribute to crowd organization. Logos can also be incorporated into the design of these belt barriers, which is particularly helpful in instances where travelers are searching for the ticketing line for a specific airline.

Retractable belt barriers can also be equipped with secondary belts positioned closer to the ground. These dual belt stanchions are designed to comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), which requires barriers to be situated at a specific proximity to the floor to allow for their detection by canes. This design feature reinforces the barrier, making it more challenging for individuals to duck underneath and bypass the intended barrier.

Here are some frequently asked stanchion questions:

 

Q: Can I add signs to my stanchions?
A: Yes. A regular belt stanchion sign frame or topper will come with mounting cup attached. This will slip over the top the tube where the belt cassette is located. A traditional rope stanchion will need to be tapped or threaded. This is typically done when the posts are being ordered. If you alreayd have the posts, we may be able to supply you with a new top which would have the threads in it. You would order a sign frame which just has a threaded post to screw into the top of your post. Only flat top or crown top posts can have a threaded or tapped post top.

 

Q: How many posts do I get when I order?
A: Any item being ordered would be a quantity of one unless you are purchasing a bundle / kit of products. If you are ordering a bundle, it will specifically say a quantity  of example: "12 stanchions and 1 cart"


Q: How far apart should I space my stanchions?
A: When using a 6 foot long rope, your stanchion posts should be spaced out about 5.5 foot apart. 5 or 6 inches of slack in a 6 foot rope should allow a natural looking drape effect. For a belt stanchion, you will want to leave 6 inches to 1 foot of belt in the head of the post. When using a 11 foot belt, you would space the posts 10 foot to 10 foot 6 inches a part. This will give you a good idea of how many stanchions you need for each run of stanchions.


Q: What accessories may I need for my stanchions? 
A: Many customers like to use a stanchion cart for storing or moving their posts. Both rope stanchions and belt stanchions can use a receiving clip / receiving loop, when using a fixe / temporary structure to start a line. A rope could also use two receiving loops to be hung in an opening and not use a post. Sign frames or sign toppers are a great way to provide directional messages or branding for sponsorships.
