Post & Rope Barriers
Combining Elegance and Functionality
Post & Rope barriers serve the same purpose as retractable belt barriers, whether it's forming waiting lines or restricting access. However, unlike the functional appearance of belt stanchions, rope stanchions provide an elegant and sophisticated look. While rope stanchions are not retractable, the ropes are equipped with snap ends, making them easy to detach and store. These stanchions feature rope attachment loops that allow ropes to be attached from any direction, enabling the creation of barriers in a variety of shapes.
Key Features of Post & Rope Barriers
Post & Rope Barriers are ideal for events that require a touch of elegance, such as weddings, galas, or premieres. We offer a range of options for your stanchions to suit your venue's application or decor. Let's explore the key features and options available:
Finials (Stanchion Tops)
The finial is a defining element of the stanchion that sets its look apart. Whether you prefer a contemporary or traditional style, we offer a selection of finials for every occasion:
Flat: Provides a contemporary look and is ideal for adding a touch of traditional style to modern settings. Crown: The classic crown top is instantly recognizable from numerous red carpet events worldwide. Ball: Reserved for our most prestigious stanchions, the ball top is the finial of choice for the most sophisticated environments.Bases
There are multiple base types to choose from, that can be used in different circumstances. The choice depends on the aesthetic preferences and needed uses:
Profile: The profile base features a sleek and modern design, making it our most popular base for rope stanchions. Made from cast iron with a rubber floor protector to prevent scuffing expensive floors, this base comes with a decorative cover that matches the post finish. Fixed Base: The fixed base offers exceptional stability by securely bolting the stanchion to the ground. It minimizes tripping hazards and is the recommended choice for installations where the posts will remain in place permanently. Removable Base: For a flexible solution that combines stability with the ability to remove the stanchion as needed, the removable base is an innovative choice. The removable base stanchion is used with a socket that is set into the floor. Inserting the stanchion into a floor socket provides the same stability as a fixed base while allowing for occasional removal. This option is particularly suitable for permanent queue setups that may require the stanchions to be removed from time to time.Finish Options
As post & rope barriers are often the preferred choice for queue management in sophisticated environments their appearance is particularly important. For this reason we have developed the widest range of stock metal finishes available. Here is an overview of the finish options we offer from stock, we also have the ability to supply over 200 custom powder coat colours and multiple custom finishes:
Black: The ubiquitous powder coat option that suits a wide range of decors, providing a practical and versatile choice for any queue. Polished Stainless Steel: With a shiny mirror finish, polished stainless steel is a popular finish option. It is highly durable, rust and scratch-resistant and lends a glamorous look to any venue. Satin Stainless Steel: : A brushing process is used to give the stainless steel a matte finish. This finish offers a more subdued look, adding sophistication to any environment. Polished Brass: : The most traditional finish, polished brass is commonly associated with rope stanchions. It is an excellent choice for any occasion, particularly suitable for more formal venues.Rope Options
The choice of rope is just as important as the stanchion when aiming to match a specific decor or create a desired look. We offer four types of rope, each available in multiple colours:
Velour (Velvet): The most popular choice for stanchion rope. Our velour ropes come in two standards, premium and economy. Our premium velour ropes have a cotton core, ensuring a smooth and even drape, and are available in 3 colours. The economy velour ropes are foam filled with a chain in the core to ensure the rope drapes and are available in 4 colours. Braid: : A soft and tactile rope with a slim 25mm diameter. Braid ropes are available in four colours and are favoured for use in churches, libraries, and casinos. Natural Jute: : Designed for outdoor use, natural jute ropes are water resistant, allowing for permanent outdoor placement.Traditional post and rope stanchions are still considered the most sophisticated choice for crowd control and customer guidance barriers.
