Stanchions design

Stanchions. We’ve covered places clubs and evening venues- and to add to that, we’ll continue on as we’ve found other interesting products that are worth mentioning. An innovative product that we have seen on the market is a crowd barrier that acts as a crowd barrier and at the same time, has an ashtray built into the pole. The pole itself has been manufactured to contain the cigarette butts and the canister that contains them is easily removed after each night. They are manufactured as free standing stanchions and also as wall mounted stanchions, where barrier ropes can be linked to the wall unit and to a free standing rope barrier. It means that people standing in line who are most likely to be smoking can now place their butts in an ashtray right next to them in line. This is a queue management system that has been carefully thought out which is a viable product for all the nightclub owners. If you consider that most nightclubs have crowd barriers in place and that there is no smoking permitted in indoor areas, this type of crowd barrier is a great addition to any club. People who enter will often go outside for a cigarette and are likely to throw their butts on the ground, but with the stanchions with built in ashtrays in place, we should be seeing products like this more often outside clubs.

We have also found some other great crowd barriers. These stanchions below feature a stainless steel pole and stainless steel barrier ropes. These crowd control barriers have a modern look to them and would be a great addition for outdoor use. The company also features an outdoor crowd barrier that’s been designed to withstand everyday use and if it were to become separated from the ground, it will be the hidden ground fixing that will break- meaning your brick work or cobble stone is protected from being damaged. Another great crowd barrier idea.

Stanchions

We've seen queue stanchions or crowd barriers being used in front of venues that allow patrons in and out of venues. But there are are also ways to use stanchions to keep people within areas. Take for example marquees or cafes. Often there will be an area that is closed off to people and only allowing certain patrons into an allocated area. IN doing this, there is better crowd control management. Patrons are able to know that they have exclusive access to an area and not have to mix in with the general public. Many major events that are outdoors often use the crowd barriers in a bid to close off general public access when they need to create a VIP area.

Other outdoor areas that make use of crowd barriers are cafes and restaurants. We've spotted cafes such as the one below, using the stanchion together with signage. This allows the restaurant to advertise and close off the area for the patrons. It creates a new space for them and also creates a fence or barrier where tables and chairs are placed and don't get "lost" out on the footpath. Together with umbrellas or overhead heaters, it also creates "housing" for the patrons outside.

In addition, the barrier with advertising stops other people from walking into, walking through or sitting down in the area as they are able to recognise that the stanchions indicate that this is part of the cafe. Advertising through placing stanchions can really work in your favour and it simply means that you can hold more customers at your shop.

You will find that many people will enjoy being outdoors as it provides an area for them to smoke and will also allow the public to view how popular the venue may be. Self promotion through a stanchion could be the best thing you ever provided for your business and customers.
