Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference from retractable belts?
Rope barriers look more premium - typically brass or chrome posts with velvet ropes. Better for hotels, theatres, events. Retractable belts are more practical for high-volume retail.
Do you supply barriers?
Setup only - we position barriers you've purchased or hired. Event hire companies supply the equipment.
Floor-mounted or freestanding?
Both - freestanding posts we position optimally. Floor-mounted posts we can install with appropriate fixings.
Events setup?
Yes - red carpet areas, VIP queues, event entrance management. We set up, you can reconfigure as needed.
