Using Rope Stands For Fairs and Festivals

Now that summer is here, there are going to be a lot of events planned like festivals and fairs. Rope stands will probably be the most valuable piece of equipment to control crowds, ticket lines, and food and game lines.

It’s a good investment for those who plan to hold annual events because these types of crowd control equipment will not require a lot of maintenance yet still manage to avoid early wear and tear. In short, you can use rope stands for years.

Here are a few ideas on how to use rope stands:

It can used like a fence around the perimeter of your venue. It’s not as harsh as fencing in the area and you get good ventilation passing through. This is only possible if your fair has free entrance and sufficient security to prevent people from jumping over the barriers.

If you have games, you can use the rope stands as an accessory for the games. Separate teams with rope stands or let it serve as the border between the game stand and the contestant (for shooting or throwing games).

Everyone in open air events like these will want to eat, drink, and be happy. Using these rope stands to help food servers attend to customers on a first-come, first-serve basis makes it easier for all parties.


Naturally, these types of line dividers would be great at ticket lines, entrance and exit points. In case of an emergency, it would easy to push the rope stands aside to let people stream out faster and without injuring themselves in the rush.
