Crowd Control, Delivered To You
Stanchion Rental in London
London is the host city for southwestern Ontario, and two institutions set the rhythm: a large university whose ceremonial calendar runs several times a year, and an arena and convention pair downtown that pull touring and association events into the city all year round.

Events we supply in London
Campus work is the most exacting thing we send here. Convocations need a processional route, a platform party approach and arrival queues running at the same time, in buildings where the layout is fixed and the timing is not negotiable. Rope stanchions with a runner mark the route; belt posts carry the arrivals.
Downtown is arena and convention work — concerts, championships, association conferences and the trade programme around them — plus the park and fairground calendar outdoors. Registration and gate lines are belt work; perimeters and spectator separation are barrier.

Delivery to London
London is one of the longer runs we make, which affects scheduling rather than availability. Campus and convention addresses usually come with a dock and a fixed access window; send that window with the enquiry and the whole delivery is planned inside it.
What delivery to London comes to rests on two things: the address and the size of the order. A convocation processional and a full fairground perimeter are the two ends of the range. Send the campus or convention address along with your access window and the run is itemised on the quote.
Book ahead for peak dates — convocation season and the autumn conference programme fill first. Outside those there is no minimum notice, so a date in either is worth sending well ahead.
London questions
Can you supply a convocation and its arrival queues together?
Yes, and it is a good example of an event needing both kinds of equipment at once. Rope stanchions with a runner mark the processional route, and belt stanchions shape the arrival and seating queues outside it. Send the room, the route and the numbers you expect, and the layout is worked out with you.
Do you take orders further into southwestern Ontario?
Yes. The whole province is covered, and anywhere else in Canada by arrangement. Put the event address on the enquiry and it prices exactly like any other — what drives the delivery line is where it goes and how much of it there is.
How far apart do rope posts stand on a processional route?
About 4 ft. The rope measures 5 ft, and that extra foot is the drape — stretched across a full 5 ft it hangs dead straight and stops reading as velvet at all. Count the route in 4 ft spans, and remember a post stands at both ends of every span.
