Rope Barrier System (Post)

<p>Although the link between hot air balloons and crowd control barriers might not seem obvious, it&rsquo;s believed that one helped invent the other. These days it&rsquo;s very common to see many different kinds of barriers to assist crowd management. Our furniture hire London warehouses are stocked with a variety of products whose invention can be traced back to the 1800s.</p>
<h2>What do barriers and balloons have in common?</h2>
<p>In the 1860s, lots of people in France would have heard of Nadar - in fact his name is still in use today in relation to crowd control barriers. But in the 19th Century, he was very well known for being a talented photographer, caricaturist and writer. As well as being involved in the arts via these careers, he also had a love of ballooning, and took to the skies several times in the aptly named Le Geant - which translates as the Giant.</p>
<h2>Nadar still on the radar</h2>
<p>During the early part of the 1860s, Nadar decided to visit Brussels - from the air! In order to make sure spectators stayed out of the path of the descending balloon, the photographer set up some barriers, coining the term Nadar Barriers, which is still used in Dutch and French Belgian. Soon after this, more and more crowd control measures were used at larger events, for the same reasons they&rsquo;re used today, including defining areas for waiting/standing and to show clear routes of exit and entry.</p>
<h2>Crowd control posts take off</h2>
<p>In the 20th Century, crowd management products were&nbsp; increasingly made from metal, rather than wood. The wooden variety were produced in greater numbers in the mid to late 1900s, and around 1951, interlocking steel barriers hit the market and demand rose for those made from stronger materials. In the 1960s and into the 1980s, barriers started to become a more common site in different locations, from the Olympic Games, to Airports and at Concerts too.</p>
<h2>Barriers for any size events</h2>
<p>Designs also changed to suit both large and small venues, and stretch barriers were unique in that they could be used in locations of any size. Our range of posts are this versatile, with some being installed at huge sporting events, while other clients have chosen to hire a small selection for exclusive nightclub events for example. Our rope barriers look very glamorous, and because of this, they&rsquo;re often a top choice for those red carpet events, or when you want to add some glitz to your venue.</p>
<h2>Get your venue red carpet ready</h2>
<p>As a crowd control product, they can define those areas where guests can stand, or where they should queue. The rope clips smoothly and quickly on to the post, so when they&rsquo;re used for entry/exits, they can be connected/disconnected in seconds. We have many of these in stock, so they&rsquo;re perfect for those large events, including televised shows, red carpet parties, nightclubs, and private parties. As well as defining where guests can go, these barriers also highlight areas where visitors should refrain from walking or standing. This is very useful during exhibitions, or in galleries and museums where you&rsquo;d like to cordon off exhibits.</p>
<h2>Up-market&hellip; and affordable</h2>
<p>An important part of our rope barrier&rsquo;s appeal, is that is has a very up-market look. This is because of the rich red rope, combined with our chrome post. These add a celebrity and VIP look to any occasion and can be matched with lots of other products from our range to up the glamour factor at your event. For example, they look great twinned with our chrome poseur tables and range of stools. Installed around a red carpet they allow you to create spectacular entrances for all your guests at any event - even those involving hot air balloons.</p>

<p>For ultimate glitz and glamour at your event, you can install our rope barrier post, as this lets you define VIP areas, create stylish introduction to venues, and cordon off special exhibits or products. Combine with our red ropes for a really luxurious look great for those premium events, like award shows and red carpet events.<br /><br /></p>

<h2>Get Red Rope Barriers For That Exclusive Look</h2>
<p>Crowd management has been a technique to keep people safe and events running smoothly since people first began to gather in groups, but the barriers that help this process only became invented in the last two hundred years. We have a fantastic modern and stylish range on offer for those premium occasions.</p>
<h3>French fancy!</h3>
<p>Many people thank a French photographer for the creation of posts that were designed to keep spectators, visitors and guests in defined areas. Called Nadar, the inventor pursued many hobbies, which included drawing caricatures, writing novels and piloting hot air balloons!</p>
<h3>Not all hot air</h3>
<p>It might seem a very varied mixture of activities, but he was known for all of these pastimes, as well as the creator of the first crowd control barriers in 1864. These days, crowd management is often a necessity when it comes to events, with some companies bound to hire these kinds of products whether their occasion is large or on the smaller side. <br /><br />Nadar wasn&rsquo;t bound by regulations like many companies are today, he just decided to erect some barriers when he flew his Le Geant - translates as the giant - balloon to Brussels to reduce the chance of accidents. As the name suggests this was a very large balloon, measuring 6,000 metres cubed. To make sure that visitors to the landing site didn&rsquo;t stray into its path when landing he erected some mobile barriers.</p>
<h3>Barriers&hellip; wherever you need them!</h3>
<p>This was a major turning point for crowd control, because not only did he show how useful crowd management can be, but he created a product that was mobile. The features of his invention caught on with lots of companies and organisation, and the fact that they&rsquo;re still referred to as Nadar Barriers in some parts of the world show what a landmark creation he came up with. In time, the products moved from being made to wood, to metal, and their sturdiness and reliability ensured they were installed across many venues and events, from the Olympics, to airports and many more locations.</p>
<h3>Move them, store them, install them - with ease</h3>
<p>Because Nadar&rsquo;s and later inventions were mobile, it meant that barriers became a lot more practical for a range of clients. In fact, this benefit is still valued today, with our customers regularly ordering lots of our stretch barriers and ropes and poles from our furniture hire London stocks. Our product line is designed with full mobility in mind, and they can be easily moved in locations, so you can create the perfect crowd management system for your needs. In the 1860s, Nadar used his barriers to keep visitors safe, and this is still a common use for them today.</p>
<h3>One-clip crowd management?</h3>
<p>When large crowds are expected at your event, our barriers can be used to highlight zones where they ought to stand and keep them out of the paths of any dangers - including hot air balloons! Our ropes and poles are also fantastic when you&rsquo;d like really smooth crowd management, as you can place them in parallel lines for queuing. Another great feature of our furniture hire London ropes and poles, is that they are ideal for when you&rsquo;re operating one-in one-out systems. The clip integrated to the red rope unfastens and fastens in just a few seconds, so guests are emitted smoothly and quickly.</p>
<h3>Smooth style</h3>
<p>As well as assisting with entry and exit of visitors, our red ropes and poles look fantastic too. The chrome post is stylish, while the braided rope adds a deluxe element to the whole ensemble. Although these furniture hire London products look very elegant, you can trust them to be very robust too. This is down to the sturdy post, which keeps the product very steady, without making it difficult to move the item. Because of the stylish appearance of our red ropes and poles, they&rsquo;re often chosen from our furniture hire London range for red carpet, VIP and celebrity events. We also have <a href="https://www.onlinefurniturehire.com/products/chrome-stretch-barrier">chrome</a> or <a href="https://www.onlinefurniturehire.com/products/black-stretch-barrier">black stretch barriers</a>.<br /><br /></p>

1830mm Rectangular Trestle Table

1830mm / 6ft Rectangular Banquet Table

<h2>Lighter, and very cost effective</h2>
<p>Tables and food have gone together since the beginning of time, and when you&rsquo;d like to order a modern, convenient and affordable product for your formal dinner, corporate occasion, wedding or any other function featuring food, our 1830mm rectangular banqueting table is ideal.</p>
<h3>Modern materials</h3>
<p>This very modern product is just what many of our London clients, and those based beyond the capital require, being easy to set up, lighter to lift and offering an unfinished surface for linens, which we also stock. But how has the simple table come so far? Well, like many industries, inventors try their best to produce items that appeal to the current market. Only limited by tools and materials available, past designers have launched many opulent and beautiful tables, a major feat in distant times when there was fewer metals and wood varieties available.</p>
<h3>Marvellous materials</h3>
<p>In the table&rsquo;s very early days, it&rsquo;s likely that they were simply made from stone, and some experts believe the Ancient Egyptians fashioned rocks into platforms specifically to prevented food from becoming contaminated. Romans and Greeks used marble and metals for their tables, showing how older designs could be very opulent indeed.</p>
<p>The average home and business were unlikely to afford these kinds of sumptuous tables, but over the years they became very important in all spheres of life, and different shapes were produced to make the simple table even more versatile, from those that fold, to those that were higher and smaller, like work tables.</p>
<h3>Add linens for a very chic look</h3>
<p>Although our 1830mm banquet table hire range can be dressed using our linen hire range to create wonderfully chic and beautifully stylish venues, a more basic version of trestle tables has existed since the Middle Ages! They were further developed in the 16th Century to become more robust, while the 17th Century saw longer, rectangular refectory tables becoming popular.</p>
<h3>Sumptuous seating for eight!</h3>
<p>Our modern day equivalent offers all the convenience and practicality of a table made in the 21st Century. Seating up to eight people, this product is simple to install and is very cost effective. You can join them together for longer eating surfaces and dress them with our deluxe table cloths and napkins. We also have matching chair covers available, which slip neatly over our banqueting chairs for really sophisticated event venues.</p>
<h3>Secrets of our tables revealed...</h3>
<p>And here&rsquo;s a little secret... This product line is not only fantastic for dining occasions, but many other events where you need steady and stylish tables, from product launches to exhibitions and meetings! We also have <a href="https://www.onlinefurniturehire.com/products/1220mm-banquet-table-rectangular">1220mm</a> rectangular tables available and a range of circular trestle tables too.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>

<p>Steady, sturdy and easy to fold, our rectangular banquet table is perfectly suited to many different kinds of event, from dining occasions, to conferences, exhibitions and more. You can also hire our linens to add a really decadent look to our tables.</p>

Chrome Bistro Table

680mm Black Round Bistro Table

<h2>Continental Ambiance That's Also Affordable!</h2>
<p>Although many of us associate bistro tables with restaurants and outdoor dining, they were actually first used in homes!</p>
<p>Bistros are a kind of French dining establishment, that feature delicious homestyle meals in informal surroundings, but they&rsquo;re believed to have evolved from kitchens that were set up in private housing, but open to the public - much like today&rsquo;s residential pop-up restaurants.</p>
<h3>Open house</h3>
<p>Opening up your own home in Paris to members of the public willing to pay for your food was a way landlords could earn more money from guests and other visitors. These kitchens probably served just tenants initially, but expanded to then welcome in passer-bys who wanted to visit for some tasty home cooked dinners. When homeowners food began to attract acclaim then householders would have felt more confident setting up proper businesses and opening premises as official restaurants and bistros.</p>
<h3>On a smaller scale</h3>
<p>Even when homeowners were just serving tenants, they would have had to make sure they had all the furniture necessary to seat their guests. In order to accommodate more people, it makes sense that smaller tables and chairs were set up in homes, so there was room for those boarding and people passing by who wanted to tuck into the gastronomic delights served up by householders. As a result, bistro-type furniture became popular, and often featured smaller table and chairs that were also more lightweight so they could be easily rearranged in homes to suit different-sized groups of diners.</p>
<h3>Updating the traditional</h3>
<p>Our chrome bistro table has all of these functional attributes - and more! The round shape is perfect for groups and is also small enough for lone diners and couples. Being made from aluminium, our chrome bistro table is exceptionally lightweight, so it&rsquo;s easy to move within venues. In addition to incorporating all these traditional aspects of some of the first kinds of bistro furniture ranges, our products also have some important modern day benefits.</p>
<h3>Utilise your space</h3>
<p>The chrome finish of our bistro tables are weather resistant, so you&rsquo;re free to use them outside with confidence. Following bad weather, such as rainy spells, all that&rsquo;s needed is a wipe with a dry cloth and they&rsquo;re ready for use again. This is a great benefit when you&rsquo;d like to make the most of the available space on your premises. Our entire chrome range gives you the tools to turn under-utilised areas into fully functional, modern looking dining areas. They&rsquo;re a fantastic addition to outdoor events too, you&rsquo;re able to use our chrome tables to create stylish reception areas.</p>
<h3>Check out our chic range</h3>
<p>The appearance of our chrome bistro tables is another great benefit, and gives any London location an updated and contemporary look. The chic aluminium look is found on several of our furniture hire ranges so you can not only provide sophisticated <a href="https://www.onlinefurniturehire.com/products/poseur-table-chrome">poseur</a> and bistro tables, but also seating, including our stools, like our <a href="https://www.onlinefurniturehire.com/products/bar-stool-aluminium">high aluminium bar stool</a>. Although the original bistro tables were used in outlets serving food, our range is very versatile and we not only deliver them to lots of different dining locations, but other premises too.</p>
<h3>Stylish zoning</h3>
<p>They are popular choice for companies that want to set up stylish in-door break areas, giving colleagues somewhere to enjoy snacks, read magazines/newspapers or just chat with other workers while on their breaks. Our chrome range is also a top choice at corporate functions, such as networking events and conferences, or where you&rsquo;d like to include zones in your events for breakout meetings or similar activities.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>

<p>Dining outdoors doesn&rsquo;t mean you have to compromise on style, price or design. Our chrome bistro table has a very modern chrome finish that&rsquo;s weather resistant, as well as very chic looking. In fact, this is popular both indoors and outdoors with many of our customers, being chosen for internal and external areas in marquee events, receptions, bars, bistros, cafes and many more locations.</p>
