Product Description
VIP Red Carpet Package – Chrome Posts & Blue Ropes
Expo Hire provides a complete VIP entrance solution with our Red Carpet Package. This hire includes 10 metres of vibrant red carpet, designed to create an immediate sense of occasion. Accompanying the carpet are 16 polished chrome stanchion posts, each fitted with a solid, weighted base for stability. These posts support 14 lengths of luxurious blue velour rope, each tipped with a polished chrome clip for easy attachment.
This package is ideal for defining a clear pathway and managing guest flow at high-profile events. The combination of the striking red carpet and the elegant chrome and blue rope barriers creates a sophisticated atmosphere, signalling a special entrance for your guests.
Ideal for a Range of Events
- Create a memorable red carpet arrival for film premieres, award ceremonies, and gala dinners.
- Make a grand statement for retail showroom openings, automotive launches, and product unveilings.
- Structure guest entry and create a sense of exclusivity for charity fundraisers and corporate events.
- Guide attendees and manage queues at conferences and VIP networking receptions.
Setup and Use
Setting up the VIP Red Carpet Package is straightforward. Position the chrome posts at approximately 1.5-metre intervals along the desired length of your red carpet. The weighted bases provide stability on flat, level surfaces. Attach the blue velour ropes by clipping the chrome ends directly into the eyelets located at the top of each post. Ensure the bases are aligned to avoid any tripping hazards for your guests.
Rope Barrier Hire Options
There are many different styles of barrier hire, which work for a number of different spaces and setups. We have three main types available which are ropes and posts, tensabarriers and picket fences.
Rope and post barrier hire is often used for events where a VIP space needs to be sectioned off, for example a red carpet entrance area. While the ropes and posts cordon off space, they are more for decorative value than any kind of security.
We offer rope barrier hire in a multitude of colours, as well as both chrome and gold-coloured metal posts. Ropes have a clip at each end to allow them to be attached to posts. These clips can also be in chrome and gold-coloured configurations.

Tensabarriers don’t have quite the same VIP look like ropes and posts do but are a bit more secure and are great for constructing queueing areas. Each tensabarrier post comes with a 2m retractable tape which can be attached to another tensabarrier, which can quickly be put together to section off space.
Our picket fences for hire are a great decorative way of sectioning space into areas and are particularly useful for big festivals and exhibitions. Our fences are painted white and are free-standing in supplied “feet” but cannot be linked to each other.

Frequently Asked Questions
- How many posts do I need for my carpet?
You should place posts at 1.5-metre intervals. For example, a 4-metre carpet requires six posts and four ropes to create a complete barrier on both sides.
- Can these posts be used outdoors?
These posts are suitable for use on flat, level ground only. Avoid using them on soft grass or uneven surfaces, as the weighted bases may become unstable.
- What is the total length of the rope provided?
Each blue velour rope measures 1.5 metres in length. You can calculate your total required rope length based on your carpet size and the number of post intervals you create.
- Do the posts feature a retractable belt system?
These specific posts use fixed chrome eyelets designed for velour ropes only. They do not contain retractable webbing tapes.
