Product Description
Create a striking first impression with the vip red carpet package - chrome posts / red ropes hire. This complete entrance setup gives event organisers exactly the right equipment to welcome guests. You receive a 10-metre red carpet runner, creating a substantial walkway for your main entrance. The package includes 16 polished chrome stanchion posts, each featuring a stable, weighted base for security. These posts hold 14 red velour ropes, complete with sturdy chrome clip ends for fast attachment.
VIP Red Carpet Package - Chrome Posts / Red Ropes Hire Setup
Setting up this entrance requires minimal effort. Position the chrome posts approximately 1.5 metres apart. This spacing allows the velour ropes to hang with a pleasing drape, guiding your guests along the designated path. Hook the chrome ends of the ropes onto the rings located on each post. A quick twist of the latch secures the rope in place. Lay out your carpet runner first. This serves as your guide for aligning the posts accurately.
