Rental Solution for Crowd Control
Stanchion Rental in Antigonish
Antigonish keeps two calendars going at once. A university fills the town through the academic year with convocations, conferences and athletics, and in the summer the Highland Games turn the same few streets and fields into a spectator event with a century of habit behind it. Neither one is a small order.

Events we supply in Antigonish
Games week is a perimeter job on open ground: heavy events with a throwing area that must be kept clear, a dancing and piping programme with an audience pressed against it, a parade through the town, and gates that volunteers open and close all day. Barrier does every part of that, and the run is drawn from the field plan rather than the attendance figure.
The campus year is the other half and it is mostly arrivals. Convocation, orientation weekends, conferences, athletics and the performing-arts programme all need a queue shaped at a door and, on the formal occasions, a processional route that photographs properly. Belt stanchions handle the first; rope stanchions and a runner handle the second.

Delivery to Antigonish
Antigonish is a run east along the highway and the campus addresses are easy ones with a dock and a booked window. The Games grounds are the opposite kind of problem: an open field with the layout set by the events on it, so send the field plan with the competition areas, the spectator lines and the gates marked, and the run is worked out from that.
What delivery to Antigonish comes to rests on two things: the address and the size of the order. A convocation queue and a full Games perimeter with gated access are the two ends of what gets quoted here. Give us both addresses and the order you want them served in, and the routing goes on the quote.
Book ahead for peak dates — Games week and the spring convocation dates are the two that fill first. Outside those there is no minimum notice, and the academic calendar either side of them is generally open.
Antigonish questions
How do you keep a throwing area clear?
With a continuous run rather than a marked line, because a rope on the ground is a suggestion and a barrier is not. Sections interlock and stand unaided, which is what holds a line steady on grass with a crowd leaning on it. Send the field plan with the competition areas marked and the count comes back with the quote.
Can gates be opened and closed through the day?
As often as the event needs. Sections interlock rather than bolt together, so a gap opens and closes by hand and needs no tools and no crew. Tell us where you want the openings and the run is designed around them rather than being taken apart to create them.
Is one order enough for a campus and a field on the same weekend?
Yes, and it is the sensible way to do it. Both sites go on one quote and arrive on one delivery, itemised so you can see which equipment belongs where. Send both addresses with the order you want them served in and a contact at each.
