Stanchions / Stantion Posts are effective when dealing with lines and queues
Stanchions (otherwise known as Stantions, Stansions, Stancions, or even Stachions) provide effective directional guidance for people when dealing with lines and queues. A stanchion post, connected to a series of other stanchion posts, form easy to setup and maintain crowd control barriers that help organize and maintain efficient traffic flow. CrowdControlStore has a huge selection of easy-to-use, built-to-last stanchions from top manufacturers. Custom post stanchions and belts are available as well.
What is a Stanchion?
We are often asked for a stanchion definition and what are stanchions used for. At Crowd Control Store we define stanchion as an upright pole or post that can be either Fixed, Removable, or Portable with a method for connecting one stanchion pole to another. They are sometimes called Stantions, Stansions, Stancions, or Stachions however we go with the most common spelling. The methods of connection include retractable belt straps, ropes, chains, or even panels to create paths for people to follow. These paths, or often called queues, act as channels in part of an effective crowd control system to help guide the flow of people throughout your facility. That is our stanchion meaning.
While typically made from metal, line posts come in a variety of materials from steel to aluminum to plastic and can be used indoors or outside. Another big difference in portable stanchions are their bases. The lower end queue stanchions come with cement filled (we only offer quality, fully filled, high-density cement models to prevent the potential for cracking) or cast-iron bases. As mentioned, make sure those low-priced queue line stanchions do not cheap out on the cement or you will be replacing them every year (sometimes as soon as you take them out of the box)!
We stand behind every stanchion pole for sale by ensuring they carry a manufacturer warranty and have been tested to last. Our team of experts can not only help you select the right fence stanchion, but advise how to set it up, maintain it, and build proper queues.
So, what is our stanchion definition? A great priced stanchion post that is easy to set up in a queue line that will be easy to maintain and stand up to abuse.

Types of Crowd Control Barriers
CrowdControlStore.com carries many types of crowd control barriers. Our largest selection is in portable retractable belt posts. They are the most common stanchion post you are most likely to find in airports, stadiums, as trade show stanchions, and even your favorite restaurants. The most cost-effective posts are made from steel and are meant to be used in indoors for lighter traffic areas. They can be heavy, but they are built to last. We also have stainless steel variants which can used outdoors as they are highly weather resistant. We offer retractable stanchions with a variety of belt lengths and colors, or classic stanchions with velvet or velour rope.
Those outdoor models feature high visibility finishes and belts. If you are looking for a lightweight (easy to move) solution that is also meant to stand the test of time against high traffic crowds such as banks, restaurants, stadiums, or airports, look no further than our aluminum blockade stanchion post models. Built from heavy duty aircraft grade aluminum, they will long out live their industry leading warranties. Plus, they are all simple no-tool setup designs. If you need a bit more style, say for a casino or theater, we also offer the classic red velvet rope and post stanchions. You can find the same line of materials and qualities plus higher end velour and microfiber ropes, plus braided plastic styles perfect for long term outdoor use.
In addition to steel stanchion, we also offer plastic stanchions and plastic chain which are lightweight, affordable, and meant to be left outside all the time. The stanchion poles are available in multiple bright colors to stand out or blend in with your environment. While we only list a few on site, contact us today for a complete rainbow of choices. The line posts and chains can even come in multiple color options. Now to let you in on a little secret, we can tell you the best type of crowd control barriers – ones with free shipping. Check out our large selection of pre-made free shipping stanchion sets today!
If you have a concrete stanchion base we have the covers you are looking for.


FAQ’s
Do you offer replacement parts for stanchions?
Do you offer custom stanchions?
Yes, we provide many options to customize your stanchions, such as retractable barrier belt printing. Please contact our team today to discuss all of our customization solutions at (866) 715-6006.
What types of stanchions are there?
How far apart should I place stanchions?
How far apart you should place your stanchions would depend on the kind of stanchions you are using, the length of the barrier (retractable belt or rope) and the floor space you are attempting to manage.
A good rule of thumb for retractable belt stanchions is to leave about 6” to 1’ of belt unused. So a 10’ belt should be extended no more than 9 1/2’ for maximum stability. Traditional Post & Rope Stanchions should have 3” of extra slack added to the belt for swag. So if you need a 6’ belt you need to order 6’ 3”. Rope cannot be longer than 6’ for post use and 10’ for wall mount use. From that information you can determine how many posts and the length of belt/rope needed. Still unsure? contact our customer service team for assistance.
