Plastic stanchions are a great option for businesses on a tight budget or that are looking for a weather-friendly option. This type of stanchion post is almost identical to classic stanchion posts with a couple of key exceptions.

First, rather than a ring at the top, plastic stanchion posts have a C-hook on both sides to allow for attaching plastic chains. As their name implies, plastic stanchion posts are made of plastic rather than metal, making them lightweight and immune to most types of weather damage. Additionally, plastic stanchion posts can be weighted with sand, gravel, or water for added stability.

Because they’re so durable, plastic stanchion posts and chains are great options for outdoor venues like parking lots, amusement parks, street festivals, or trade shows.
