Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: What is a picket post used for in crowd control?
A: A picket post is the structural upright component of a portable picket fence system. It connects with picket fence panels to create a continuous, freestanding barrier used to guide guests, define zones, and manage crowd flow at events, venues, and outdoor spaces. At CCW, the Montour Line Picket Post is especially popular for upscale events where appearance matters.
Q2: Is the picket post compatible with traditional fence panels?
A: Yes. The Crowd Control Warehouse Picket Post shares the same connection system as the Traditional Post. It is fully compatible with both picket and traditional fence panels, giving you flexibility to mix and match panel styles across your setup.
Q3: How do I assemble the picket fence post?
A: No tools are required. Simply unfold the base legs, position the post on your surface, and attach the fence panels using the built-in hooks. Setup typically takes just a few minutes. For added stability on grass or soft ground, use the pre-drilled holes in the base to stake the post in place.
Q4: Can the picket post be used outdoors in all weather conditions?
A: Yes. The post is made from high-impact PVC vinyl with UV inhibitors, making it resistant to sun fading, moisture damage, warping, rust, and corrosion. It performs well in outdoor conditions and requires minimal maintenance - just clean with mild soap and water when needed.
Q5: How many picket posts do I need for my event?
A: The number of posts depends on the length of fencing you need and the panel size you're using. Each panel requires one post on each side. For a continuous run, adjacent panels share one post. We recommend purchasing a complete kit (such as the Picket Panel Kit) which includes matched posts and panels sized to your event's linear footage needs.
Q6: What is the weight and height of the picket post?
A: The Picket Post weighs approximately 11 lbs and stands at a height compatible with 38-inch panels. The lightweight design makes it easy to transport, set up, and store between events.
Q7: Can the picket post be used on uneven ground?
A: Yes. The base legs swivel to accommodate uneven terrain, making the post stable on grass, gravel, pavement, and other outdoor surfaces. For slopes or soft ground, the pre-drilled base holes allow staking for added security.
Q8: Is the picket post safe for events with large crowds?
A: Yes. The post is designed with safety in mind -no sharp edges, nails, splinters, or rough surfaces. This minimizes the risk of injury to spectators and participants, helping reduce your event's liability.
Q9: Can I buy picket posts individually or only in kits?
A: Picket posts are available individually and as part of complete kits. Individual posts are ideal for expanding an existing setup. If you're starting from scratch, the Picket Panel Kit includes both posts and panels and is the most cost-effective starting point.
Q10: Do you offer volume discounts on picket posts?
A: Yes. Crowd Control Warehouse offers volume pricing for bulk orders. Contact our sales team at sales@crowdcontrolwarehouse.com to request a quote for large quantities.
