When it comes to preparing a business plan, one of the key areas to document is your seating options for events. This includes your chairs, tables and other furniture and it is important to cover all types of events, including weddings, corporate functions and party seating arrangements. It’s also worth mentioning that this is where most chair hire companies get their start so you need to have a clear picture of your target audience and what they are looking for when it comes to table and chair rentals.

Plastic chair hire is a great option for most occasions and can be found all over the country as it is an affordable, lightweight, robust and functional event seating solution. It’s often referred to as folding chairs and is the most popular type of seat for rent, used at all kinds of events from festivals and concerts to temporary cafe and catering zones and even backstage artist dressing rooms at larger events. They fold to flat and can therefore be easily transported and stacked for transport and storage and are ideal for situations where the aesthetic of the chair isn’t necessarily important and they simply need to offer practical, comfortable and robust seating in large numbers.

There are a range of different options for plastic chairs for rental, some have fabric or leather seats and backs attached to metal frames, others have plastic backs and seats with plastic frames. These hybrid chairs are generally a bit more comfortable than all-metal ones as the plastic backs and seats are flexible, contouring to the shape of the body. The most popular of all though is the black stacking poly chair, a solid, robust plastic seated stacking chair with a coated metal frame.
