How A Quote Is Built
Stanchion Rental Quotes in Edmonton
Every order here is quoted rather than priced off a card, because the same equipment behaves like a completely different order at six posts and at six hundred. This page sets out exactly what the figure is assembled from, so nothing on your quote arrives as a surprise.
- Custom orders built to your event
- Built for corporate clients and marketing agencies
- Delivering to events across Canada
Starting rates
Every factor below moves the figure. A quote is assembled out of them and reflects your quantities, your dates and your address.
| Quantity | The main one | Six posts at a boardroom door and a switchback holding two thousand delegates are the same equipment doing two entirely different jobs. |
|---|---|---|
| Rental period | Days to a month+ | A single-evening gala and a fortnight-long installation are quoted differently, and a long hire is not the daily figure multiplied out. |
| What the equipment has to do | Shape, not headcount | A straight lane, a switchback and a barrier perimeter are three different orders for exactly the same number of people. |
| Delivery address | Anywhere in Alberta | Equipment is held here in Edmonton. Where it is going, and what the access looks like once it arrives, is part of the figure rather than a line added afterwards. |
| Setup and pickup | Optional | The crew can set out on arrival and strike afterwards, or simply drop and go. Say which on the enquiry and it is quoted with the order. |
| Custom work | Quoted the same way | A runner cut to an awkward walk, a mixed run of belt and rope posts, a barrier line routed around a building — none of it is treated as an exception. |
What is already included
What is already inside the figure, and what actually holds a date:
Insurance
Already inside the figure. No separate insurance line is added on top of it.
Pickup
Delivery covers the collection after your event as well. One truck, one line.
Booking
Equipment is assigned to your dates at the point the order is paid in full.
Setup and teardown
Having the crew set out and strike is optional, and it is quoted with the order rather than sold at a fixed rate — eight posts in a lobby and a full festival perimeter are not remotely the same job. Ask for it on the enquiry and it comes back as its own line.
A good number of clients skip it. Posts carry easily and clip together without tools, so a modest run sits well inside what a venue team can handle on its own.
Delivery
Delivery sits inside the quoted figure rather than being added to it, and it covers collection once the event is down. What it comes to follows two things and no others: the address and the size of the order.
A boardroom doorway and a festival site are not the same run, and a lobby drop and a full festival load are not the same trip. Distance settles whatever is left after those two.
See service areas → for where we go, or just send the event address with your dates and it will be itemised on the quote.
Cancellation
Plans move. This is how a cancellation is handled:
| More than 48 hours before the rental date | Full refund. |
|---|---|
| Within 48 hours but more than 24 | 50% refunded. |
| Less than 24 hours before | No refund. |
The full wording sits on the terms and conditions → page, and that version is the authoritative one.
Common questions about quotes
What is actually inside the quoted figure?
The equipment and the insurance, with no separate insurance charge sitting on top of the rental. Delivery appears as its own line on the quote rather than surfacing later, and the collection after your event is inside that line.
What do you need in order to quote?
The event dates, the products with quantities, and the address it is going to. From those three an event rental specialist itemises the equipment, works out delivery for that address, and sends back a single figure covering the lot.
At what point is the equipment ours?
When the order is paid in full. Up to then it is quoted rather than held, which on a busy weekend is the whole argument for settling early.
How far ahead is worth booking?
The weeks that fill are the predictable ones: award season, the spring and summer wedding run, and December corporate evenings. Outside those there is no minimum notice — send the dates and we will come back on what is free against them.
