Those familiar with resin folding chairs understand that similar to plastic folding chairs, resin folding chairs lock into the chair below them when stacked. This means that the stack of chairs is secure from shifting and falling over onto the ground or even worse on top of an employee or customer. But wood folding chairs don’t have this locking mechanism because they’re not made by resin molds and machines. So, while some rental companies favour their ability to be refinished, they need a way to secure wood folding chairs to folding chair carts when transporting their chairs to the customer.

Our folding chair cart with airless wheels can fit 29 wood folding chairs stacked on it through a standard height door. Our standard folding chair cart can fit 32 wood folding chairs stacked on it through a standard height door. From our customer intelligence, most party rentals that we’ve talked to use ratcheting tie downs or bungee cords.

In order to properly secure 29 wood folding chairs on a folding chair cart with airless wheels you will need a tie down of at least 16 3/8ft. In order to properly secure 32 wood folding chairs on a standard folding chair cart, you will need a tie down of at least 16 1/4ft as well.

Below is a product that can be purchased to properly secure your wood folding chairs to chair carts. I would recommend purchasing 2 per cart.

While I would love to have a spandex chair cover that is a one size fits all solution, the fact of the matter is it isn’t a one size fits all solution. Spandex folding chair covers don’t fit banquet chairs and spandex banquet chair covers don’t fit folding chairs. This is because the chairs themselves don’t have a similar shape and the spandex can only stretch so far.

But what about Bistro Chairs? They have a very similar shape to teardrop backed banquet chairs – so it only makes sense we’d be getting questions regarding the spandex banquet chair cover’s versatility. I thought I’d test it out so not only could blog readers could see, but we’d have a reference point to answer potential customers’ questions.

Below is what a spandex banquet chair cover looks like on a banquet chair:

Here is what a spandex banquet chair cover looks like on a bistro chair:

They definitely do not fit perfectly. The back is where the fit is most apparent. The fabric is too loose and gapes while in the front it fits relatively well but the seat is too large. Most discerning brides wouldn’t be happy with this look but if you need to figure out something in a pinch, the chair covers would fit.
