We often get asked how strong our tables are. Everyone is scared of getting a table that's not strong enough or that will collapse in a strong breeze. In the past, we've stress tested our plastic folding tables, showing what it takes to break a 6-ft Rectangular Plastic Folding Table, an 8-ft rectangular plastic folding table, and a 60-inch Round plastic folding table. Unfortunately, after stress testing our 8-ft wood folding table, last year's winter got really bad and we had to use our road salt to melt ice instead of breaking wood tables. But winter's back again, we've got a couple of skids of salt, and a desire to stress some tables!

Our first stress test is going to be the 6-ft wood rectangle folding table. Want to know how much salt it takes to break the table? Watch on!

With spandex covered cruiser tables becoming more popular at events, our rental companies have been looking for seating which compliments the tables. Regular bar stools can be a pain in the butt if they don't stack and can take up a lot of space in both trucks and warehouses. Folding bar stools are an attractive solution to this problem. A light weight folding chair makes load-ins and unloads easy and because they fold down, they occupy less space in both trucks and warehouses. With our spandex linens and cruiser tables growing in popularity month after month, we're often asked "How much do folding bar stools cost in Canada?" Read on for an answer!

Cost of Folding Bar Stools

A folding bar stool can range in price from $27.99 to $85.00. This range is quite large, and reflects the different materials that can be used in the folding bar stool. For simpler chairs, with a strong steel frame and a simple back and seat, you're looking at the low end of the range. If you start adding leather padding, or upholstery, you're looking at a pricier chair. Often suppliers of event chairs provide volume discounts that discount the price per chair as the quantity of chairs purchased increases.

Hopefully this post allows you to budget the approximate amount you’re looking to spend on folding bar stools.

This Friday January 23rd starting at 4PM, we will be exhibiting at CRA BC Regional Trade Show taking place at the Cloverdale Rodeo & Exhibition Show Barn in Surrey, British Columbia. We’ve been exhibiting at this show for 5 years and are looking forward to catching up with our prospective and current customers in BC in booth 42/43.

As a thank you for all the support all you fabulous British Columbians have shown to our company, we’re offering anyone that stops by our booth the ability to save 10% on all spandex/polyester tablecloths as well as any crystal or glass drinkware.

This year, the BC Local chapter of the Canadian Rental Association has put together a fabulous show incentive to anyone from a rental company that attends. The CRA BC Local will be making 2 draws for $1000.00 each to be spent at the trade show. The draws will take place on the Friday night and on the Saturday afternoon. In order to win, you must attend the show and be present at the draw. There is only one prize per attendee and the prize money needs to be spent at the trade show with one of their exhibiting trade show sponsors. Good Luck to all the potential winners!!

We look forward to seeing you at the show!

Winter hasn't been too bad here at National Event Supply. There was a little whining when the windchill reading dropped to -29 Celsius, but for the most part we’ve been surviving. The recent cold snap did get us thinking about tent heaters (and vacations to warm locales with beautiful beaches). Now, there aren't a lot of weddings happening, in tents, in Canada, in the dead of winter, but spring is coming. And while every bride hopes for gorgeous weather on her big day, tent heat may be needed for those spring and fall weddings. Even though we don't sell tents or tent heaters, we do sell to tent rental and party rental companies looking for these products and want to help our customers and potential prospects make educated decisions on the types of tent heaters to purchase. So we decided to take a look at the two different types of tent heaters and highlight the pros and cons for each.

The first major type of tent heater is a direct tent heater. Direct tent heaters heat the tent by forcing air over an open flame to produce hot air which is then ducted in to the tent. Direct tent heaters are usually fuelled by propane and are most efficient in totally enclosed tent applications.

The other major type of tent heater is an indirect tent heater. Indirect tent heaters have a heat exchanger much like the forced air furnace found in many homes. The fan of the heating unit blows air across the heat exchanger sending the hot air into the tent through ductwork. Indirect tent heaters are also usually fuelled by propane, although diesel units can be found. Indirect tent heaters are most commonly used in larger applications where clean, warm air is required.

Depending on your jurisdiction, the choice between direct-fired and indirect-fired tent heaters may be a simple one. If not, you'll need to weigh the efficiency and ease of use of direct tent heaters against the better quality heat and larger size of the indirect tent heaters.

Banquet chair dollies are the perfect way to transport banquet chairs between the storage room and your event venue’s different rooms. Perhaps you already own multiple or just one banquet chair dolly, or perhaps you don’t own any – regardless of whether you own one or not – the number one question you’re bound to ask yourself when looking for a dolly is “how much does a banquet chair dolly cost?” Below will detail the approximate cost to budget when looking to purchase a banquet chair dolly in Canada.

Banquet chair carts range in price from $49.95 - $130.95 CDN. The range in price is due to three different style variations and different materials in use.
