How far apart should rows of plastic folding chairs be?

We always like questions on how to use our products. They’re a great way to find out more about how our products should be used in their intended. Over the past two weeks we have shared the answer to the reader questions “how far apart should rows of chiavari chairs be?” and “how far apart should rows of white resin folding chairs be?” We've also had a reader ask “how far apart should rows of plastic folding chairs be?” and I thought it worth sharing the answer. From a guest’s point of view, having chair rows too close together can be uncomfortable. I know I have attended many hockey and baseball games where the stadiums cram rows of seating in and going to get a drink or to the restroom is an awkward experience to say the least. On the flip side of this, if chairs are spaced too far apart, guests won’t be able to adequately interact with one another and the room feels like there is wasted space.

The rule of thumb for how far apart rows of plastic folding chairs: 33.25 inches from chair back to chair back.

Our Plastic Folding Chairs are 15.25 inches deep. We need to leave an additional 18 inches between the back of the chair row in front to the plastic folding chair front of the row behind.

The rule of thumb for how far apart each plastic folding chair should be in a row: each plastic folding chair in a row should be spaced 2 inches apart so guests don’t feel crowded or uncomfortable.
