Stacking & Folding Chairs — Expert Answer
How are stacking chairs arranged in a tiered or raked seating configuration?
Tiered or raked concert venue seating requires stacking chairs that can be secured to risers or tiered platforms. This typically involves: riser-mount hardware (brackets that attach to the riser deck and secure the chair base in place), ganging connectors to keep rows aligned on each tier level, and aisle placement that meets fire egress requirements. Standard stacking chairs used on risers need anti-tip security - an unsecured stacking chair on an elevated platform is a serious safety hazard. Some specialized event chairs have built-in riser attachment points. Consult your venue's structural engineer and fire marshal before planning tiered configurations.
