Outside Chair Setup
1.
Make the full first row
-
Use 2 chairs off the front crack to make distance from arbor
-
Set first chair on the inside of the second measuring chair, making the center isle
-
Line the fronts of the chairs together
-
For under 150 guest start with 6 chairs on front row
-
For over 200 guest start with 8 chairs on the front row
-
Once first two chairs are in place begin making the curve
-
I use two fingers at the top of the chair to create the curve
-
Setup first two chairs, then bring in the third chair and line up the front leg "like picture above"
-
Then make the two finger space
-
Repeat until front row is setup
-
The curve isn't very drastic
2.
Building Rows
-
I think its easier and quicker to go one row at a time
-
I walk the full length and just set the chairs out for that row
-
I use the inside isle chair to measure the distance between rows
-
Use the front and back of the measuring chair to decide on the row spacing
-
Over 200 guest count will need to be a tighter row to allow for all of the chairs
-
Below 200 can have a wider row to help fill the whole concrete patio correctly
-
It's good practice to check how wide the row is around half way
-
This helps to keep the full row the same width
-
I like to walk to the end of the row and look down it
-
Just another way to check to see if row is correct
-
In the left picture it got off about 4 chairs just go back and use the chair to remeasure the width
3.
Check rows
-
Use the concrete cut lines to check rows
-
It will let you know if both sides are close
4.
Add to the Sides
-
If you need 20ish more chairs just add to the sides instead of making a new row
-
Note: For the larger weddings if the back row goes all the way to the edge of the grass it could cause a tripping hazard so just go ahead and make another back row
