How to Piece Together
the Parts of the
Booth Equipment

Front Table
Smallest and best size: 48" L x 18" W x 29" H
(standard height)
Largest size: 72" L x 32" W x 29" H
(standard height)
Cover - Use a vinyl material on the Front Table which goes within 1-2" of the ground on 3 sides and open in the back for easy access to totes under the table.  Use 1 1/2" Spring Paper Clips to keep it from slipping.

Counseling Tables
"Card" tables are a little too big, but can be used.
32" L x 14" W are ideal
A maximum of 2 for a 10 x10 Booth.
Covers - Use a vinyl material on the Counseling Tables which goes down about 8" on 3 sides and open in the back where the counselor sits.  Use 1 1/2" Spring Paper Clips to keep it from slipping.

Chairs
Regular metal folding chairs work well. Do not try to use add-on cushions, they just get in the way. Fabric covered chairs may get wet if it rains and the booth is outdoors. Simple folding chairs are great.
"Rental Type" folding chairs are even better.  They are lighter, nest when stacked and take up less room when stacked horizontally or vertically.
Take at least 6 chairs, 3 at each counseling table.  A total of 8 is better, keeping 2 folded for quick employment.

Canopy
When working outside, use a canopy. Get the type which do use tie-downs. Wal-Mart has one for about $100, which is good for use a few times a year. Sam's has one for about $200 and is good for heavy use. Costco has one for $220 and is probably the heaviest duty. Shop and compare, things can change.

Use weights to hold it down in the wind.
A 4" plastic pipe, cut in 2 1/2 ft lengths with a permanent plug on one end and a screw plug on the other, filled with sand will work well until the wind gets too rough. Hang one at each corner.
At night bring the canopy down to half leg height and retie weights. Roll up the sides up under the top so they will not catch wind or rain. Use one of the tarp sides to cover the 3 tables and chairs which have been bunched and stacked in the middle of the 10' x 10'.
Use large spring-clamps to clamp the excess tarp by clamping it to the table legs. We have had this work during high winds and driving rain.

Totes
Plastic boxes with lids work well to store away things which wind, rain or dew will damage. If carried in the back of a truck, tie the lids down. Use Plastic Boxes which are more heavy duty than the clear type.
