What Parry Sound hires
A narrow dock with open water on both sides.
Much of what happens in this town happens on the water: a tour boat boarding at the wharf, a float plane loading at its dock, a regatta or a fireworks night drawing a crowd along the shore. The common problem is width. A dock is long and narrow, it has an edge where a slip means the water, and the crowd on it wants to stand as close to that edge as it can for the view. The hire here is about holding people back from the side and moving them along the middle — a line along the edge rather than a queue across the end.
A line along the edge
Belt posts or rope set back from the side of the dock give the crowd a boundary to stand behind while the boat or plane is loading.
Bases for timber and stone
Deck planks, a concrete wharf and granite shoreline each take a base differently, and nothing is screwed or fixed into a dock that somebody else manages.
Barricade at the landing
Interlocking steel closes the head of a gangway or a float-plane ramp, so passengers go through one opening and spectators stay clear of it.
Around the sound
The harbour, the islands and the shore roads.
Many sites here are reached by a single road down to the water. Each drop is worked out from the spot above the wharf where a truck can stop and how the equipment gets down to the dock from there. Delivery, setup and collection are quoted line by line, and on a dock the setup line is often taken, because the run has to be placed with the water in mind as well as the crowd.

Drops go to the waterfront sites a Parry Sound crowd collects at:
- the town wharf and the tour-boat landing
- the float-plane base on the harbour
- the marinas along the sound and up the river mouth
- the performance hall and the park on the waterfront
- the mainland docks that serve the island resorts
- the community centre and the fairgrounds inland
Tell us how wide the dock is, what it is built from and where a truck can stop above it, and the line is planned for the edge as well as for the crowd.
Dockside questions
Asked on the wharf in Parry Sound.
- What do stanchions rent for around Parry Sound?
- Both published sets, gold posts with velvet rope or black posts with retractable belt, carry the same rates: $19 for one day, $29 for a three-day hire and $39 for a week on the dock. Bringing the equipment down to the water, placing the line and carrying it back up are priced as separate items, and a site reached by one narrow road is quoted on what that road allows.
- Can posts be placed on a timber dock?
- Yes. Bases sit on the planks without being fixed, and a heavier base goes where the dock moves or the wind comes off the water. Keep the line back from the edge rather than on it, and say whether the dock floats or is fixed, because a floating dock shifts under a crowd and the post spacing changes with it.
- How do we keep spectators clear of a float plane or tour boat that is loading?
- Close the head of the ramp or gangway with barricade so there is one way on, and run a belt or rope line along the dock to hold spectators behind it. The operator usually has firm views on where people may stand, so send their instructions with the brief and the layout follows them.
- What works for a crowd along the shore on a fireworks night?
- A long run of posts with belt or rope set back from the waterline, with barricade at the points where the shore drops away or the crowd is thickest. On granite or uneven ground the posts take heavier bases, which are listed as a separate item.
- Can signs be put up on the wharf?
- Yes. Boarding points, ticket lines and keep-clear areas can each get a printed panel in a sign frame or T-stand. On an exposed wharf a low frame is steadier than a tall one, so say how open the site is and the frames are chosen to suit it.
