These stainless steel tensabarriers add a clean, polished look to any area needing sectioned off, and feature distinctive 2m red tape.
These stainless steel tensabarriers not only offer a bit more style but also give a polished finish. Each barrier includes a 2m long red tape that connects to other posts, standing 1m tall. Ideal for crowd control and securing valuable items during exhibitions or events. Please note, the price is per barrier.
How do I work out how much barrier hire I need?
While setting up is easy, figuring out how many ropes and posts you’ll need can be a bit tricky. For straight lines, you’ll need one more post than ropes. Complex setups might require a sketch first to ensure you’ve got it all covered. Remember, while ropes are 1.5m long, they should “sag” a little, so plan for about 1.2m per rope.
Tensabarriers are easier to manage—they come with a post and a stretchy fabric that recoils when not in use. Measure the area you want to block off and divide by 2m to figure out how many posts you’ll need. Up to three posts can be connected to one tensabarrier, making it easy to block off multiple sections.
Picket fences are 6ft (1.83m) long but don’t interconnect. They’re decorative, so leave a bit of space between each. To calculate how many fences you need, take the length of the area and divide by 2m per picket fence, allowing a bigger gap for entrances and exits.
There are many different styles of barrier hire, which work for a number of different spaces and setups. We have three main types available which are ropes and posts, tensabarriers and picket fences.
Rope and post barrier hire is often used for events where a VIP space needs to be sectioned off, for example a red carpet entrance area. While the ropes and posts cordon off space, they are more for decorative value than any kind of security.
We offer rope barrier hire in a multitude of colours, as well as both chrome and gold-coloured metal posts. Ropes have a clip at each end to allow them to be attached to posts. These clips can also be in chrome and gold-coloured configurations.
Tensabarriers don’t have quite the same VIP look like ropes and posts do but are a bit more secure and are great for constructing queueing areas. Each tensabarrier post comes with a 2m retractable tape which can be attached to another tensabarrier, which can quickly be put together to section off space.
Our picket fences for hire are a great decorative way of sectioning space into areas and are particularly useful for big festivals and exhibitions. Our fences are painted white and are free-standing in supplied “feet” but cannot be linked to each other.
