These Chrome barrier posts for hire are designed to be used with our rope barrier system to create great sectional areas for your event or occasion
Use these stylish barrier posts to manage crowds in your shop, hotel or at exhibitions. These chrome barrier posts are complete with weighted bases and are designed to be used with our ropes (not supplied). Each Post has a 4 position attachment ring providing multi-directional use.
We offer three main types of barrier hire for use at events and occasions in Bristol and the surrounding area. These consist of barrier ropes and posts, tensabarriers and picket fences.
In our experience, ropes and posts are most often used when a VIP section needs to be created at an event; for example the classic red carpet entrance. While the ropes and posts work as a means of delineating space, they are for decorative value only and can't be used as 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 are often used to create queuing areas as they are easy to move and clip into place. The posts each contain a 2m retractable tape with a clip on the end, which can be attached to another tensabarrier or a wall-mounted clip. Each post has space to accept three tensabarrier clips, making it possible to link multiple tensabarriers to one point to create more complex queueing space if required.
Our picket fences for hire are a great decorative way of sectioning space into areas and in our experience are particularly useful for big outdoor festivals and exhibitions. Our fences are painted white and are free-standing in supplied “feet” but cannot be linked to each other.
While easy to set up, knowing how many ropes and posts needed is a little bit more of an art form. For a straight line, there is always one more post needed than ropes; more complex arrangements will differ and it’s always worth drawing out first to make sure you’ve got it right. Sizing is important to understand too; while ropes are 1.5m long it’s de rigueur to allow them to “sag” a little, so you should allow 1.2m for each rope.
Tensabarriers are a bit easier to deal with. They come with a post and one stretchy piece of fabric which recoils into the post when not clipped to another post. Simply measure the distance needed to block off, and divide by 2m to get the number of posts needed. Up to three posts can be attached to one tensabarrier post, allowing multiple sections to be created easily.
Picket fences are 6ft (1.83m) long and do not interconnect. They're designed more for decorative purposes than security, and as such one should allow for a little bit of space between them. To work out how many picket fences are needed, simply take the dimensions of the space that you wish to encircle and divided by 2m for each picket fence, remembering to leave a bigger gap for your entrance / exit.
