Determining Your Barrier Needs

Calculating the right number of barriers for your event can be straightforward. Here’s a guide to help you:

  • Post and Rope Barriers: For a straight line, you'll need one more post than the number of ropes. Ropes are typically 1.5m long; however, allow for some sag, estimating about 1.2m per rope.
  • Tensabarriers: Measure the distance to be blocked off and divide by 2m to determine the number of posts required. Remember, up to three posts can connect to a single tensabarrier post.
  • Picket Fences: Each fence is 6ft (1.83m) long. Simply measure your desired area and divide the total by the length of each fence, allowing extra space for entrances or exits.
