1Spectator Barriers
Low cost football and rugby pitch spectator crowd barrier post and rail systems are available in high impact uPVC and steel. New PVC barriers with strong infill panels are also available for clubs that want to ensure spectators do not encroach onto the playing surface. (see picture below). We also supply various permanent steel post and rail spectator barriers with mesh infill panelling.
The PVC spectator barriers are lightweight yet strong and can be removed after each game if required. The post and rail system utilizes 68mm high impact PVC posts with strengthened push button “T” connectors. The plastic posts are just as strong as steel but are much safer for players than steel barriers. We can supply and fix or just deliver direct to site for self installation.
The permanent position spectator barrier is supplied with rust free plastic ground sockets that have the added advantage in that they cannot damage grass cutting equipment. A safe spiked system is also available to secure the in PVC posts where cricket squares are adjacent to the main pitch and need to be removed in the close season without damaging the playing surface. The posts and rails can also be easily strengthened if required to take extra load in areas where more spectators congregate.The steel barriers also use “T” connectors and are secured to rails by special screws. They are supplied galvanized or painted and all are concreted straight into the ground and cannot be removed once installed.
For junior clubs, we provide safe low-level plastic posts with plastic chain or rope that perform better and last much longer than the cheap Far East imported post systems with dangerous spikes. At the top of the range is the new high impact plastic post system with full panelling that prevents spectators from encroaching onto the playing surface keeps spectators off the pitch. This is a brand new system that we have introduced after hearing about fatal accidents to players on old dangerous concrete and steel crowd barriers.
Spectator Barrier – socketed
Much safer than steel post systems yet just as strong. The spectator barrier can be removed at the close of the season to help grass cutting and pitch maintenance if required or it can be left in permanently. The rails are 2.4 meters wide and light weight banners or boards can be used between posts for advertising. An incredibly strong system that is much safer for players. The posts and rails can be easily strengthened in any specific areas of the pitch if required. Practically maintenance free with no painting just a wash down occasionally with hot soapy water. The posts are supported in plastic rust free ground sockets that cannot damage grass cutting equipment and allow easy alignment and leveling..
Spectator Barrier – Spiked
The high impact PVC post and rail system can also be supplied with safety metal spikes that enable the barrier to be positioned anywhere and moved around. These are easy to install as they require no digging and can be positioned anywhere. They can be used when football pitches adjoin cricket squares.Click here to download the Spectator barrier download leaflet with further information.
Spectator Crowd Barrier – with PVC infill planking
If spectator barriers are required to prevent encroachment onto the playing surface then the PVC infill system is the best option. The posts are concreted directly into the ground to give stability and are solid posts with slots for the individual planks to slide into. The planks come 300mm and 150mm deep and three large planks and one small plank together is the required height. The posts have neat post caps and are maintenance free only needing an occasional wash down with hot soapy water. A sturdy strong system when installed that is designed to take lightweight removable signage. Special corner posts give a neat corner intersection and Gates for players, ambulances and grass cutting equipment can be easily made to suit different locations. This system is more expensive than a basic post & rail but looks fantastic when installed around a football pitch. Top clubs are looking at this system and ground improvement grants may be available form the Football Foundation to remove old concrete and steel systems and replace with the more modern safer alternative. We are the only company in the UK currently offering this system.
Low Cost Accurate Digital Signs
Economical external signs (for use outdoors) can be supplied to attach to the PVC Barrier planking. The one shown below is 750mm high, however, signs can be made up to 900mm high and as long as required. As the signs are digital they can include full colour photographic images and logos. This is the sign we fit on each location after installation.
