Crowd Barrier Covers
What is a crowd control barrier?
A crowd control barrier is a sturdy metal frame designed to manage pedestrians and control crowds, often used to protect the public from potentially hazardous areas. Venues like festivals and bars use these barriers as a cost-effective way to manage queues.
In the UK, most crowd barriers are 2.3 metres wide and 0.9 metres tall, although some 2.5 metre barriers are in circulation. To find your barrier’s size, measure from the end of the hook to the end of the eye at each end of the barrier.
Crowd barrier covers are essential for managing events and promotions, providing a practical and eye-catching way to ensure safety and promote brand awareness. Whether it’s a street festival, sporting event, or concert, these covers offer a professional appearance while serving as clear partitions, screens, and access routes. They help create a safe and organised space for attendees while enhancing brand recognition.
Various types of crowd barrier covers are available to meet different event needs. The durable materials and customisation options make them versatile, with high-quality prints and finishes to increase visibility and convey important information. The easy ordering process and competitive pricing make them accessible to all event organisers, ensuring smooth event management while maximising brand exposure.
