Post and chain barriers are the classic boundary marking solution — defining perimeters, protecting grass verges, guiding pedestrians, and creating elegant boundaries around commercial and public spaces. Simple, effective, and visually appealing.
Why Use Post & Chain?
- Define boundaries without blocking views
- Protect grass verges from vehicle overrun
- Guide pedestrian flow in car parks and public spaces
- Decorative appearance suits heritage and retail settings
- Easy to install and reconfigure
- Lower cost than solid barriers or fencing
Types Available

Galvanised or powder-coated steel posts with metal chain. Heavy-duty and vandal-resistant. Suits permanent installations in car parks and commercial premises.

Frequently Asked Questions
What spacing should I use between posts?
Standard spacing is 1.5m to 2m between posts. Closer spacing creates a neater appearance; wider spacing reduces cost.
Will post and chain stop vehicles?
No — post and chain is a visual deterrent, not a physical vehicle barrier. For vehicle stopping power, use bollards or Armco barriers.
