A chain barrier post is a lightweight red and white post that holds plastic chain to cordon off areas, channel pedestrians and mark out restricted zones. The 900mm ABS post has a moulded clip top cap with two open hooks, so chain can run in from one side and out the other. It sits in a separate chain support base, and posts, bases and chain together make up a post and chain barrier.
How a Clip Top Cap Makes Chain Barriers Quick to Move
Barrier tape tears, sags and is thrown away after each job, while fixed barriers take time to move when the work area changes. Areas end up poorly marked, or tape is replaced again and again. With a clip top post, the chain clips in and out of the cap in seconds, so the barrier can be re-routed, packed away and used again.
Key Features
-
Clip top chain support cap: two open hooks let chain be clipped on and off without threading it through.
-
Two chain hooks: chain can run in a straight line or change direction at the post.
-
UV stabilised ABS post: the manufacturer expects it to keep its colour for 5 years in normal use.
-
Injection moulded LLDPE cap: also UV stabilised, matched to the post colours.
-
Red and white bands: high-contrast colours make the barrier easy to see.
-
Lightweight 0.38kg post: easy to carry and reposition as work areas change.

Typical Users and Projects
Facilities, warehouse and site teams use chain barrier posts to mark out areas quickly during maintenance, deliveries and day-to-day operations. They are also used in hospitals, colleges, receptions and offices to channel queues and close off areas. No training is needed to set them up, but they are for use away from the public highway.
Typical applications
-
Cordoning off a maintenance area or spill in a warehouse aisle.
-
Marking out a pedestrian route through a factory or workshop.
-
Channelling a queue at a reception desk or event entrance.
-
Closing off a corridor or room in a hospital or college during works.
-
Keeping visitors away from a loading bay or plant area inside a site compound.
-
Separating a temporary storage area in a depot or yard.
How to use
Step 1: Place a chain support base at each point along the barrier line.
Step 2: Push a post firmly into each base.
Step 3: Clip plastic barrier chain into one hook on the first post cap.
Step 4: Run the chain to the next post and clip it into the cap, keeping it off the ground.
Step 5: Repeat along the line, using the second hook to change direction at a post.
Step 6: When the area reopens, unclip the chain, lift the posts out and store them for reuse.
Common mistakes
-
Using posts and chain on the public highway or for street works.
-
Standing posts without a base, so they fall over.
-
Spacing posts too far apart, so the chain sags to the ground.
-
Relying on a chain barrier to stop falls or vehicles.
-
Cleaning posts with abrasive cleaners, which damage the surface.
Safety
Do not use posts and chain on the public highway, as they do not meet the Traffic Signs Regulations and General Directions 2002 or the Safety at Street Works and Road Works code of practice. A post and chain barrier marks out an area but will not stop a fall or a vehicle, so use edge protection or vehicle barriers where those risks exist. Keep fire exits and escape routes clear when setting out barriers.
Maintenance
Clean posts with warm soapy water and do not use abrasive substances or solutions. Check caps for cracks before use and replace any damaged posts.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What do I need to build a post and chain barrier?
A: You need chain barrier posts, a chain support base for each post and a length of plastic barrier chain. Push each post into a base, then clip the chain into the hooks on the caps. The bases and chain are sold separately.
Q: What size is the chain barrier post?
A: The post is 900mm high and 45mm in diameter, and weighs 0.38kg. The chain support cap sits on top of the post.
Q: Can chain barrier posts be used on the road?
A: These posts are not for use on the public highway. The manufacturer states that the posts and chain do not meet the Traffic Signs Regulations and General Directions 2002 or the Safety at Street Works and Road Works code of practice. For street works, use road barriers, cones and signs that meet those requirements.
Q: What are these posts not suitable for?
A: They are not suitable for the public highway, or for standing on their own without a base. A post and chain barrier marks out an area but does not stop a fall or a vehicle. Use edge protection or vehicle barriers where those risks exist.
Q: Why use post and chain instead of barrier tape?
A: Barrier tape tears and is usually thrown away after each job. Posts and chain can be set up, moved and packed away again many times. The UV stabilised post and cap are expected to keep their colour for 5 years in normal use.
Q: Will the post fit other bases and chains?
A: The post is designed for matching chain support bases and plastic barrier chain. If you are using a base from another range, check that its socket takes a 45mm post. The open hooks on the cap take plastic barrier chain.
Q: How do I clean chain barrier posts?
A: Wash them with warm soapy water. Do not use abrasive substances or solutions, as they can damage the surface and fade the colours.
Q: How do I set out a barrier around a corner?
A: Place a post at the corner and clip the incoming chain into one hook on its cap. Clip the outgoing chain into the other hook and run it to the next post. Keep the posts close enough that the chain stays off the ground.
