Hoop Barriers

Hoop barriers are easy to deploy and more effective in many applications than bollards and other railing systems. With corner options available you can also ensure that vulnerable warehouse corners or machines are protected from collisions. We stock a wide range of styles with just as many stylish variants for car forecourts to prevent theft as there are warehouse and logistics specific items. Installation could not be easier as we have a choice of both bolt down and cast in items available.

About Hoop Barriers

Hoop barriers are a type of metal safety barrier that can be found in almost every country in the world. Typically, they are cylindrical structures installed in urban environments to control pedestrian or vehicle access. Barrier hoops are designed for a range of use cases, from walkway barriers and perimeter barriers (like the kind you’d see around the carpark of a car showroom) to delineating pedestrian walkways in urban areas. Their versatility and strong design make them a popular choice for improving safety and organisation in both public and commercial spaces.

Hooped perimeter barriers can also act as an anti-terrorism feature, deterring unauthorised vehicle access. They are often used to protect storefronts, outdoor seating areas, and other pedestrian spaces from potential threats, especially in warehouse and factory environments that see a lot of vehicular traffic. Their installation shows a commitment to public safety and conscious urban planning, making them a popular choice for municipalities, property managers, and business owners.

Removable Hoop Barriers

Installed using a specialised method like casting in with embedded sockets or bolting down using expansion bolts, these barriers can be easily installed and removed as required. This means they can adapt to the needs of the space and are perfect for use as a perimeter barrier.

Stainless Steel Hooped Barriers

Do you need an ultra-durable barrier? Stainless steel is one of the most durable metals. It is both physically strong and incredibly resistant to corrosion and rust.

Galvanised Hoop Barriers

These provide good durability and corrosion resistance over long periods of time, though they may not match the performance of stainless steel. However, Galvanised Hoop barriers are much more cost-effective and can be powder-coated, too, making them a practical and durable choice.

Bolt Down Hoop Barriers

Instead of being concreted into the ground, bolt-down barriers have been bolted down into an area of prepared ground first. These are easier to install and quicker to remove, too.

Getting The Best Hoop Barriers For Your Needs

Before choosing a hoop barrier, consider the following factors to find the solutions most suited to you:

Purpose

What is the intended use case of your metal barrier? Whether for pedestrian control, vehicle management or site security, consider the barrier’s primary purpose and what features it needs to perform this before deciding the best options for you.

Material

Choose a suitable material based on durability and aesthetics. If you need saline resistance, consider a stainless steel barrier. If you only need durability and corrosion resistance, consider galvanisation.

Fixing Method

Does your barrier need to be removable? Consider what it will be used for, what impacts it is expected to receive during its lifetime, and the available space around it.

Visibility

How visible must your barrier be? Consider high-visibility colours or reflective strips to enhance visibility, especially in low-light conditions.

Dimensions

Ensure your barrier’s height and diameter are appropriate for your intended use case.

Maintenance

Consider how often and to what extent your barrier will have to be maintained. How easy will it be to clean, and what likely forms of damage will it receive during its normal lifetime? How resistant is it to corrosion and salt?
