Elevating Event Safety with Continuous Barricade Covers

Event organizers and venue managers are very familiar with using steel barricades to control crowds and guide pedestrian flow. However, many are less aware of the benefits of using barricade covers to improve the visual appeal of their crowd control barriers while promoting branding or displaying directional and safety messages. In this blog, we will explore the advantages of one of the most innovative products in this category, the Continuous Cover and how its elevating event safety.

About Barricade Covers

Standard barricade covers have a radius (curved) ‘shoulder’ that follows the shape of the barricade and they wrap around the hook & loops that are used to connect the barricades together. As every barricade manufacturer has a different radius and positions for their hooks and loops you must know the brand of barricade you have to order jackets. This can be difficult and most barricades do not carry any form of manufacturer’s mark. The continuous barricade cover was designed to overcome this problem by providing a universal fit cover.

This style of cover does not follow the radius of the barricade’s shoulder or wrap around the hooks and loops; instead they fit seamlessly into one another covering both the radius and the hooks & loops. This is done by incorporating a male end on one cover and a female end on another cover with one another and joining them with Velcro.

They are easy to install: just drape the jacket over the top rail and fasten the Velcro strips at the bottom of the cover together. Continuous fit covers offer versatility by fitting all brands of barricades eliminating the need to know which specific brand of barricade you own.

Features and Benefits:

Enhanced Visibility: Continuous barricade covers are available in a wide range of colors which can be used to blend with the venues décor or stand out to improve the barrier’s visibility.

Crowd Guidance: Printing clear and concise directional messages on the barricade covers can help guide event attendees to specific areas. Directing foot traffic can help to maintain orderly queues when it starts to become too crowded.

Branding Opportunities: Continuous Covers can be custom printed at Sun Coast’s in-house printing department. High speed digital printing allows logos, graphics or messages to be printed in an unlimited number of colors. The billboard size of these covers, positioned where pedestrian traffic is heaviest makes the Continuous Cover an ideal platform for promoting sponsor branding.

Durability: Our Continuous barricade covers are made from uv resistant heavy duty vinyl so they can withstand even the harshest weather conditions and have the advantage of being able to be stored while wet.

The universal fit of the Continuous Cover makes life easy for event organizers who may have multiple barricade types in their inventory. Easy to install, highly durable and able to be stored wet, the Continuous Cover is a cost effective and practical accessory in the event manager’s toolbox.
