What’s an A-Frame Barricade?
It can be hard to research a product when you don’t even know the various names it has. For example, lets say you have a project that calls for (200) Plastic A Frame Barricades 8/8×24″ EG 12 Guage Legs. Most people have no idea what this means. I’m here to help you understand, you see a-frame is a barricade that looks like an ‘A’ when standing up and viewed from the side.
There are multiple kinds of a-frames barricades, but the basics you need to know to be able to talk to someone about purchasing these would be what it’s made of out (plastic, plywood, plastic boards iron legs?), the type of sheeting needed and if it’s only needed on the top or needed on the top and bottom? And then the size of the sheeting as well as if you need 12 guage (thicker) or 14 guage (skinnier) legs. Once you know all this you are ready to start comparing prices.
Parade Barricades and Their Many Names
They can be called parade barricades, a-frame barricades type 1 or type 2 barricades or a bunch of other things. Basically these are barricades used for crowd control or to block off certain areas in a parking field, parking lot etc. Two legs with one or two boards ranging from 4′ long to 12′ long (or even longer if you have a custom built one).
The legs and boards also have options. For example, if you want orange/white reflective sheeting, you can have it on one side, two sides and it can range from Engineer Grade to Diamond Grade. The boards can be either 1″ thick or 1.75″ thick and the legs can be sand fill-able to add extra weight for sturdiness.
