A type I or type 1 barricade looks similar in terms of width to the type II barricade, but it has 1 panel instead of 2 going across horizontally.  Barricades can be made out of plastic, out of plywood, and parts can be made out of steel.  Usually the panels are plywood or plastic and the upright poles that hold it up are steel.
