Pedestrian Guardrails with Visibility Gap: 1m, 1.5m & 2m Panels

Steel pedestrian guardrails with an open visibility gap at the top of each panel, so drivers can see pedestrians (especially children) and pedestrians can see oncoming traffic. They keep people on the pavement and away from the road at crossings, junctions, school gates, car parks and busy town centres. They're made to BS 7818 and hot dip galvanised for a long, low-maintenance life.

Key facts

Galvanising: hot dip galvanised to BS EN ISO 1461
Panel widths: 1m, 1.5m or 2m
Fixing: root fixed (integral legs concreted in) or surface mounted (base plates)
Infill: standard (bars in a straight line) or staggered (bars set in a staggered pattern)
Finish: galvanised (standard lead time) or galvanised and powder coated black (extended lead time). Other colours available on request
Base plated panels: made to order

Why choose a visibility gap guardrail?

A standard guardrail can hide small children from drivers. The open gap at the top of a visibility gap panel lets drivers see over the infill to people behind it, which is why this style is widely used near schools, crossings and junctions.

Standard or staggered infill?

On the standard infill the vertical bars all sit in one straight line. On the staggered infill the bars are set in a staggered pattern, for a different look. Both have the same open visibility gap at the top.

Root fixed or surface mounted?

Root fixed panels have legs that are concreted into the ground, which is the strongest option and the usual choice for new pavements and highways. Surface mounted panels bolt down onto an existing surface with base plates, so there's no digging. Base plated panels are made to order.

How many panels do I need?

Measure the full run and mix 2m, 1.5m and 1m panels to fit. Not sure? Send us your measurements and we'll work out the best combination.

Barriers & Guardrails

What's the difference between pedestrian guardrail and safety barrier?

Pedestrian guardrail is designed to direct foot traffic and keep people away from hazards such as road edges, while safety barriers are generally heavier-duty and intended to withstand impact or contain a specific risk. Both are typically supplied as galvanised or powder-coated steel panels. If you're unsure which suits your site, tell us the application and we'll advise on the right range.

What are pedestrian guardrails made from?

Most guardrail panels are fabricated from mild steel tube, finished either hot-dip galvanised for corrosion resistance or powder coated to a RAL colour for a decorative finish. Some ranges combine both, galvanised as standard with a powder-coated top coat. Panel gauge and tube diameter vary by range, so ask us for the specification that suits your footfall and location.

Do guardrails need to be galvanised?

Galvanising isn't compulsory but it's strongly recommended for anything used outdoors. Hot-dip galvanising protects the steel from rust and typically outlasts paint alone, particularly in exposed or coastal locations. Indoor or low-exposure sites can often use powder coating without galvanising underneath, though this depends on the environment, so let us know your setting before ordering.

Can guardrail panels be powder coated in a specific colour?

Yes, guardrail panels can generally be powder coated to any RAL colour, including corporate or site-specific schemes such as safety yellow or black and white hazard banding. Powder coating is usually applied over a galvanised base for durability. Lead times and minimum quantities for bespoke colours vary, so check with us before placing an order.

Are your barriers bolt-down or freestanding?

Both fixing methods are available depending on the range. Bolt-down guardrail is fixed to a hard surface such as concrete or tarmac using base plates and anchors, giving a permanent, stable installation, while freestanding barriers use weighted feet and can be repositioned as needed. Tell us your surface type and whether the layout is permanent or temporary.

What standard do pedestrian guardrails need to meet?

There isn't one blanket standard covering all guardrail, as requirements depend on the application, for example pedestrian guarding near roads is often specified with reference to highways guidance while other sites follow general workplace safety requirements. We can point you towards the relevant specification once we know where and how the barrier will be used.

Can guardrails be made to a custom length or height?

Custom lengths, heights and end configurations are commonly available alongside standard stock sizes, particularly on made-to-order ranges. This is useful where a run needs to fit an exact boundary or match an existing installation. Bespoke sizing typically takes longer to produce than stock items, so factor this into your ordering timeline.
