Crowd Barrier Covers
£31.00 ex. VAT
Printed crowd barrier covers turn the barriers at your event into a run of branding, sponsor messaging or wayfinding. They are made for standard 2.3m and 2.5m crowd barriers, fixed-leg or loose-leg.
Choose a fabric jacket in mesh polyester or display polyester that pulls over the whole frame, or a PVC cover that ties inside the frame or folds over the top rail. Every cover can be single or double-sided, with eyelets set to the barrier frame for bungee ball ties.
Every cover comes with a free artwork proof from our design team before anything goes to print.

Crowd Barrier Covers in Use
Crowd control barriers line every festival entrance, race route and fan zone. A printed crowd barrier cover turns that bare steel into a run of branding, sponsor messaging or wayfinding that thousands of people walk past.
Covers come in two forms. Fabric jackets, in mesh polyester or display polyester, are made in one piece and pull over the whole barrier frame for a smooth, tailored finish. PVC banners tie to the infill bars inside the frame, single-sided, or fold over the top rail to cover both sides.
- Made for standard 2.3m and 2.5m crowd barriers, fixed-leg or loose-leg
- Three materials: mesh polyester, display polyester and PVC
- Single or double-sided print
- Eyelets set to the barrier frame, for bungee ball ties or cable ties
- Free design service and an artwork proof before print
- Your printed barrier cover, made to fit a 2.3m or 2.5m barrier
- Hemmed edges with eyelets positioned to suit the barrier frame
- A free artwork proof to approve before printing
The barrier itself is not included. Covers are fixed with bungee ball ties or cable ties through the eyelets.
Check your barrier width before you order. Measure the full width of the frame from outside edge to outside edge: most UK crowd barriers are 2.3m or 2.5m.
| Cover type | For a 2.3m barrier | For a 2.5m barrier |
|---|---|---|
| Fabric jacket (mesh or display polyester) | 2190 × 890mm | 2390 × 890mm |
| PVC, single-sided | 2100 × 820mm | 2300 × 820mm |
| PVC, double-sided fold-over | 1900 × 1740mm | 2100 × 1740mm |
| Material | Type | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Mesh Polyester | Fabric jacket | Long outdoor use, light and wind-permeable |
| PVC | Banner | Bold, solid colour where wind is light |
| Display Polyester | Fabric jacket | The smoothest, most premium finish, heavier duty |
For long periods outdoors or windy sites, choose mesh polyester. Solid materials catch the wind like a sail and put more strain on the barrier and the fixings.
- Festivals, concerts and music venues
- Marathons, fun runs and cycling events
- Sports stadiums and fan zones
- Street events, parades and markets
- Construction and building sites
- Exhibitions and outdoor launches
- Check the barrier width. Covers are made for 2.3m or 2.5m barriers and will not fit the other size.
- Check the corners. Some barriers are rounded at all four corners, others only at the top. Choose the matching corner shape when you build your cover.
- Not for police barriers. Covers suit standard fixed-leg and loose-leg crowd barriers only.
- Order one first on large jobs. For big runs, a single test cover confirms the fit before you order the rest.
- Need a long run? Continuous banners spanning several barriers, up to about 12m, are available on request.
Every cover is fixed through its eyelets with bungee ball ties, which we recommend because they keep the graphic under even tension and help it last, or with cable ties.
| Cover type | Eyelets |
|---|---|
| Fabric jacket, single-sided | 8: six around the lower half, two in the top sleeve |
| Fabric jacket, double-sided | 12: six on each side, aligned so one tie passes through both |
| PVC, single-sided (all corners rounded) | 12 |
| PVC, single-sided (top corners rounded) | 10 |
| PVC, double-sided fold-over | 12, in pairs: six ties per cover |
Single-sided PVC sits just inside the frame, so there are no loose edges to flap. A single-sided fabric jacket has a plain sleeve that slips over the top rail to hold it in place.
We supply a template for each barrier size and cover type, marked with bleed, the finished edge, the safe area and the eyelet positions. Our design team will lay out your artwork free of charge.
- Supply print-ready PDF artwork in CMYK. Pantone colours are converted to CMYK.
- Run the background colour or image out to the bleed line.
- Keep logos and text inside the safe area, clear of the eyelets.
- For double-sided covers, send artwork for both sides.
- Not sure where to start? Send us your logo and a short brief and we will send you a proof.
Production starts as soon as your artwork proof is approved. All orders are sent by tracked delivery across the UK, and express production is available at checkout.
