A protective barrier system comprising:
- at least one support member configured for coupling to a surface, the at least one support member comprising:
- a vertical post configured for coupling to a base;
- at least one curved extension extending from the vertical post;
- and
- a vertical cable extending from the at least one curved extension to the base;
- a frame comprising an upper portion and a lower portion, the upper portion being coupled to the at least one support member;
- a barrier material coupled to and suspended between the upper portion and the lower portion of the frame, the barrier material forming an enclosure having an interior and an exterior;
- and
- a door positioned relative to the enclosure and configured to provide access to the interior of the enclosure,
- wherein the barrier material is spaced from the at least one support member,
- wherein the vertical cable is configured to prevent the barrier material from contacting the at least one support member, and
- wherein the frame provides shape and structure to the barrier material.
A protective barrier system comprising:
- at least one support member configured for coupling to a surface;
- a frame comprising an upper portion and a lower portion, the upper portion being coupled to the at least one support member;
- a barrier material coupled to and suspended between the upper portion and the lower portion of the frame, the barrier material forming an enclosure having an interior and an exterior;
- and
- a door positioned relative to the enclosure and configured to provide access to the interior of the enclosure, the door being formed by a door support member comprising:
- a vertical post configured for coupling to a door base;
- a forked support member extending from the vertical post and comprising a first curved extension and a second curved extension;
- a first cable connected between the first curved extension and the door base;
- and
- a second cable connected between the second curved extension and the door base,
- wherein the upper portion of the frame is coupled to the door support member,
- wherein the barrier material is spaced from the at least one support member and the door support member, and
- wherein the frame provides shape and structure to the barrier material.
A protective barrier system comprising:
- at least one support member positioned on a surface;
- a frame comprising an upper portion and a lower portion, the upper portion being coupled to the at least one support member;
- a barrier material coupled to and suspended between the upper portion and the lower portion, the barrier material forming an enclosure having an interior and an exterior, wherein the barrier material is spaced from the at least one support member;
- and
- a door positioned on the enclosure and configured to provide access to the interior of the enclosure, wherein the door comprises:
- a door base;
- at least one door support member comprising a vertical post configured for coupling to the door base and at least one curved extension extending from the vertical post;
- and
- at least one cable extending from the curved extension to the door base,
- wherein at least the upper portion of the frame is coupled to the at least one door support member via the cable and the barrier material is spaced from the at least one door support member of the door.
A protective barrier system comprising:
- at least one support member configured for coupling to a surface;
- a frame comprising an upper portion and a lower portion and a plurality of vertical cables extending therebetween, the upper portion being coupled to the at least one support member;
- a barrier material coupled to and suspended between the upper portion and the lower portion of the frame, the barrier material forming an enclosure having an interior and an exterior;
- and
- a door positioned relative to the enclosure and configured to provide access to the interior of the enclosure,
- wherein the barrier material is spaced from the at least one support member,
- wherein the plurality of vertical cables are positionable adjacent the barrier material on an exterior side of the enclosure, and
- wherein the frame provides shape and structure to the barrier material.
A protective barrier system comprising:
- at least one support member configured for coupling to a surface;
- a frame comprising an upper portion and a lower portion, the upper portion being coupled to the at least one support member;
- a barrier material coupled to and suspended between the upper portion and the lower portion of the frame, the barrier material forming an enclosure having an interior and an exterior;
- and
- a door positioned relative to the enclosure and configured to provide access to the interior of the enclosure,
- wherein each of the upper portion and the lower portion of the frame comprises a lateral support cable operatively coupled to an exterior-facing side of the upper portion and the lower portion,
- wherein the barrier material is operatively coupled to the frame with one or more attachment mechanisms along the lateral support cable,
- wherein the barrier material is spaced from the at least one support member, and
- wherein the frame provides shape and structure to the barrier material.
