Portable barricade system and method of using same

A safety barrier comprising:

• a plurality of first straps and a plurality of second straps, each a first end and a second end;
• a first structural member having a plurality of attachment points and a second structural member having a plurality of attachment points;
• each said first end of said plurality of first straps being configured for attachment to said first structural member;
• each said second end of said plurality of first straps being configured for attachment to said second structural member, wherein each said second end of said plurality of first straps are configured to tension each of said plurality of first straps when said plurality of first straps is attached between said first structural member and said second structural member;
• and
• each of said first end and each of said second end of said plurality of second straps being configured to attach to said plurality of first straps, wherein said plurality of first straps and said plurality of second straps form a safety barrier when said plurality of first straps are attached between said first and said second structural members and tensioned.

A method of erecting a safety barrier comprising the steps of:

• providing at least one pole having a first and second end, said second end comprising a base;
• attaching said pole to a grating or other surface;
• attaching a first end of a first strap, near said first end of said pole;
• attaching a first end of a second strap, near said second end of said pole;
• attaching at least one third strap between said first and said second straps;
• attaching a second end of said first and said second straps to a structural member having at least two second desired attachment points;
• and
• tensioning said first and said second straps attached between said pole and said second attachment points, wherein said tensioning creates said safety barrier.

A method of erecting a safety barrier comprising the steps of:

• providing a first structural member having at least a first attachment point and a second attachment point;
• providing a second structural member having at least a third attachment point and a fourth attachment point;
• attaching a first end of a first strap, to said first attachment point;
• attaching a first end of a second strap, to said second attachment point;
• attaching at least one third strap between said first and said second straps;
• attaching a second end of said first strap to said third attachment point;
• attaching a second end of said second strap to said fourth attachment point;
• and
• tensioning said first and said second straps attached between said first and third and said second and fourth attachment points, respectively, wherein said tensioning creates said safety barrier.
