Abstract
A safety barrier assembly for a balcony has posts for mounting at spaced positions on the balcony, each post having a foot member supported by the balcony floor and a head member biased against the balcony ceiling. The posts each have an adjustment mechanism enabling height adjustment, and a series of formations along the length of the post at which to mount a mesh screen so that the screen stretches from floor to ceiling and stretches around the posts. The mesh screen thereby defines a confined usable balcony space but presents a barrier to a balcony occupant other than through an access door.
