Abstract

A barrier system that is lightweight and exceeds existing safety regulations is disclosed. The barrier system has a plurality of rod-like, elongated bodies, a bracket system to affix the elongated bodies to a structure where the barrier is desired, and an attachment for fixedly, but removably, attaching webbing to the elongated bodies to create the barrier. In a number of preferred embodiments, the attachment mechanism is formed from a plurality of loops arrayed along each elongated body with the loops forming a plurality of substantially aligned openings arrayed along the elongated body. A locking pin is placed through the aligned openings on an elongated body after the webbing has been placed against the elongated body. A variety of bracket systems are disclosed which allow the barrier system to be used in virtually unlimited applications for temporary barriers.
