Space and Layout Requirements

  • Consider post heights—standard 1m works for seated diners, taller for standing areas.
  • Calculate total barrier length needed—add 10% extra for flexibility.

Material and Design Options

  • Choose between stainless steel or powder-coated posts—matches your exterior design.
  • Consider banner material—PVC for durability, canvas for premium look.
  • Check base weight options—heavier bases offer more stability in exposed locations.

How Commercial Bolero Barrier Systems Work

Bolero barrier systems couldn't be simpler to use, yet they're incredibly effective. The system consists of heavyweight steel posts that position securely on the ground, connected by taut, weather-resistant banners or panels. Most systems feature a quick-connect design with retractable belts or hooks that secure the banners between posts. The weighted bases (typically 7-13kg) ensure stability even in breezy conditions, while the modular design lets you create custom layouts—straight runs, L-shapes, or full enclosures—to perfectly suit your outdoor space. In minutes, you've transformed an open pavement into a defined, professional dining area!
