Guardrail Direct

Guardrail is commonly used to help outline the boundaries of any space that may pose some danger to an individual. Safety guard rails are used to deter or prevent access to areas that are off-limits or deemed dangerous.

The most used height is 740mm (this is the road authority’s specification). But height can vary on individual requirements and can be made accordingly. Some circumstances require double or even triple height guardrails, we make any combination!

Guardrail can be configured in many different ways to make either a barrier for visual effect or right up to a barrier that will not let anything through it. Ring Ian at Guardrail Direct for expert advice and to discuss a guardrail that would be suitable for your requirements.

No, the cost of guard rails is dependent on the shape, size, and length of the rails that are needed. For example, curved guard rails can cost you around $260 for a 4.0 metre piece that has galvanised coating and $550 for the same length that is finished in a safety yellow powder coat. Other types of guardrail, for example, circular guard rail is more expensive and can cost around $1,350 for a 500 mm circle. Straight lengths are generally cheaper than special-shaped pieces and can roughly cost $60 per metre if galvanised and $120 per metre if powder-coated to safety yellow.

Many of our Guardrail customers simply email a rough sketch (with the distances required) of the section or sections they want. Guardrail Direct will send you back your sketch with the lengths that can be achieved using our standard rails and ends. If exact lengths are required, we can make to your requirements (normally within working weeks).

Weekdays generally 1 to 2 hours.
