Plastic Chain – 6mm, 8mm and 10mm

Create visible barriers with a lightweight PVC plastic chain. Use it to guide people, restrict access or mark temporary safety zones. The chain works well in warehouses, car parks, shops, schools, events and public spaces.

Choose from 6mm, 8mm or 10mm. Each thickness has its own roll length and colour options. You can combine the chain with connectors and posts to create a complete barrier system. View our plastic chains and accessories to find the matching parts.

Choose the Right Plastic Chain

The best thickness depends on the location and how frequently you will use the barrier. A thinner chain is lighter and more flexible. A thicker chain creates a more substantial barrier for busy areas.

Colours depend on the selected thickness. Choose the thickness first to view the matching colour options and current plastic chain price.

6mm Plastic Chain for Light Barriers

The 6mm plastic chain is the lightest option in the range. It comes on a 50-metre roll and is easy to handle, cut and reposition.

Use it for:

• Queues and customer guidance
• Temporary indoor barriers
• Schools and public buildings
• Shops and events
• Light access control

Choose from red and white, black and yellow, or solid yellow.

8mm Plastic Chain for General Use

The 8mm plastic chain offers a practical balance between flexibility and visibility. It also comes on a 50-metre roll. This makes it suitable for longer barriers and regular use.

Common applications include:

• Warehouses and loading areas
• Car parks
• Pedestrian routes
• Events and crowd control
• Workplace safety zones
• Restricted areas

The available colours are red and white, black and yellow, and solid yellow.

10mm Plastic Chain for More Demanding Areas

The 10mm plastic chain is the thickest option. Its larger links create a more substantial visual barrier in busy or exposed locations. Each roll contains 25 metres.

Use this option around:

• Construction and maintenance areas
• Industrial workplaces
• Traffic routes
• Outdoor access points
• Busy public spaces
• Larger temporary barriers

The 10mm version is available in red and white or orange and black.

Visible PVC Plastic Chain Colours

A contrasting colour combination helps people recognise a boundary quickly. Select a colour that suits the surroundings and the type of area you need to mark.

• Red and white creates a clear, general-purpose barrier.
• Black and yellow stands out around workplace hazards and restricted areas.
• Solid yellow provides a highly visible boundary.
• Orange and black suits construction, maintenance and traffic environments.

Not every colour is available in every thickness. Check the variation options before ordering your plastic chain roll.

Where Can You Use a Plastic Barrier Chain?

Plastic chain creates a visible boundary without the weight and maintenance of a metal chain. You can install it temporarily or leave it in place where you need a flexible barrier.

Typical applications include:

• Crowd control and queue management
• Car parks and traffic areas
• Warehouses and loading zones
• Walkways and pedestrian routes
• Schools and public facilities
• Events and sports grounds
• Construction and maintenance zones
• Areas with restricted access

You can quickly adjust the length or move the setup when the layout changes. Explore our other safety products for additional workplace, parking and access-control solutions.

Benefits of PVC Plastic Chain

PVC chain provides a practical solution when you need a visible barrier rather than a permanent fence.

Main benefits include:

• Lightweight and easy to handle
• Simple to cut to the required length
• Quick to install and reposition
• Suitable for indoor and outdoor use
• Resistant to sunlight and changing weather conditions
• Rust-free and easy to maintain
• Available in visible colour combinations
• Smooth links for comfortable handling

The chain is designed for marking boundaries and guiding movement. Do not use it for lifting, towing, fall protection or securing valuable items.

Complete Your Plastic Chain Barrier

Attach the chain with a plastic chain connector. The connector fits the 6mm, 8mm and 10mm versions. It lets you attach, remove or adjust the chain without complex tools.

Install the chain between flexible barrier posts to create a freestanding system. The 75cm posts are available in black and orange. Their reflective stripes improve visibility, while the flexible construction allows each post to bend after an impact.

The number of posts and connectors you need depends on the total barrier length and layout.
