What is plastic barrier chain used for?

It is the lightweight chain you string between cones, posts, or magnet rings to mark off an area or guide a line, without the weight or cost of metal chain. Because it is plastic, it will not rust, it is easy to cut to length, and a person can carry a long run of it in one hand. You see it closing parking spaces, roping off wet floors and work zones, forming queues, and marking keep out areas indoors and out.

What do the link sizes mean, and which do I need?

The number is the size of each link, and bigger links read as a heavier, more serious barrier. The 1.5 inch chain is fine for light indoor use and short runs. The 2 inch is the everyday all rounder for parking lots and work zones, and the most popular size. The 3 inch is the big, bold link for a long run or a spot where you want the barrier to really stand out. They all do the same job, so size up if you want more presence or a longer distance to cover.

How is it sold, and does the color matter?

It comes in cut lengths and on reels and pails, from 50 feet up to 500 feet, so you can buy a short piece or a big spool for a whole lot. Color is a real tool, not just looks: it runs from safety orange and yellow for hazards to red for stop and more colors for color coding zones or matching a property. Measure the distance you need to span, add a little slack, and pick the color that fits the message.
