Keep People off the Grass with Trip Rails

We’ve all seen signs on well-kept lawns and parks outside buildings with the message “Keep off the Grass” as tempting as the grass looks to sit on or cut across a sign is asking people to respect the grass and the sign, while there is no physical deterrent it is almost a challenge to the person walking by.

Signs like “keep off the grass” are easier to enforce with the use of trip rails. Trip rails are rails that tend to be about the height of an adults knee or lower and can line either a grassed area or a planted area to help to deter people from walking on the grass or trampling a planted area. Trip rails by their nature are not a feature like a full fence and gate but such rather a rail that prevents someone from easily passing it but in itself is not really noticed. It also means passers-by can enjoy the park or area without a physical barrier to it.

Trip rails tend to have a simple design, fabricated from either circular or rectangular hollow sections, linked together through regular posts, they can be rendered in a number of colours and finials can be added to improve the look of them. The majority of them are steel trip rails as this material is suitable to withstand weathering and easily rendered in which ever covering is needed

Trip rails from Alpharail are a good idea because the rail can be designed to the area you want to use it; this means if the area you want to protect is an awkward shape or is really long, Alpharail can create a rail that is suitable for this purpose.
