Absolute Freestanding Barrier Instructions

Instructions – Freestanding Barrier – 400mm & 1000mm
Barriers are supplied with an Allen Key for assembly.
GREY, WHITE, BLACK FREESTANDING 400mm
1. Assemble the barrier by removing the bolt from the end of the upright, check that the washer is on the bolt and put
it through the hole of the base plate and into the end of the upright. Tighten securely with the Allen Key provided.
2. Place the barriers in position to protect the artwork allowing 1.5 to 2 metres between each. Be sure to check the
cord does not 'droop' between barriers.
3. Remove the top caps using your finger or a small screwdriver and tie a simple 'granny' knot in the end of the
elasticated cord. Pull it very tight and cut off any excess cord close to the knot.
Push the knot into the recess in the top of the upright with the cord exiting through one of the slots and replace the

cap.
5. Pull the cord tight to the next barrier with enough tension to make a straight line and push into the slots: straight
across if it is a straight line or at right angles if it is at a corner.
6. Repeat step 4 for the last barrier or use a wall terminator.
Note: In an installation where the object is completely surrounded, instead of two separate knots tie the two ends
together with a reef knot, pull very tight and cut off the ends. If required cut off one of the cap legs to
accommodate the size of this knot. A line of barriers can also end with the cord returning to the wall by using a
wall terminator.
STAINLESS STEEL 400mm
1. Assemble the barrier by placing the stainless steel cover over the heavy black baseplate.
2. Remove the bolt from the end of the upright, fit the washer onto the bolt and place it through the central hole of
the base plate and cover and into the end of the upright. Tighten securely with the Allen Key provided.
3. Place the barriers in position to protect the artwork allowing 1.5 to 2 metres between each. For the best result be
sure to check that the cord does not 'droop' between barriers.
4. When you have the desired layout, lift up the top cap until there is a gap large enough to insert the cord.
5. Insert the end of the cord into the space under the cap and wrap the cord around the stem once or twice and out
through one of the slots. Hold the cord in place and push the cap down until you hear a click.
6. For intermediate barriers, pull the cord tight to the next barrier with enough tension to make a straight line and
feed the cord in through one slot, around the cap stem and out through the appropriate slot. Straight through for a
line of barriers and ninety degrees at a corner.
7. Repeat step 5 for the last barrier or use a wall terminator. When the layout is complete, make sure all caps are
pushed down correctly so that the cord is secure on the top of the barrier.
Note: In an installation where the object is completely surrounded, repeat step 5 with both cord ends. In this instance
it is only necessary to wrap once around the stem. A line of barriers can also end with the cord returning to the wall by
using a wall terminator.
