Hi Run
personally I find these pole and tape/rope barriers a pain and am always
walking into them, the stainless steel pole type which are becoming more
popular tend to become invisible under certain light conditions and the
lack of lower rail does not provide warning for cane users or those who
tend to rely on bumping their toe against a barrier.
Regards
Dave
