The Barrier Sleeve was designed to make the job of erecting and dismantling temporary fencing extremely easier for those in need of a quick barrier for different projects or events. This innovative patented product is gaining popularity in the fields of construction, sporting events, ski resorts, outdoor tournaments, and other areas where crowd control and safety are a big need.
R.K. Products is in the first year of a 20 year patent with this product and is excited with the positive feedback it has received and reorders from various sales in a number of different markets.
Erecting barrier fencing can be a labor intensive job using traditional methods with wire and zip ties. Using these age old methods damages the fence and leaves the user with a “one time” barrier, not to mention the labor of fixing and sewing torn areas damaged by the wire and zip ties.
The Barrier Sleeve eliminates these problems and leaves the user with a barrier fence that can be used over and over again. The sleeves are made of a high density polyethylene material and R.K. has added an ultra violet inhibitor to withstand damage from the sun. The sleeves are made with three clips and slide directly over metal t-post to create an easy to use hanger for barrier fencing. The clips are designed for quick and easy fastening.  "It is important to note that when using T-post we ask the user to have the bottom of the T facing the installer with a slight turn counterclockwise (approx 5 o'clock). This will ensure ease of inserting clip".This process streamlines the traditional method and actually leaves the user with the option of leaving the sleeves on the fence during breakdown for even easier erection on the next job.

The Barrier Sleeve

 The Barrier Sleeve is a fence post sleeve designed to allow the quick and easy erection of a temporary fencing structure without the use of installation tools. The fence post sleeve is a generally tubular structure having three clips equally spaced that easily attach to temporary fencing. The fence post sleeve is designed to cooperate with a number of common fence posts and various styles of temporary fencing. "It is important to note that when using T-post we ask the user to have the bottom of the T facing the installer with a slight turn counterclockwise (approx 5 o'clock). This will ensure ease of inserting clip".  The clips secure flexible barrier fencing to the fence post sleeve, and thus the fence post. The fence post sleeve is particularly useful in the installation of construction fencing and other forms of temporary barrier fencing. The erection of a temporary fence, like one used at a construction site or carnival, can be an expensive and difficult task. It is frequently accomplished by installation of posts or some other mountable material, such as rebar, followed by the labor intensive task of manually attaching flexible barrier fencing to the posts via cables or ties, usually requiring special tools or equipment. When the temporary fence is no longer needed, the user normally dismantles it by tearing away the fencing material from the posts, creating tears in the fence where it was attached to the post. This process presents multiple efficiency problems. One problem is the fact that this method of installation requires a significant amount of manpower and time to erect the temporary fence, due to the requirement that the cable or ties must be individually installed. Additionally, this inefficient method requires destruction of the flexible barrier fencing in order to break down the temporary fence.
