1m Black Steel Cafe Barrier with Double-Sided Custom Graphic Print
This cafe barrier does two jobs at once. It defines your outdoor seating area with a clean, professional perimeter, and it turns that perimeter into branded advertising space visible from both directions. The kit includes two powder-coated black steel posts on wide 350mm bases, two 1000mm crossbars and a double-sided custom polyester graphic printed with your artwork in full colour. It is wind-rated to 25km/h, assembles without tools in around five minutes and carries a 1-year guarantee. One person sets it up. Your customers see your branding, your logo or your latest offer on both sides.
Custom printing is included. Place your order, receive your artwork template and design guide, prepare your design and send it back. Your printed barrier is dispatched within 3 to 5 working days of artwork approval.
Why a Branded Cafe Barrier Earns More Than a Plain One
- Double-sided custom graphic included: Your logo, brand colours, daily specials or promotional messaging printed in full colour on both sides of a durable polyester banner. Passers-by see your branding whether they approach from the left or the right. Every barrier becomes a permanent advertisement at pavement level.
- Powder-coated black steel construction: The matte black finish suits modern cafe interiors and street-facing exteriors alike. Powder coating resists chipping, scratching and weathering, so the barrier looks professional season after season without repainting or replacement.
- 350mm wide weighted bases: The wide steel bases keep the barrier stable and upright in normal outdoor conditions without additional weighting or floor fixings. The barrier is wind-rated to 25km/h, which covers the vast majority of UK trading conditions.
- Tool-free assembly in 5 minutes: One person, no tools, no instruction manual. Slot the crossbars into the posts, attach the printed banner and you are open for business. Pack it down just as quickly at the end of the day or when conditions change.
- Modular and expandable: Each kit creates one barrier section. Buy additional kits to extend the perimeter as far as you need, or use the 1.5m wide version to cover more frontage with fewer sections. The same posts and crossbars connect section to section, so your branded boundary can wrap around a terrace, line a queue or section off a private dining area.
- 1-year guarantee: The steel frame and hardware are guaranteed for 12 months, giving you confidence that this is a commercial-grade product built for daily outdoor use rather than a single-season accessory.
Where Businesses Use Branded Cafe Barriers
| Cafes and Coffee Shops | Define your outdoor seating area and turn every barrier panel into street-level advertising for your brand, your menu or your daily specials. The black steel finish suits both contemporary high-street cafes and traditional independent coffee shops. |
| Restaurants and Al Fresco Dining | Create a defined, inviting dining terrace that separates your guests from the pavement. The branded panels give the space an enclosed, purposeful feel that encourages customers to sit outside rather than walk past. |
| Pubs, Bars and Beer Gardens | Section off outdoor drinking areas, smoking zones or private event spaces. The double-sided print means your branding is visible to customers inside the perimeter and to passers-by outside it. |
| Hotels and Hospitality Venues | Define outdoor breakfast areas, terrace dining zones and guest reception spaces. The powder-coated black finish provides the understated, commercial-grade look that hospitality environments demand. |
| Queue Management and Event Spaces | Direct foot traffic, manage queues and create branded walkways at events, festivals, pop-ups and public venues. The quick assembly means you can set up and reconfigure the layout in minutes as crowd flow changes. |
| Retail Frontages and Pavement Displays | Extend your brand presence beyond the shop window onto the pavement. A branded barrier creates a visual boundary that draws attention to your storefront and gives pedestrians a reason to stop and look. |

The Displaysense Black Steel Cafe Barrier with Double-Sided Custom Graphic Print (1m) is an outdoor-rated cafe barrier system with a powder-coated black steel frame, two posts on 350mm wide steel bases, two 1000mm crossbars and a double-sided custom polyester graphic print. Wind-rated to 25km/h. Tool-free assembly in approximately 5 minutes by one person. 1-year guarantee. Custom printing included in the price. Modular system, expandable by adding additional kits. Suitable for cafes, restaurants, pubs, bars, hotels, queue management, events and retail frontages. Also available in 1.5m width and chrome finish. Displaysense, UK display product specialists since 1978.
Most cafe barriers are functional. They mark where the seating area starts and the pavement begins. This one does that and then keeps working. The double-sided custom polyester graphic turns every barrier panel into street-level advertising for your brand, visible to pedestrians approaching from both directions. Your logo, your colours, your daily offer or your menu highlights are printed in full colour and displayed at exactly the height where people walking past naturally look. It is the kind of advertising that runs every hour you are open without a recurring cost.
The Black Steel Cafe Barrier is built from powder-coated steel with a matte black finish that suits both modern high-street frontages and traditional independent venues. For a polished metallic look, the same system is available in chrome. The wide 350mm bases provide stability without floor fixings, and the system is wind-rated to 25km/h, which covers standard UK trading conditions. One person assembles it in around five minutes without tools. At the end of the day, it packs down just as quickly for storage or to clear the pavement outside trading hours.
The system is modular. Each kit creates one barrier section between two posts. Buy additional kits to extend the perimeter around a terrace, along a queue line or across a storefront. The posts and crossbars connect section to section, and the printed polyester panels can carry the same branding across every section or feature different messaging on each one. That flexibility is what makes it useful for businesses that run seasonal promotions, daily specials or event-specific branding alongside a permanent logo panel.
When your branding changes or you need a different message for a new season, get in touch with our team to arrange replacement printed panels for the same steel frame. The hardware is built for years of daily outdoor use and carries a 1-year guarantee. Only the graphic needs updating.
What is Included in the 1m Cafe Barrier Kit
- 2 x powder-coated black steel posts with 350mm wide bases
- 2 x 1000mm crossbars
- 1 x double-sided custom polyester graphic print
- 1-year guarantee on frame and hardware

Frequently Asked Questions About the 1m Black Steel Cafe Barrier
Q: What is included in the kit?
A: Each kit includes 2 powder-coated black steel posts with 350mm wide bases, 2 x 1000mm crossbars and 1 double-sided custom polyester graphic printed with your artwork in full colour. Everything you need for one complete barrier section.
Q: Is the custom printing included in the price?
A: Yes. Double-sided full-colour custom printing on polyester is included. You supply your artwork and we print it on both sides of the banner. There is no separate charge for the print.
Q: Can I have different artwork on each side of the banner?
A: Yes. The banner is printed double-sided, and you can use different designs on each face. For example, your logo and brand colours on the side facing the street, and your menu highlights or daily specials on the side facing your seated customers.
Q: How many kits do I need for my terrace?
A: Each kit creates one barrier section between two posts. For a straight run, each additional kit extends the perimeter by one section. To work out the right number for your space, measure the total length you need to cover and divide by approximately 1.3m (the banner width plus the post widths). Contact our team for help with layout planning on larger setups.
Q: Is this barrier suitable for outdoor use all year round?
A: The barrier is designed for daily outdoor use during trading hours and is wind-rated to 25km/h, which covers normal UK conditions. We recommend bringing it indoors or folding it down during severe weather, storms or high winds to protect the printed banner and maximise the working life of the frame.
Q: Does it need to be fixed to the ground?
A: No. The wide 350mm steel bases provide freestanding stability without floor fixings, bolts or additional weighting. The barrier is designed to be set up and taken down daily, which makes it practical for venues that need to clear the pavement outside trading hours.
Q: How quickly can one person set it up?
A: Approximately 5 minutes. Slot the crossbars into the posts, attach the printed banner and you are open. No tools required. Packing down takes the same amount of time.
Q: Can I get replacement printed banners when my branding changes?
A: Yes. The steel frame is built for years of daily use. When you need new branding, a seasonal promotion or a different message, get in touch with our team to arrange a new printed polyester banner for the same frame.
Q: What is the difference between the 1m and 1.5m versions?
A: The banner width. The 1m version suits narrower frontages and tighter terraces where each section needs to fit between street furniture, doorways or planters. The 1.5m version provides more graphic area and covers wider spaces with fewer sections. Both use the same post and base design.
Q: Is a chrome finish available?
A: Yes. The same barrier system is available in a polished chrome finish for venues where a metallic look is preferred over matte black. The chrome version uses the same posts, crossbars and printed banner format.
Q: How long does production take?
A: 3 to 5 working days from the point your artwork is approved. Free standard UK delivery follows. Contact us if you need to coordinate delivery timing for multi-kit orders or a specific opening date.
Q: Can I use these barriers indoors for queue management or event spaces?
A: Yes. The branded barrier works just as well indoors for managing queues, creating walkways, sectioning off event areas or defining branded zones at exhibitions, festivals and corporate events. The tool-free assembly means you can reconfigure the layout in minutes as requirements change.

1m Black Steel Cafe Barrier with Double-Sided Custom Graphic Print
This cafe barrier does two jobs at once. It defines your outdoor seating area with a clean, professional perimeter, and it turns that perimeter into branded advertising space visible from both directions. The kit includes two powder-coated black steel posts on wide 350mm bases, two 1000mm crossbars and a double-sided custom polyester graphic printed with your artwork in full colour. It is wind-rated to 25km/h, assembles without tools in around five minutes and carries a 1-year guarantee. One person sets it up. Your customers see your branding, your logo or your latest offer on both sides.
Custom printing is included. Place your order, receive your artwork template and design guide, prepare your design and send it back. Your printed barrier is dispatched within 3 to 5 working days of artwork approval.
Why a Branded Cafe Barrier Earns More Than a Plain One
- Double-sided custom graphic included: Your logo, brand colours, daily specials or promotional messaging printed in full colour on both sides of a durable polyester banner. Passers-by see your branding whether they approach from the left or the right. Every barrier becomes a permanent advertisement at pavement level.
- Powder-coated black steel construction: The matte black finish suits modern cafe interiors and street-facing exteriors alike. Powder coating resists chipping, scratching and weathering, so the barrier looks professional season after season without repainting or replacement.
- 350mm wide weighted bases: The wide steel bases keep the barrier stable and upright in normal outdoor conditions without additional weighting or floor fixings. The barrier is wind-rated to 25km/h, which covers the vast majority of UK trading conditions.
- Tool-free assembly in 5 minutes: One person, no tools, no instruction manual. Slot the crossbars into the posts, attach the printed banner and you are open for business. Pack it down just as quickly at the end of the day or when conditions change.
- Modular and expandable: Each kit creates one barrier section. Buy additional kits to extend the perimeter as far as you need, or use the 1.5m wide version to cover more frontage with fewer sections. The same posts and crossbars connect section to section, so your branded boundary can wrap around a terrace, line a queue or section off a private dining area.
- 1-year guarantee: The steel frame and hardware are guaranteed for 12 months, giving you confidence that this is a commercial-grade product built for daily outdoor use rather than a single-season accessory.
Where Businesses Use Branded Cafe Barriers
| Cafes and Coffee Shops | Define your outdoor seating area and turn every barrier panel into street-level advertising for your brand, your menu or your daily specials. The black steel finish suits both contemporary high-street cafes and traditional independent coffee shops. |
| Restaurants and Al Fresco Dining | Create a defined, inviting dining terrace that separates your guests from the pavement. The branded panels give the space an enclosed, purposeful feel that encourages customers to sit outside rather than walk past. |
| Pubs, Bars and Beer Gardens | Section off outdoor drinking areas, smoking zones or private event spaces. The double-sided print means your branding is visible to customers inside the perimeter and to passers-by outside it. |
| Hotels and Hospitality Venues | Define outdoor breakfast areas, terrace dining zones and guest reception spaces. The powder-coated black finish provides the understated, commercial-grade look that hospitality environments demand. |
| Queue Management and Event Spaces | Direct foot traffic, manage queues and create branded walkways at events, festivals, pop-ups and public venues. The quick assembly means you can set up and reconfigure the layout in minutes as crowd flow changes. |
| Retail Frontages and Pavement Displays | Extend your brand presence beyond the shop window onto the pavement. A branded barrier creates a visual boundary that draws attention to your storefront and gives pedestrians a reason to stop and look. |

The Displaysense Black Steel Cafe Barrier with Double-Sided Custom Graphic Print (1m) is an outdoor-rated cafe barrier system with a powder-coated black steel frame, two posts on 350mm wide steel bases, two 1000mm crossbars and a double-sided custom polyester graphic print. Wind-rated to 25km/h. Tool-free assembly in approximately 5 minutes by one person. 1-year guarantee. Custom printing included in the price. Modular system, expandable by adding additional kits. Suitable for cafes, restaurants, pubs, bars, hotels, queue management, events and retail frontages. Also available in 1.5m width and chrome finish. Displaysense, UK display product specialists since 1978.
Most cafe barriers are functional. They mark where the seating area starts and the pavement begins. This one does that and then keeps working. The double-sided custom polyester graphic turns every barrier panel into street-level advertising for your brand, visible to pedestrians approaching from both directions. Your logo, your colours, your daily offer or your menu highlights are printed in full colour and displayed at exactly the height where people walking past naturally look. It is the kind of advertising that runs every hour you are open without a recurring cost.
The Black Steel Cafe Barrier is built from powder-coated steel with a matte black finish that suits both modern high-street frontages and traditional independent venues. For a polished metallic look, the same system is available in chrome. The wide 350mm bases provide stability without floor fixings, and the system is wind-rated to 25km/h, which covers standard UK trading conditions. One person assembles it in around five minutes without tools. At the end of the day, it packs down just as quickly for storage or to clear the pavement outside trading hours.
The system is modular. Each kit creates one barrier section between two posts. Buy additional kits to extend the perimeter around a terrace, along a queue line or across a storefront. The posts and crossbars connect section to section, and the printed polyester panels can carry the same branding across every section or feature different messaging on each one. That flexibility is what makes it useful for businesses that run seasonal promotions, daily specials or event-specific branding alongside a permanent logo panel.
When your branding changes or you need a different message for a new season, get in touch with our team to arrange replacement printed panels for the same steel frame. The hardware is built for years of daily outdoor use and carries a 1-year guarantee. Only the graphic needs updating.
What is Included in the 1m Cafe Barrier Kit
- 2 x powder-coated black steel posts with 350mm wide bases
- 2 x 1000mm crossbars
- 1 x double-sided custom polyester graphic print
- 1-year guarantee on frame and hardware

Frequently Asked Questions About the 1m Black Steel Cafe Barrier
Q: What is included in the kit?
A: Each kit includes 2 powder-coated black steel posts with 350mm wide bases, 2 x 1000mm crossbars and 1 double-sided custom polyester graphic printed with your artwork in full colour. Everything you need for one complete barrier section.
Q: Is the custom printing included in the price?
A: Yes. Double-sided full-colour custom printing on polyester is included. You supply your artwork and we print it on both sides of the banner. There is no separate charge for the print.
Q: Can I have different artwork on each side of the banner?
A: Yes. The banner is printed double-sided, and you can use different designs on each face. For example, your logo and brand colours on the side facing the street, and your menu highlights or daily specials on the side facing your seated customers.
Q: How many kits do I need for my terrace?
A: Each kit creates one barrier section between two posts. For a straight run, each additional kit extends the perimeter by one section. To work out the right number for your space, measure the total length you need to cover and divide by approximately 1.3m (the banner width plus the post widths). Contact our team for help with layout planning on larger setups.
Q: Is this barrier suitable for outdoor use all year round?
A: The barrier is designed for daily outdoor use during trading hours and is wind-rated to 25km/h, which covers normal UK conditions. We recommend bringing it indoors or folding it down during severe weather, storms or high winds to protect the printed banner and maximise the working life of the frame.
Q: Does it need to be fixed to the ground?
A: No. The wide 350mm steel bases provide freestanding stability without floor fixings, bolts or additional weighting. The barrier is designed to be set up and taken down daily, which makes it practical for venues that need to clear the pavement outside trading hours.
Q: How quickly can one person set it up?
A: Approximately 5 minutes. Slot the crossbars into the posts, attach the printed banner and you are open. No tools required. Packing down takes the same amount of time.
Q: Can I get replacement printed banners when my branding changes?
A: Yes. The steel frame is built for years of daily use. When you need new branding, a seasonal promotion or a different message, get in touch with our team to arrange a new printed polyester banner for the same frame.
Q: What is the difference between the 1m and 1.5m versions?
A: The banner width. The 1m version suits narrower frontages and tighter terraces where each section needs to fit between street furniture, doorways or planters. The 1.5m version provides more graphic area and covers wider spaces with fewer sections. Both use the same post and base design.
Q: Is a chrome finish available?
A: Yes. The same barrier system is available in a polished chrome finish for venues where a metallic look is preferred over matte black. The chrome version uses the same posts, crossbars and printed banner format.
Q: How long does production take?
A: 3 to 5 working days from the point your artwork is approved. Free standard UK delivery follows. Contact us if you need to coordinate delivery timing for multi-kit orders or a specific opening date.
Q: Can I use these barriers indoors for queue management or event spaces?
A: Yes. The branded barrier works just as well indoors for managing queues, creating walkways, sectioning off event areas or defining branded zones at exhibitions, festivals and corporate events. The tool-free assembly means you can reconfigure the layout in minutes as requirements change.
