A crowd control barrier is a set of stand-alone half height skirts. These are typically used to define a workspace or relaxation area. The barriers also provide a great place for signage.

Continuous half skirts travel across the vertical support poles. The skirts are joined by zippers at the poles. The “Gary Fisher” skirt in the photo is a continuous skirt.

Individual half skirts hang from the 1/2 height horizontal poles between the vertical support poles. The “Saab” skirt in the photo is an individual skirt.

Bally Curtains are a term sometimes used in the industry for Half Height Skirts.

Please see “Half Height Skirts”. For years we used the term “privacy skirts” to identify the 1/2 height skirts installed around the perimeter of a canopy. In an effort to be more descriptive and less confusing we will now refer to the lower 1/2 skirts as “Half Height” skirts.

Half height skirts create a perimeter barrier while allowing visibility into the canopy. These skirts can be individual or continuous. Individual skirts hang separately between each vertical support pole. Continuous skirts are connected with zippers and hide the vertical support poles. Half height skirts are sometimes referred to as “privacy skirts”, ”pony walls” or ”bally curtains”.

The soil skirt is a 10″ to 15″ vinyl piece sewn onto the bottom of a full skirt or privacy skirt. It is intended to lay an inch or two on the ground to prevent dirt from blowing into the canopy. It also reduces wear on the skirts. Soil skirts are typically black but can be blue, white, grey or red.

A window is a cut-out in a full skirt, usually filled with clear vinyl. Windows are either rectangular, rounded rectangular or domed. A standard window is permanently sewn in but, can be ordered with zippers along the top and down both sides. Other options include interior roll-up covers, faux panes, solid Lexan and tinting.

Full skirts are used on “Fully Enclosed” canopies and could be considered walls. They zip to the interior of the valance and hang down to the ground. Typically full skirts are built in sections with zipper connections in two places along the face and 2 places on each end. Each of the sections can be rolled up or removed for access.
