White Plastic Spiked Post

This White Plastic Spike Post is ideal for creating borders and boundaries in the garden, park, sports field or any setting with soft ground. The post has a thin ground-spike allowing it it to be pushed firmly into the soil making it steady and stable. The cap has two lugs allowing chain or rope to be attached making it a simple option for keeping people off flower beds, lawns, fields or muddy areas.

Our white plastic spiked posts provide a robust, weather-resistant solution for creating permanent and semi-permanent barrier systems across car parks, events, retail spaces, and security applications. Designed to work seamlessly with plastic chain barriers, these ground spike posts eliminate the need for concrete footings or heavy bases, making installation quick, cost-effective, and reversible.

Available in two practical heights to suit different applications, each white barrier post comes complete with a dual-lug cap designed for secure chain attachment, ensuring your barrier system remains stable and professional-looking even in high-traffic environments.

When to Use Ground Spike Posts

Ground spike posts excel in applications where you need secure barrier installation without permanent ground works or expensive concrete foundations. The 28cm spike penetrates soft ground, grass, soil, or compacted earth to create stable fixing points that resist lateral movement whilst remaining removable when your requirements change.

These spike posts for barriers are particularly valuable for seasonal installations, temporary security perimeters, or situations where reversible installation is essential. Unlike surface-mounted posts that require drilling or weighted bases that can be moved or stolen, ground spike posts anchor securely whilst maintaining a clean, professional appearance without visible base plates.

Event managers choose white plastic chain posts for festivals, outdoor exhibitions, and temporary venues where rapid deployment and removal are critical. The spike design allows installation directly into grassed areas or open ground without damaging underground services or creating permanent alterations to the site.

Car park operators and facilities managers deploy these barrier posts for creating parking bay delimitation, protecting landscaped areas, or restricting access to maintenance zones. The white colour provides excellent visibility for drivers, particularly in low-light conditions, whilst the spike fixing ensures posts remain upright despite accidental vehicle contact or high winds.

Installation Guide and Ground Conditions

Installing white plastic spiked posts requires minimal tools and expertise, making them accessible for contractors, maintenance teams, and event staff alike. Begin by marking out post positions along your intended barrier line, typically spacing posts 2-3 metres apart depending on chain weight and required sag resistance.

For optimal installation, ensure ground conditions are suitable for spike penetration. The posts perform best in:

• Grass and lawn areas - ideal spike conditions with good holding power
• Garden beds and soft soil - excellent penetration and stability
• Compacted earth - secure fixing with moderate installation effort
• Verges and planted areas - natural integration with landscaping

For harder ground conditions, pre-drilling a pilot hole slightly smaller than the spike diameter facilitates easier installation whilst maintaining secure holding power. Use a rubber mallet to drive the spike fully into the ground until the post base sits flush with the surface, ensuring maximum stability and professional appearance.

The dual-lug cap design allows chain attachment on either side of the post, enabling straight-line barriers, corner configurations, or branching layouts. Simply loop your plastic chain through the appropriate lug and connect using standard chain connectors to create continuous barrier runs that resist sagging and maintain consistent height.

Applications for 60cm and 100cm Heights

60cm White Barrier Posts

The 60cm height (approximately 2 feet) is specifically designed for applications where low-level delimitation is required without creating excessive visual barriers. This shorter profile works exceptionally well for:

Car Park Applications: Define parking bays, protect landscape islands, and create pedestrian walkways whilst maintaining driver visibility and manoeuvrability. The lower height reduces visual clutter whilst still providing effective physical boundaries.

Retail and Commercial Spaces: Create queue management systems, protect displays, and guide customer flow in shops, garden centres, and commercial premises. The unobtrusive height prevents the barrier system from dominating the space whilst still effectively managing foot traffic.

Garden and Landscaping Protection: Protect newly seeded areas, flower beds, and ornamental gardens from foot traffic whilst allowing the landscaping to remain the focal point. The white posts complement garden aesthetics whilst providing necessary protection during establishment phases.

Pathway Delimitation: Define walking routes through parks, estates, and public spaces without creating oppressive barriers that limit sight lines or reduce the sense of openness.

100cm White Barrier Posts

The 100cm height (approximately 3 feet 3 inches) provides enhanced visibility and security for applications requiring more prominent barrier systems:

Crowd Control and Events: Create secure perimeters at festivals, concerts, exhibitions, and public events where clear boundaries must be established and maintained throughout the duration. The increased height discourages casual crossing whilst maintaining visibility for security monitoring.

Security Perimeters: Establish restricted zones around construction sites, maintenance areas, or hazardous locations where accidental entry could result in injury or security breaches. The higher profile ensures the barrier is immediately obvious to approaching personnel.

Property Boundaries: Define property lines, protect vehicle compounds, or create secure storage areas where visual deterrence is as important as physical delimitation. The 100cm height creates a significant psychological barrier whilst avoiding the expense and permanence of fencing.

High-Traffic Public Spaces: Deploy in pedestrian areas, transportation hubs, or busy commercial zones where barriers must remain visible above typical crowd heights and withstand accidental impacts from bags, pushchairs, and distracted pedestrians.

Weather Resistance and Durability

Manufactured from high-grade UV-resistant plastic, these white plastic posts maintain structural integrity and appearance despite continuous outdoor exposure. The specialist material formulation prevents the common degradation issues that affect inferior plastic products, including:

UV Degradation: Colourfast pigmentation resists fading, yellowing, and brittleness caused by prolonged sun exposure, ensuring your barrier system maintains a professional white appearance season after season.

Temperature Extremes: The plastic formulation remains flexible in cold conditions whilst retaining rigidity in summer heat, operating reliably across typical UK temperature ranges without cracking or warping.

Moisture Resistance: Non-porous construction prevents water absorption that causes swelling, rotting, or freeze-thaw damage. Posts remain dimensionally stable whether installed in wet grassland, exposed to rain, or subjected to ground moisture.

Impact Resistance: The resilient plastic construction withstands accidental impacts from vehicles, maintenance equipment, or event furniture without shattering or permanently deforming, maintaining barrier integrity throughout demanding use.

Unlike timber posts that rot, split, and require toxic preservative treatments, or metal posts that rust, corrode, and conduct electricity, these plastic spike posts deliver maintenance-free performance that reduces lifecycle costs whilst eliminating environmental concerns associated with treated timber or corroded metal entering the soil.

Creating Complete Barrier Systems

White plastic spiked posts form the foundation of flexible barrier systems that can be customised to meet specific security, crowd control, or delimitation requirements. Combine these ground spike posts with complementary products to create professional installations:

Plastic Chain Options: Select from decorative chains for low-security guidance applications, heavy-duty chains for robust barriers, or spiked security chains for enhanced deterrent effect. The white posts coordinate effectively with all chain colours and styles.

Chain Accessories: Use appropriate connectors, hooks, and joining links to create continuous barrier runs, corner configurations, or adjustable layouts that can be reconfigured as requirements change.

Mixed Height Layouts: Combine 60cm and 100cm posts strategically to create tiered visibility where certain sections require enhanced prominence whilst maintaining lower profiles in other areas.

Signage Integration: Attach warning signs, directional markers, or information boards to create informative barrier systems that guide behaviour whilst clearly communicating restrictions or instructions.

The modular nature of spike post barrier systems allows you to start with essential components and expand or reconfigure as your needs evolve, making them a cost-effective alternative to permanent fencing or expensive modular barrier systems.

Advantages Over Alternative Fixing Methods

Ground spike posts offer distinct advantages compared to other barrier post mounting systems:

Versus Weighted Base Posts:

• No bases to trip over or obstruct mowing equipment
• Cannot be moved by strong winds or deliberate tampering
• No storage space required for heavy base plates
• Cleaner aesthetic with no visible ground-level components

Versus Concrete-Fixed Posts:

• Completely reversible installation leaves no permanent alterations
• No concrete costs, waiting for curing, or specialist equipment
• Posts can be relocated to different positions as requirements change
• Suitable for rented properties or temporary sites

Versus Surface-Mounted Posts:

• No drilling required in paved surfaces
• Eliminates trip hazards from surface-mounted base plates
• No damage to paving, tarmac, or decorative surfaces
• Easier removal without leaving fixing holes or mounting points

Maintenance and Longevity

White plastic spiked posts require minimal maintenance to deliver years of reliable service. The non-porous plastic surface resists dirt accumulation and can be cleaned easily using water and standard detergents when required to maintain pristine appearance.

Periodic inspection ensures posts remain fully driven into the ground and chains remain properly secured to the dual-lug caps. In areas with very soft soil or heavy rainfall, occasional re-seating may be necessary to maintain optimal post verticality and barrier tension.

The spike posts can be removed and stored during off-seasons or when barriers are not required, extending service life and preventing unnecessary weathering. When properly maintained, these posts provide cost-effective barrier solutions for five or more years of regular use.
