Transform your barriers with modular anti-gawk screens

Water filled barriers are a key part of any work site. Tough, sturdy and seriously heavy, they serve to protect workers from vehicles – and protect the public from the work zone.

However, sometimes contractors need both the weight of a water filled barrier and the security of a higher temporary fencing panel. If you need to create privacy and additional security on your site, it’s not practical to use both a water filled barrier as well as a temporary fence – plus, you’d be forking out for an unnecessary cost.

So what’s the solution? How do you get a water filled barrier with a fence panel in one unit? Well, conveniently, Jaybro offers just that!

Fence panels to fit longitudinal barriers

Jaybro’s Fortress Fencing barrier team report that customers using water filled longitudinal barriers often buy anti-gawk panels as well. Ordering proprietary panels that are specifically made to fit your crash barriers is a good move, as you can guarantee everything will fit together properly on site.

On the other hand, trying to hack together incompatible fencing to make it fit onto your barriers is just going to cost you time and money, plus you might be unintentionally affecting the crash rating and performance of the barrier.

Purpose-built fencing options are readily available, so why not give our barrier team a call and get an all-inclusive quote on water filled barriers with anti-gawk screens.

Which barriers have anti-gawk screens to suit?

Our purpose-built barrier anti-gawk screens are available to fit the most popular water filled units, including MASH approved barriers like the Water-Wall.

Anti-gawk screens for water barriers

MASH approved barrier (TL-1 and TL-2) that links together using a twin steel pin.

The anti-gawk fence panel to suit this barrier uses an extended twin pin which is slotted into the plastic channel, along with simple couplers that clamp each mesh panel together.

Anti-gawk screens for Water-Wall barriers

Water-Wall temporary traffic barriers are ideal for private, local and council roads. The anti-gawk screens to fit the Water-Wall using a single long steel pin at each plastic-knuckled connection point.

This pin extends upwards to support the cyclone fencing panels on top. The pins have alternating couplers on each side, enabling many fence panels to be easily linked together.

Anti-gawk screens for Trafix barriers

Similarly, the Trafix barrier is also available with a fence panel that sits neatly into the two recesses on top of the barrier.

Two upright posts support a rolled wire mesh fence. The Trafix barrier with mesh panels fitted is a good choice for pedestrian, carpark and worksite applications.

Are there anti-gawk screens for concrete barriers?

Yes! Jaybro frequently supplies anti-gawk panels to our customers working on major road and infrastructure projects. Our customers use gawk screens with concrete barriers when they want to reduce visibility into a work area, typically along main roads, motorways and freeways.

Concrete barriers such as the Deltabloc are generally used in higher speed zones up to 100km/hr, so fencing off the work zone to reduce distraction from motorists becomes a key safety concern.

Anti-gawk screens for concrete barriers come in a range of different types depending on your application. We have anti-gawk screens to suit concrete crash barriers available in 3 main types:

All of these are fixed using either star posts or dynabolted posts, and all serve a similar purpose: to provide additional security and privacy to the work zone.

Our team of barrier experts can recommend the best options depending on your needs – call Jaybro’s<a href="" rel="nofollow" ="https:="" fortressfencing.com.au="" "=""> Fortress Fencing team on 1300 885 364 to talk about your specific project.

Steel posts for concrete barriers

Other accessories are available for the Deltabloc crash barriers too, including the Non-Drill guardrail system.

This is less of an anti-gawk solution and more designed for safety within the worksite. The Non-Drill posts are slotted securely into lifting anchor recesses in the top of the precast concrete barrier, allowing scaffolding elements to be coupled to them.

We’ve had particular success with supplying this system to fit around deep excavations, however, the Non-Drill posts can also be used on their own as temporary signposts, to secure other types of screens, hoarding and road signs, and can be turned into a permanent handrail. They can be used both during and after construction is complete – take a look at some further details on the Non-Drill guard rail system here.

Dress up your screen with custom printed fence mesh

If you’re using barriers with anti-gawk screens, we recommend the addition of printed fence banners to turn your barriers into the ultimate advertising platform. Using a combination of water filled barriers with anti-gawk screens and printed mesh will give you a complete solution to safety, privacy, dust control and branding.

Our premium fence mesh offers 80% blockout and 20% airflow, making it difficult to see through. This reduces gawking around your project and also increases driver safety by creating a visual barricade between the work zone and motorists.

Jaybro’s anti-gawk fence mesh is perfect for maximising your company’s exposure to the general public. Our customers often choose to showcase their logo, advertise the project itself, add the logos of partnership organisations, or simply promote a tag line.

Fence mesh can also be used to great effect if you want to give the public a sneak peek at your finished project. Adding an artist’s impression of the completed project helps to engage community interest and adds a professional touch to your job.

Jaybro can create custom banners to suit any size anti-gawk screen, as well as other fence mesh products that suit temporary fencing and hoarding (these typically suit fences that are 1.6 or 1.8 metres high).
