Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between EG, HI, and DG reflective sheeting?
Engineer Grade (EG) is the most economical and suitable for low-speed roads. High-Intensity Prismatic (HIP) offers significantly greater retroreflectivity for roads up to 55 mph. Diamond Grade (DG) provides the highest retroreflectivity for highways and high-speed corridors, visible from the greatest distance.
Do I need 1-side or 2-side reflective sheeting?
Use 1-side sheeting when traffic approaches from only one direction. Choose 2-side sheeting when the barricade faces traffic from both directions, such as in median work zones or two-way traffic roads.
What legs do I need for this rail?
This 4-foot economy barrier rail fits A-Frame Barricade Legs (SKU: A44000V). You need two legs per barricade setup -- one on each end of the rail.
Can I stack two rails on one set of legs?
Yes. The A-Frame Barricade Leg has two board-opening slots, allowing you to mount two rails for enhanced visibility. This is recommended for Type II barricade configurations.
What is the difference between economy rails and I-beam rails?
Economy rails use a rigid hollow-cell plastic construction and are more affordable. I-beam rails are made from flexible polyethylene that bends on impact and returns to shape, making them better suited for high-traffic areas where vehicle strikes may occur.
What Our Customers Say
Real reviews from the facilities, field crews, and agencies that count on us.
-
★★★★★
"We've been running these barricades on DOT projects for over two years now. They hold up to daily abuse from our crews loading and unloading them off trucks, and the powder coat finish still looks sharp. Definitely the best value we've found for the price point."

★★★★★
"Setup and teardown is a breeze. My crew can deploy a full line of A-frames in half the time it used to take with our old barricades. The folding mechanism is simple and nothing to jam up."
✅ Verified Buyer
-
★★★★★
"The reflective sheeting on these rails is extremely visible at night. Our utility crews work a lot of after-hours emergency jobs and the high-intensity prismatic sheeting gives us confidence that motorists can see the work zone clearly."
