Collection: Plastic Chains

Browse Ashley Chains' range of plastic chain, available to buy by the metre in a wide selection of colours, styles, and sizes. With a great range of products covering everything from standard plastic barrier chain to diamond spiked variants and complete kits with free connectors, this is one of the most varied plastic chain ranges available from a single UK supplier.

Plastic Barrier Chain and Safety Applications

The most common use for plastic chain is as a lightweight, visible plastic barrier chain for demarcation, crowd management, access control, and hazard marking. Plastic chains are the practical choice wherever a physical boundary needs to be communicated clearly without the weight, cost, or permanence of metal - car parks, event venues, construction sites, retail environments, public spaces, and outdoor areas all make regular use of plastic chain barriers.

For safety applications, colour choice matters. Yellow plastic chain is the most widely used plastic safety chain for hazard marking and warning cordons, being highly visible against most backgrounds. Red and white plastic chain signals restricted or danger zones, making it a common choice on construction and industrial sites. Red, white, and blue combinations are often used for public events and patriotic displays. For less conspicuous demarcation - gardens, driveways, heritage properties, and landscaping - brown, dark green, copper, and black plastic chains blend into their surroundings rather than drawing attention.

Plastic Security Chain

While plastic chain is not appropriate for load-bearing or theft-prevention applications - for those, our extensive metal and steel chain ranges are the right choice - it does serve effectively as a plastic security chain in contexts where visual deterrence and access guidance are the primary goals. A clearly defined plastic chain barrier communicates boundaries, redirects foot traffic, and deters casual intrusion without the need for permanent fixtures or heavy infrastructure.

Diamond Spiked Plastic Chain

For applications where a more aggressive visual deterrent is needed, our diamond spiked plastic chains - available in black, white, and dark green - feature alternate spiked links that add a stronger physical and visual presence to a barrier. These are popular for garden boundaries, pathway edging, and anywhere a standard link plastic chain looks insufficiently authoritative.
