Embodiment Construction

[0024] FIG. 1 illustrates the safety and debris barrier 10 of the invention as seen from an interior floor 12 of a high-rise building under construction with barrier 10 passing on the outward side of stanchion 14. Barrier 10 consists of one or more sections 10A, 10B preferably several yards in length (e.g. 7 yards) and about five (5) feet in height each, but they can be manufactured in any length and height. The barrier has five horizontal support strips 20 and a number of vertical support strips 22 spaced at roughly two (2) foot intervals. Horizontal support strips 20 and vertical support strips 22 are fastened to form a rectangular web 24.

[0025] Barrier sections 10A, 10B are coupled together to create a complete barrier 10. Vertical standards 26 or posts anchored to floor 12 are used to couple barrier sections 10A, 10B together and provide immobility and stiffness for barrier 10. Horizontal support strips 20 are looped around vertical standard 26 and made fast by 800 pound test on...

An apparatus for a web of fabric material that is several feet long and can be stretched or extended between vertical posts and secured thereto. Mesh can be provided over the web. The vertical posts are secured to the slab of an open floor of a building being constructed. The vertical ends of the web are secured to the posts by cam buckles. A method of doing business is provided by applying advertising banners to safety barriers used during construction of a high rise building and selling advertising space on the barriers during the time that the barriers are in place. The method includes the step of providing the barrier, such as where a barrier supply company provides safety barriers to a contractor of a building for free or reduced cost in return for authority and privilege to install advertising banners on the safety barriers. The method includes the step of barrier supply company selling advertising space on the barriers to advertisers. The barriers, owned or controlled by the barrier supply company, can be stored and reused many times, and new advertising banners applied.
