SimpleSet Barriers
Pop open the game barriers, fasten them with hook-and-loop straps, and voila: game on! These floor hockey barriers set up quickly and easily, lining the perimeter of your rink with a clear boundary. Slide them together and secure with the hook-and-loop fasteners to create even bigger boundaries! Designed for carefree play, students can accidentally bump into or step on these lightweight polyester fabric barriers without risking damage or injury.
