St. Louis Porta Pros rents steel crowd control barricades by the day, priced between $30 and $75 depending on quantity and site conditions. We deliver across St. Louis for races, festivals, block parties and job sites that need a hard line between the public and the work. Pair barriers with event restroom rental and you have most of a site plan covered.
Daily barrier rates run $30 to $75 per section, and most St. Louis events land in the middle of that range once you factor delivery. A parade route or a fenced concert perimeter needs more linear footage than a single job site entrance, so pricing scales with count, not just duration. We quote by the job after a walk-through, and we roll delivery into the same invoice as your temporary fence rental if you are running both. Barricades used for public sidewalks or street closures should conform to ANSI D6.1 per OSHA 1926.202, which covers barricade construction and placement around active work. If your event also needs portable toilet rental or a restroom trailer rental, ask for a combined quote. Bundling barriers with temporary fence cost items and a 10 yard dumpster rental for site debris usually saves a trip charge. We serve St. Louis proper along with University City, 7.9 miles northwest, and Webster Groves, 8.6 miles southwest.
Placement in the public right of way, on a street or sidewalk, needs confirming with the city before delivery. We have not verified a specific St. Louis ordinance number for barrier placement, so we tell every customer to check with the city rather than guess. If your event footprint crosses a sidewalk, curb lane or crosswalk, that confirmation matters more than the barrier order itself. This is the same caution we give for dumpster permit requirements and porta potty permit requirements: city rules vary by street classification and event size, and a phone call beats an assumption. Once placement is cleared, we handle delivery, setup and pickup. For jobsites that also need lighting or power for security patrols, look at our light tower rental and temporary power pole options. Race organizers running routes through Kirkwood, 12.5 miles west, or Florissant, 15.4 miles north, should build permit lead time into the planning calendar, not the delivery week.
Marathons, festivals, concerts and county fairs are the biggest users, because each one needs a controlled perimeter and a clear line for foot traffic. A marathon and race restrooms route typically pairs barrier sections with portable toilets staged at mile markers, spaced so runners never backtrack far. Festival restroom rental and concert restroom rental jobs use barriers to separate stage access from general admission, often alongside crowd control barrier rental sections doubling as queue lines for restrooms and food vendors. Construction sites use the same barricades differently: OSHA 1926.25 calls for clearing debris from work areas, and a barrier line keeps foot traffic away from the debris zone while crews work. Golf tournament restrooms and county fair restrooms jobs in St. Louis often run barriers around vendor rows and parking overflow. If your event also needs handwashing, see our handwashing station rental page for setup that pairs with a barricaded food court.
It depends on linear footage, not headcount alone. A single job site entrance might need four to six sections; a festival perimeter can run into the hundreds. We measure your site plan and quote exact counts, the same way we size how many porta potties do i need for restroom counts.
Yes. Weekend events are common in St. Louis, and we deliver Friday, pick up Monday. Daily rates apply across the rental window, and delivery is scheduled once, not per day, keeping the invoice simple.
Yes, delivery and placement are included. Our crew positions sections along your marked perimeter and adjusts on site if the layout shifts, the same walk-through we do for temporary fence rental jobs.
Often both, for different jobs. Fencing secures a perimeter overnight; barriers manage foot traffic during active hours, like queue lines or street crossings. Many St. Louis events rent both together.
Book as early as possible, especially if street closures need city confirmation first. For standing events like fairs and marathons, two to three weeks ahead gives us room to plan delivery and any required rerouting.
