The present invention relates to protective barrier (100, 102, 120, 140, 160, 180, 300) for protecting structural columns, wall or other projecting elements that may be subject to inadvertent impact. The protective barrier (100, 102, 120, 140, 160, 180, 300) in one form of the invention includes a plurality of protection blocks (10) and a plurality of locating pins (50). Each protection block (10) includes a bumper surface (14) for receiving impact forces, an elongate structure positioning surface (17) arranged in use to be positioned substantially against or adjacent to a border defined by a structure to be protected and at least two locating apertures (20). The protection blocks (10) are arranged in rows, with the protection blocks of adjacent rows being offset horizontally relative to one another in such a manner that the locating pins (50) can be located in respective substantially vertically aligned apertures (20) of the rows of protection blocks to thereby locate the protective blocks (10) in their respective row and to locate adjacent rows together. The invention also relates to a protection block (10) and locating pin (50) for use in the protective barrier (100, 102, 120, 140, 160, 180, 300). |
