A capping beam that changes height along its length defeats a single panel size, and a 1m panel gives inadequate protection at the edge of a deep excavation. AdaptaPanel answers both. Posts run from 1.0m to 4.0m, and panels from 1m to 3m install both horizontally and vertically, so the barrier follows the beam up and down and your crew stays protected along the whole run.
The cranked post gives maximum visibility down shafts, so workers at the edge can see what is below them. The product sheets cover gawk screens, void edge protection, stepped capping beams and station box voids.
For other edge conditions, see our edge protection systems.
Where a site boundary or exclusion zone runs along an open edge, the fence is also the fall barrier. AdaptaPanel’s steel posts and welded mesh panels do both jobs, so one edge protection fence serves as security fencing, site delineation, an acoustic fence base and an exclusion zone barrier.
Fall protection is AdaptaPanel’s primary function. It is not solid hoarding, a vehicle impact barrier or a crowd barrier.
On a high-rise slab, the outermost line of the deck often doubles as the boundary of an exclusion zone, so the barrier has to work as both. The 1.0m and 2.0m posts suit high-rise construction and perimeter exclusion zones, and the 2.0m post also suits crane exclusion zones.
Corner posts and the cranked post take the barrier round changes of direction. In a curved shaft, panels angle at 145° from the post, which suits a shaft with a 7m internal diameter.
The AdaptaPanel range runs posts from 1.0m to 4.0m, with five mesh panels and a sliding window panel to build the barrier your edge needs.
Posts that fix to the top of the edge are covered with our top-mount edge protection products, with post codes and heights. Posts that fix to its face are covered with face-mounted edge protection solutions.
Where fixings are restricted, counterweighted AdaptaPanel takes a 1.0m post and 1.0m by 2.0m panels on 0.8m, 1.0m or 1.2m base sections with 22.5kg counterweights, and needs a temporary works design. If the edge cannot take AdaptaPanel posts at all, our free-standing edge protection system is the alternative.
The galvanised steel frame has a 10-year design life.
| Component | Product code |

Each post bolts to concrete with four screw anchors at 90mm embedment as standard. Shallow embedment of 50mm uses eight anchors and needs a site-specific temporary works design.
On steel, I-Klamp brackets clamp to I-beams, and the King Klampz clamp on edge protection offers a clamp-fixed alternative. On precast concrete, the NON-DRILL post and handrail system connects to shear studs and swift-lifts and takes an AdaptaPanel post bracket. Where the structure cannot take anchors, the counterweight system avoids them but requires a temporary works design. Cast-in sleeves and sacrificial baseplates are available as custom items.
Your fixing design depends on concrete strength, edge distance, slab thickness and wind loading, so we supply site-specific configuration drawings and design certification for the project.
Falls from height were the most common cause of worker deaths in HSE’s provisional 2025/26 figures, at 31 of 126, and the Work at Height Regulations 2005 put the duty to prevent them at an open edge on whoever controls the work. We monitor and maintain WAHR compliance with each product.
AdaptaPanel complies with BS EN 13374 and BS EN 12811-1, and is tested to British Standards, with 100mm maximum deflection at top rail height, for all post heights. We supply a user guide and inspection test reports with the system.
Curtain wall and riser installers work at the edge itself, so a fixed barrier gets in the way of the job. AdaptaPanel opens the barrier only where the work is: removable mesh panels and sliding toeboards make the gap, and a harness anchor bracket gives the installer an attachment point, so the installer stays protected without the barrier slowing the job. Support posts for 3m debris netting bolt back from the edge.
For installers who need to work through the edge, the AdaptaPanel work-through edge protection provides the configurations and specifications.
AdaptaPanel is available to buy and to hire, and both start with Request A Quote. Hire runs through our hire service, with a 4-week minimum and 24-48 hour delivery as standard across the UK, so edge protection reaches site in step with your programme.
“The AdaptaPanel System has been easy to install and move where and when we need it in multiple situations. It has been complimented by both the team installing it as well as senior management visiting the site. We are using the 2m system at the moment and it has been fast to install, really robust as edge protection and easy to store” Liam Delahunt, Site Manager, Legendre
“Thanks again for supplying the ADAPTAPANEL system, fast delivery, easy install, solid and well manufactured. It’s now my go-to choice; I’ll be using it again without a doubt.” Ben F., Dasco, Castle Hill
In Australia, custom AdaptaPanel infill panels were made for a capping beam at Sydney Metro, and a custom CLT fixing for The Bond Project.
