Haynes Motor Museum, Somerset

Location: Sparkford, Somerset

The Project

Haynes Motor Museum features the UK’s largest collection of cars and motorcycles dating from 1900 to today.  

The museum approached us to design and manufacture protective barrier systems that would keep its stunning displays visible but also prevent visitors from touching the collection.

The museum also requested a range of elegant display stands that could provide people with information about the car or motorcycle they were viewing. 

Our Solution

We designed and supplied an extensive set of stanchions and colour-coordinated ropes and bungee cords to create attractive protective barriers that complement the cars on display at Haynes Motor Museum. 

Our unobtrusive setup provides a secure perimeter around the classic and vintage cars without hindering people’s views of the exhibits.

Some of the stanchions also feature elegant signage plates that provide information about the cars and guide visitors around the displays.

We also designed custom versions of our medium stanchions with additional holes. This allows for a seamless transition from our medium stanchions to our small stanchions.
