When the Kia Forum needed an elegant yet functional solution to manage crowd flow and restrict access areas, they turned to Geranium Street. We designed and installed 64 custom modular hedge panels that provide durable, movable barriers without sacrificing aesthetics.
Understanding the Problem
The primary challenge was twofold: directing high-volume foot traffic efficiently and creating clear, physical boundaries to prevent guests from entering restricted areas. Traditional solutions like rope stanchions or metal barricades were visually unappealing and clashed with the venue’s atmosphere.
The Geranium Street Approach
Geranium Street engineered a custom barrier system using 64 individual panels, each 4 feet tall by 8 feet long, creating over 500 square feet of instant green barrier. Each panel features commercial-grade, UV-resistant synthetic foliage with weighted bases for stability.
Bringing It to Life
Our manufacturing team produced all 64 custom hedge panels with rigorous quality control. Delivery was coordinated precisely during a scheduled maintenance window. The modular nature meant no complex installation—panels were simply placed in the desired formation.
Transformative Impact
The Kia Forum now utilizes a barrier system that is both highly effective and aesthetically superior. The lush, green hedges provide a clear visual and physical boundary that guests intuitively respect, significantly improving traffic flow.
