Skateboard and scooter deterrent products
ENCAT has designed a range of skateboard deterrent products that can be used on public seating areas, hand rails and other locations to reduce the chance of skateboarders using the area to ride on.
This can help protect public spaces and keep public areas safe. They reduce the chances of damage or markings on walls, seating, outdoor benches, tables, seats or other flat surfaces that skateboard riders typically used.
Our range made in our factory located in Wollongong. ENCAT has been supplying local schools, universities, cafes and local councils for many years.
There are four variants to choose from
- Angled square edge for walls
- Circular low profile for edge areas
- Flat top for flat surfaces
- Handrail curve

Frequently asked questions about Handrail Skateboard Deterrent
Why are skateboard and scooter deterrent products useful?
Skateboard and scooter deterrent products are useful for several reasons, particularly in urban environments and public spaces;
- Preventing Property Damage: Skateboarding and scootering can cause significant wear and tear on surfaces like benches, railings, ledges, and stairs. The repeated grinding, sliding, and impact can lead to damage, necessitating costly repairs or replacements.
- Safety Concerns: In areas with heavy foot traffic, the presence of skateboarders or scooter riders can create safety hazards for pedestrians. Deterrent products help minimise the risk of accidents or collisions, ensuring a safer environment for all.
- Maintaining Aesthetic Appeal: Public and private properties often invest in design and landscaping to create a pleasant environment. Skateboard and scooter use can disrupt this, leading to unsightly damage or marks. Deterrents help preserve the intended appearance of these spaces.
- Encouraging Appropriate Use of Space: Certain areas, such as plazas, memorials, or entranceways, are not designed for recreational activities like skateboarding or scootering. Deterrent products help reinforce the intended use of these spaces, ensuring they are respected and utilised appropriately.
- Reducing Noise Pollution: Skateboarding and scootering can generate considerable noise, especially in quiet residential or commercial areas. Deterrent products help to reduce these disturbances, contributing to a more peaceful environment.
- Liability Issues: Property owners can be held liable for injuries that occur on their premises. By deterring skateboarding and scootering, they can reduce the likelihood of accidents and, consequently, potential legal issues.
