Perimeter Striping

You will need:

• Thermoplastic striping tape (for wet conditions only).

Measuring for the perimeter stripe

Striping the containment area is an important part of the installation. Perimeter striping works in combination with

parking lot signs and cart-mounted signs to educate and warn the customer of the new limits of cart travel. It is

important that the striping is bright, clean, and straight.

Stripe any area along the antenna perimeter where carts may exit, including: major ingress/egress points such

as drive ways, walkways exiting the property, and major drive lanes within the parking lot. Do not stripe areas

where the perimeter antenna runs along walls, fences, or landscaping.

The perimeter stripe should be located approximately three feet (3’) before the

antenna path, as this is where the Gatekeeper wheel will begin to lock. The

stripe should be nine inches (9”) wide.

Thoroughly sweep the area clean of any debris prior to placing chalk lines and

masking tape. It is helpful to section off the area using traffic cones or caution

tape. Use chalk lines and masking tape to mark the area to be striped. Prior to

painting, insure that the masking tape is straight and that there is no debris

inside the edges of the tape. Debris will cause the paint to flow outside the

edges of the tape and create smudges. Using a nine (9) inch semi-rough paint

roller, apply a coat of yellow traffic paint inside the masked area. In most

cases, two coats will be required. After the stripe has been painted, remove the

masking tape immediately. Allow 20 minutes for the paint to dry before any

traffic crosses the newly applied stripe (you may also dry with a torch).

After the paint has dried, a stencil is applied on top of the perimeter striping.

The stencil is placed directly over the striping and sprayed with BLACK spray

paint. A good rule of thumb is to place a stencil for every five (5) feet of

striping.
