Marking for Elevation Change?!
Marking for Elevation Change?!
(OP)
We are installing raised platforms and need to have some sort of yellow marking around the edge to show that there is a change in elevation. It needs to me something that can be installed, not painted, and the idea of a sticker has been thrown out.
The platform material is fiberglass and about 2" thick.
Any suggestions would be great, thanks!

But if you don't want paint or stickers you are pretty much limiting yourself to some type of overlay. You don't mention what kind of loads/machines/wheels this marking needs to encounter. First is the material type and this could be a thin sheet of metal (I would shy away from plastic because it might warp). Then there is the fastening method which would preferably be adhesive, but could also be small screws if the loads aren't that heavy. Maybe you could use yellow adhesively backed tiles?

I think there are some specific materials for high traffic areas.
You best bet would be to talk to a large marine supply store as to what's available.

Is your platform monolithic or made up of "planks"? If it is planked, could the edge planks simply be a different color?
Why have you discarded the concept of stickers? Road stripes are sometimes applied with stickers. If they hold up to that I would think they would hold up on a platform.
