stanchion
Vertical barrier pole
A stanchion is an upright post or support, typically metal, used to hold something in place or control movement.
Stanchions with ropes or chains guide crowds through queues at airports and theaters.
In barns, stanchions confine cattle by the neck during milking.
The word applies to any sturdy vertical bar serving as a structural support: The deck railing was mounted on stanchions.
