Abstract
A retractable barrier assembly is selectively deployed to span an aisle bounded on at least one side by a shelf unit. More specifically, a net is preferably movable between a storage position, off the floor and free of the aisle, and a deployed position, extending across the aisle. A container is preferably provided to support a first end of the net and house the net when in its storage position.
