I wouldn't have thought there was a 'standard' size for barricades.
I'd guess the height of the pole above ground would be 3 - 4 ft (26 - 35mm in 1/35 scale). The length would be whatever was needed to block the road and the diameter would probably be about 2 - 4 inches (1.5 - 3.0mm in 1/35 scale). I'd guess you wouldn't want it to be more that 12 - 15 feet long at the maximum (105mm - 130mm in 1/35 scale).
To make the X-pieces give the correct height, if you assume that the X is all right angles then the cross-pieces would need to be 9 - 10mm length for 3 feet high and 5 - 6mm for 4 feet high - both in 1/35 scale.

hi Gern
thank you, for your reply, you know i did try fo 2 hrs and Google it and all and could not come up with the sizes i needed,
I think that sounds about right as they do show as being about waist high, and a 45 d/angle is quick and eazy to make,
as why pay $ 15.00 for some think i can make have alot off trees in the yard

My apologies Monica, I'm a twit! Serves me right for trying to do things in a hurry. Only the gods know where I got my numbers from for your X pieces but they're sorta kinda wrong!
Your X pieces should be about 74mm long for a cross-bar height of 26mm and about 98mm long for a height of 35mm.

hi Gern thats fine no reason to apologize, your only helping me out,
hi Richi, i was thing there would have to be a standard size for them but so hard to find
with a google that has a scene off humor ,
as what i can see off kit box,s is that the angle seems to be maybe about 30 d or so and they do seen
to have the cross bar at waist high ?
