1. A retractable barrier comprising: a first support member; a first take-up member supported by the first support member; a second support member spaced apart from the first support member; a third support member disposed between the first support member and the second support member; a second take-up member supported by the third support member; a first retractable panel that includes a proximal end attached to the first take-up member and a distal end that can be releasably coupled to the third support member, wherein the first retractable panel can selectively retract onto the first take-up member and extend out toward the third support member; a second retractable panel that includes a proximal end attached to the second take-up member and a distal end that can be releasably coupled to the second support member, wherein the second retractable panel can selectively retract onto the second take-up member and extend out toward the second support member; a first stop member disposed on the first retractable panel; and a first catch member disposed on the first support member and being associated with the first stop member such that the first catch member impedes movement of the first stop member to limit an extent to which the first retractable panel can extend out from the first support member.
