Why your premises should install parking posts & bollards 

February 19, 2022

Removable bollards provide temporary protection in busy streetscapes, locations where pedestrians congregate for a special event, or vehicle parks that are blocked or already filled. The Shelter Store explains the benefits of bollards & parking posts and why your business should consider them.

Security bollards are essential for ensuring the safety of a specific boundary. They can physically bar unauthorised people or vehicles from entering or departing a certain area.

The Advantages of parking posts & bollards

Designed to last

Their durability enhances the appearance of your parking lot and other locations. You can use our removable bollards to give your property a more modern and appealing look. The black and white colour combination, as well as the reflectors, make them stand out.

Parking posts & bollards are low-maintenance

Heat and other harsh weather conditions are no match for our Parking Posts & Bollards. They are also non-corrosive, as steel does not rust. It’s suitable for premium vehicle protection because of the heavy-duty square steel section, lockable hinged base-plate cover, and reflectors.

Enhanced security

Pedestrians benefit from bollards in car parks in a variety of ways. In locations like museums, parks, stadiums, and theatres, moveable bollards limit car access and provide a safer environment for people. By closing off areas, they assist in regulating the flow of people entering and departing theatres and museums. They also inform cars that they are not permitted to enter specific zones designated solely for bicyclists and pedestrians.

You can use detachable bollards in a number of ways, as seen in the images above. Pedestrians benefit from protection from vehicles in areas near stadiums, such as smoking zones outside the arena. They improve the visual appeal of many commercial and industrial buildings while also providing great peace of mind.

Let’s have a look at some of our best selling parking posts & bollards

SS Stealth Parking Post

It lies in a ground socket in the down position, similar to our other hinged lockable parking posts. This permits the unit to rest flat on the ground, and when the post is down, the lid covers the post, preventing cars and pedestrians from being obstructed.

The Heavy Duty Stainless Steel Retractable Post (Telescopic)

The Heavy Duty Stainless Steel Telescopic Retractable Post is a simple, cost-efficient, and highly effective approach to restrict unauthorised vehicle entry. The Telescopic Heavy Duty Retractable Post lifts and lowers vertically. When the post is fully low, it is totally submurges in to the earth and covered with the inbuilt lid.

There is no need for a padlock because the post has an integrated locking mechanism. It’s quite simple to use with a handle to grab to raise and lower into place.

The SS Folding Barrier

This wide design eliminates illicit parking, which can occur between conventional posts.
