Bollards protect buildings and people by restricting motor vehicle access in high-traffic areas. These short, sturdy posts create a physical barrier to keep both people and structures safe from harm, which makes them an extremely effective safety device – and a popular choice for improving security in a wide range of public spaces. But not all bollards are the same. It’s important to select the type of bollard post that will work best for your needs.

Bollards are a familiar site in both urban and suburban environments. These short, sturdy posts are common in parking lots and parks, along streets and sidewalks, near office buildings and storefronts, and even inside warehouses and other industrial buildings.

Bollards come in multiple styles and sizes, and are often built to blend into their surroundings. But from a functional standpoint they serve a common purpose: securing and protecting buildings and people by restricting motor vehicle access in specific areas.
