Bollards 101

What are Bollards?

Bollards are a great way to protect your equipment and facility. Bollards can be constructed of stainless steel or concrete and act as a deterrent for drivers. These barriers are often painted in eye-catching colors, such as yellow or have reflective tape and are noticeable to the most neglectful drivers. Whether you’re looking to add security to your storefront or warehouse; bollards are a great security solution. 

Why Install a Bollard?

Bollards ensure your property is safe and secure. These barriers control high traffic areas and can prevent accidents from distracted drivers. Similarly, drivers may intentionally crash onto a property, in this event, bollards will prevent these unwanted drivers from damaging and entering your facility.
