What Are Anti-Parking Posts?
Fold-down security bollards are pretty handy and you've likely come across them without even realizing it. These are the metal posts that stand guard to stop vehicles from passing through certain areas. What sets them apart is their clever design: a hinging mechanism at the bottom allows these bollards to swing down flat, letting cars through when needed. This feature is super useful for homeowners who need to control access to their property—sometimes keeping vehicles out, other times letting them in.
Imagine this: the bollards are anchored firmly in the ground with a sturdy base. Hidden within this base is the magic hinge that lets the bollard pivot from standing tall to lying flat. All it takes is a unique key, and voila! The bollard swings down to grant entry. This setup is perfect for managing access without the need for constant physical adjustments.
Anti-parking posts are wonderfully straightforward to install, offering a great solution for homeowners looking for a simple, non-intrusive, and budget-friendly way to keep their vehicles safe.
Step 1: Planning Where to Put the Bollards
First off, we take a good look at your space to figure out the best spots for the bollards. We make sure they'll do their job without messing with the look of your home, placing them so they're both out of the way and effective.
Step 2: Drilling the Holes
After picking the perfect spots, we drill a couple of holes for the bollard bases. The depth might vary depending on the bollard type, but we always ensure the base is super secure and resistant to tampering.
Step 3: Putting the Bollards In
Next, we set the base in place and attach the fold-down posts, double-checking they're perfectly upright and ready for action.
Step 4: Tidying Up
After the installation, we clean up the driveway so it looks as good as new, leaving you with your fresh bollards, a safer space for your vehicles, and zero mess. We'll also show you how everything works, hand over any spare keys, and make sure all your questions are answered.
