Things to Consider Before Buying a Safety Bollard
5 Things to Consider Before Buying a Safety Bollard
Buying a safety bollard isn’t just about picking a post. It’s about making the right choice for your space, safety level, and budget. Here’s what you should consider:
- What are you protecting?
Are you securing a pedestrian area, building, equipment, or vehicle access point? Your purpose determines your needed impact rating.
- How often does vehicle access occur?
Choose removable or automatic bollards if vehicles need to pass regularly. Fixed bollards are best for always-blocked areas.
- What’s the environment like?
Stainless steel is great for humid, coastal, or high-heat environments. Powder-coated options may suit indoor or low-corrosion areas.
- Do aesthetics matter?
Modern public spaces often need safety without sacrificing visual appeal. Brushed stainless, sleek design, or color-coordinated finishes help bollards blend in.
- What’s your long-term plan?
Think beyond today. Will your layout change? Will traffic increase? Choosing a flexible bollard system now can save future costs.
