bollards
We install high-visibility safety bollards at entrances and along walkways to separate vehicles from play areas and protect children, families and staff.
What bollards do and how we install them
Vehicle impact protection
Steel cores absorb impact and stand between kids at play and vehicles in parking lots and drop-off zones.
High visibility
Sleeves in 14 colours, each with two reflective stripes, make the perimeter easy for drivers to see, including in low light.
Galvanized for road salt
The finish stands up to road salt and freeze-thaw cycles, and sleeves can be replaced after a hit.
Mounting & spacing
We surface-mount or core-drill the bollards at consistent spacing, so the line looks finished.

Technical specs
Bollards are simple, but they have to be sized, spaced and anchored correctly. Here's what we install.

| Height Above Grade | ~36 inches / 900mm typical |
| Anchoring | Concrete-set or surface-mounted base plate |
| Sleeve | HDPE sleeve, replaceable, multiple colours |
| Sleeve Colours | 14 standard colours, custom colours on request |
| Reflective Bands | Two recessed reflective stripes on every sleeve |
| Spacing | 1.2–1.5m on centre (or per site requirements) |
| Steel Finish | Galvanized |
| Typical Lifespan | 20+ years on core, sleeve replaced as needed |
Stop painting your bollards
Whether you call them bollard covers, post sleeves or post covers, a sleeve fits over the post and puts an end to flaking and cracking paint.
Fade resistant for 5 years
Guaranteed, and the longest guarantee in the industry.
Quick and easy installation
A secure fit, with no tools or adhesive needed.
High density polyethylene
HDPE, for stronger tensile strength and solvent resistance.
Two reflective stripes
Recessed into the sleeve, for more visibility and safety.
14 standard colours
Yellow, red, blue, royal blue, grey, Canadian grey, warm grey, black, white, beige, brown, green, lime green and orange. Custom colours may also be available on request.

Where bollards go
Daycare & school perimeters
Drop-off zones, playground edges and main entrances, where drivers need to see the perimeter.
Commercial & retail
Storefronts, drive-throughs and fuel pumps. Bollards take accidental impact in busy lots before it reaches glass, structure or people.
Industrial & loading
Loading docks, equipment corners and pedestrian crossings. Heavier-gauge cores are available for high-impact zones.
