How to Choose the Right 1/4" Heavy Duty Bollard Covers

Material

These are HDPE or LDPE plastic covers that are engineered to last outdoors. Bollard post covers are resistant to fading, cracking, and chemicals, unlike painted steel, and this makes them a long-term solution to high-traffic areas.

Size / Diameter

The appropriate choice of diameter guarantees a safe fit. These are covers that fit bollards between 3 and 10 inches in diameter. Measure the outside pipe prior to ordering. Available heights are standard heights and custom cuts, such as standard 4' bollard covers utilized in storefronts and parking.

Crash Rating

These are not crash-rated but are intended to be installed over steel bollards, which offer impact protection. To protect storefronts, the underlying bollard can be shaped to ASTM F3016 standards based on the installation.

Mount Type

They consist of slip-over pipe bollard sleeves that are installed directly over existing steel posts. Installation does not need any special equipment and involves taping them down, so they are perfect to retrofit without taking down existing bollards.

Finish

Branding with custom colors and striping options is possible, and standard safety yellow enhances visibility. These bollard sleeve covers are also painted in the same color and do not chip or peel out as paint does.

Budget

Typical 1/4" heavy-duty covers range around $50 each, depending on size and customization. Although more expensive initially compared to paint, recurring maintenance expenses are avoided in the long term.
