Single bays
A post can work well at the entrance to an allocated private parking space, provided it does not block a shared route.

Keep control of your parking space.

Plan for the site, not just the post.
The fitting needs a suitable base and enough clearance for the post in its lowered position. We can advise on position so the post remains easy to operate and does not interfere with normal vehicle movement.
- Simple key-operated control
- Compact option for a single bay
- Lower profile when folded down
A simple way to keep control of a private space.
A lockable fold-down post can mark a bay as unavailable to unauthorised drivers. You unlock it and fold it down before using the space yourself.
Shared approaches
Placement should respect neighbours, turning room and the rights of everyone who uses the access.
Low vehicles
The folded height may matter for sports cars and cars with low front clearance. Confirm the actual product dimensions.
Sound fixing base
The post needs suitable fixings into a solid base; paving or tarmac alone may need additional groundwork.
PARKING OR SECURITY?
Choose for the problem you have.
If unwanted parking is the main issue, a fold-down post may be a straightforward option. If your priority is preventing a vehicle being driven away, compare a telescopic security bollard and the exact product’s specification instead.
Before installation, tell us whether the land is yours, rented or managed. The right to alter a shared parking surface must be clear.

Questions about anti-parking posts
Will a fold-down post stop someone parking in my bay?
An upright, locked post can discourage a vehicle from using the space. Placement and the bay layout matter; it is not a substitute for a documented impact-rated security bollard.
Can a car drive over the post when it is folded down?
Only if the chosen post’s lowered height and the vehicle’s ground clearance allow it. Check the exact model before fitting.
Can I fit a post in a shared or rented parking area?
Confirm you have the right to alter the surface and, where needed, obtain the owner’s or managing agent’s approval before installation.
Will it work on block paving or tarmac?
Often, but fixings need a sound base beneath the surface. The underlying structure must be checked rather than relying on paving blocks alone.
How is a fold-down post different from a telescopic bollard?
A fold-down post lies above the surface when lowered and is commonly used for parking control. A telescopic post retracts into a ground sleeve and may suit a driveway where a clear lowered position is important.
How much is a parking post installed in Kent?
The model, number of posts, fixing method and any work needed to create a sound base determine the installed price. Send photos for a quote.
