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.
Lockable fold-down posts help discourage unauthorised parking in a private bay or driveway. Unlock the post and lower it to use the space.
Ask for a quote ↗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.
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.
A post can work well at the entrance to an allocated private parking space, provided it does not block a shared route.
Placement should respect neighbours, turning room and the rights of everyone who uses the access.
The folded height may matter for sports cars and cars with low front clearance. Confirm the actual product dimensions.
The post needs suitable fixings into a solid base; paving or tarmac alone may need additional groundwork.
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.
Ask about a parking post ↗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.
Only if the chosen post’s lowered height and the vehicle’s ground clearance allow it. Check the exact model before fitting.
Confirm you have the right to alter the surface and, where needed, obtain the owner’s or managing agent’s approval before installation.
Often, but fixings need a sound base beneath the surface. The underlying structure must be checked rather than relying on paving blocks alone.
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.
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.
