Why Use Bollards?

Q: Why use bollards for perimeter security?

A: Bollards are vertical posts anchored into the ground to form a strong physical barrier that helps protect buildings, pedestrians, and infrastructure from vehicular threats. Many large retailers and public facilities are now installing bollards at entrances and exits to prevent “crash and grab” incidents and other types of forced vehicle intrusions. Bollards also help safeguard customers and personnel from injury caused by vehicle accidents. The examples above highlight common bollard placements at retail stores and government facilities — all part of the perimeter security solutions offered by Barrier Stop.

  • Sizes: From 20″ to 60″
