How to Use Bollards in Residential Areas

What Type of Bollards Should You Use?

Areas to Use Bollards in Residential Properties

• Perimeters of the Property—One of the most common uses of bollards on residential areas is to protect the perimeter of the property. These areas are highly susceptible to unwanted vehicular activity. If a driver loses control of his or her vehicle and enters a property, they could cause a great deal of damage and even harm unsuspecting people inside the home. Permanent residential bollards installed around the perimeter of the site can help restrict reckless driver from entering restricted areas around your property.
• Driveway Areas—Driveways can surprisingly be a hotspot for accidents. People may be driving too fast as they enter the driveway, or they simply lose control of their vehicles. To help prevent damage to your home, you can install security bollards around your driveway areas.
• Near the Garage—If you tend to back into your garage, you may already know how easily you could misjudge the distance to the garage and accidentally drive into the building. To help prevent this from happening, you can install permanent bollard models directly in front of the garage area. Additionally, you may want to install bollards around you garage to help prevent general accidental crashes.
• Large Backyard Spaces—Although much less common than the aforementioned applications, some people choose to use collapsible bollards during times when they are hosting gatherings at their homes. For example, if you’re having guests over for a graduation party or other event and have a large enough property for guests to park, you may want some kind of security posts in place to create order and help prevent accidental crashes.
