Bollards

1-800-BOLLARDS line of Baseplate Mounted Bollards can be utilized in a variety of ways. Since they are not considered a vehicle stopping bollard, they typically are used as a traffic deterrent. Another common use is when the slab or ground does not have sufficient depth to excavate. A good example is a suspended slab in a parking garage. Baseplate Mounted Bollards are used extensively in distribution center warehouses to protect walls, corners and shelving from forklifts.


1-800-BOLLARDS line of Fixed Bollards are the simplest form of perimeter security. Once installed in an engineered footing, the fixed bollards will provide a sturdy and long lasting solution for asset, property and pedestrian protection.


1-800-BOLLARDS internal locking removable bollards are the most versatile bollards on the market today. The locking mechanism engages below grade, inside the embedment sleeve. It’s nearly impossible to remove without the key which is placed waist high on the bollard for easy access. When the bollard is removed, the locking lid covers the embedment sleeve for a smooth, hazard free transition from security to access.


Trees

The French tree grate has a rich decorative pattern inspired by the boulevards of Europe's leading cities. The intricate ornamental design works well in both square and round patterns.


For special, upscale applications, our Broadway tree grate can be custom fabricated from stainless steel or aluminum to virtually any dimension. In the aluminum version, we give the tree grate a heavy sandblast followed by a hard, clear anodized finish. The result is a unique gun metal gray finish with a grittier texture that provides slip resistance and premium durability. With stainless steel, we electropolish the grate which imparts a bright, lustrous finish and delivers superior corrosion protection.


The Radii tree grate employs a classic radiating pattern that recalls the age rings of a mature tree. This pattern works well in both round and square grates.
