Expert Insights

Measure your existing bollard post diameter carefully before ordering — covers are sized to specific post diameters with minimal tolerance. Standard steel pipe bollards are typically 4.5-inch or 6-inch outside diameter. A snug fit prevents water intrusion and wind-driven movement. For high-traffic retail and commercial areas, lighter colors improve visibility in parking lots and walkways. Yellow is the most common choice for safety applications, while architectural colors can match building aesthetics. Covers can be trimmed to length on-site for non-standard height bollards.
