Beginner’s Guide to Parking Posts

Introducing our brand new range of parking posts, designed to increase security for vehicles in private driveways and commercial car parks. We supply parking posts suitable for a wide range of applications, and in an extensive range of sizes. 

What is a parking post? 

Parking posts, also known as parking barriers, are vertical posts mostly made from galvanised steel to regulate parking, control vehicle access and deter theft. They can be fixed to the ground via concrete or bolts, or even go flush to the floor. These fixtures can be adjusted to let authorised vehicles pass, and then easily erected again. However, they aren’t just good for parking; they can be used to protect buildings or infrastructure from vehicle damage. This makes them excellent at improving safety in public and private spaces.  

How are they useful? 

1. Cost-effective security solution

Parking posts offer an excellent solution to protecting vehicles from damage and theft. The user has control over vehicle access due to the posts being lockable. They act as a physical barrier to prevent unwanted access, as well as acting as a visual deterrent to indicate a space is reserved. Many people have parking posts installed in private property driveways, especially if they have a high value vehicle, which without protection may be at risk of theft or damage. 

2. Easy to use

With either an integral lock, or padlock available, our parking posts are incredibly easy to use. Each post with an integral lock comes with two keys as standard, which can either be keyed alike or keyed differently, depending on preference. 

3. Available in lots of sizes and colours

Our parking posts are available in an extensive range of sizes, to suit individual project requirements. They are also readily available in galvanised steel and yellow, which provides high-visibility benefits, which improves safety. 

4. Widely applicable

Parking posts are effective in many different applications, which makes them incredibly versatile. Applications include:

  • Reserving parking spaces in private or commercial spaces
