Want to prevent accidents and protect your property?
Bollards provide physical protection for your customers and your property.
Safety and security:
Bollards create a physical barrier between vehicles and pedestrians, protecting people in walking areas from accidental or intentional vehicle intrusions.
Bollards act as a protective barrier around storefronts, gas stations, and other vulnerable areas, minimizing the risk of costly damage from vehicle impacts.

What Bollards Protect
Bollards are the short, sturdy posts that stand between vehicles and the things you can’t afford to have hit. They shield storefronts and glass entrances from cars that jump a curb or hit the gas instead of the brake. Around the rest of a property, they guard pedestrian walkways, fuel dispensers, ATMs and drive-up kiosks, and exposed utility or electrical equipment. In a busy Broward County retail lot or fuel station, one misjudged pull-in can cause serious damage or injury.
A well-placed bollard absorbs that impact before it reaches people or property, protecting your customers first and your repair budget second. We help owners spot the vulnerable points — entry doors, building corners, equipment cabinets — and cover them before an accident makes the case. Storefront strikes are common enough that many brand standards now expect protective posts at glass entrances.
Bollard Types & Crash Ratings
Bollards range from simple visual guides to engineered crash barriers, and the right one depends on how much force it may need to stop. The main types are fixed concrete-filled steel pipe, removable units, and decorative or covered posts. Each is rated against impact standards that tell you what speed it can handle.
The table sorts them out.
| Type / Rating | Description | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Fixed concrete-filled steel pipe | Permanent steel post set in the ground and filled with concrete for maximum strength | Storefront and perimeter protection |
| Removable | Locks into a ground sleeve and lifts out when access is needed | Fire lanes, loading zones, and controlled entry points |
| Decorative / covered | Steel post wrapped in a finished sleeve for a cleaner look | Building fronts where appearance matters alongside protection |
Ratings matter as much as type. ASTM F3016 covers low-speed impacts in the roughly 10 to 30 mph range typical of parking lots, which makes it the right benchmark for most storefront and perimeter posts. ASTM F2656 governs high-speed crash barriers for high-security sites that must stop a vehicle under full force. We match the rating to your actual risk rather than a one-size-fits-all spec.
How Bollards Are Installed
Installing a fixed bollard is a sequence of measured steps that ends with a post built to take a hit. Here is how our 1-800-STRIPER® crew handles it:
- Locate the protection points. We identify exactly what needs shielding — a doorway, a fuel island, an equipment cabinet — and mark each post position.
- Core or excavate. We bore or dig the footing at each mark, deep enough to anchor the post securely.
- Set the steel pipe. We stand the steel pipe in place, plumb and aligned with its neighbors.
- Fill with concrete. We fill the pipe and footing with concrete so the post becomes a solid, immovable barrier.
- Finish and paint. We cap and paint each post, often in safety-yellow, so it stays visible day and night.
Removable bollards follow the same layout step but use a ground sleeve and locking mount instead of a poured footing, so they lift out when you need the lane open. Whichever type fits your site, we set them to do their job for years — call (954) 932-0437 for a free estimate.

Frequently Asked Questions About Bollard Installation in Fort Lauderdale, FL
What is a bollard and what does it protect?
A bollard is a short, sturdy post that shields people and property from vehicle impact. Bollards protect storefronts, building entrances, pedestrian walkways, fuel dispensers, ATMs, and utility or electrical equipment from accidental or intentional vehicle strikes. Bollard installation in Fort Lauderdale adds a strong layer of protection at vulnerable points around a commercial property. By creating a physical barrier, bollards help keep vehicles where they belong and people safe where they walk and gather.
What types of bollards do you install?
We install several types of bollards. Fixed concrete-filled steel pipe bollards are the most common choice for storefront and perimeter protection. Removable bollards allow access to be opened and closed when needed, and decorative or covered bollards blend protection with a finished look. The right choice for your bollard installation in Fort Lauderdale depends on the level of protection, access needs, and appearance you want. Call (954) 932-0437 to discuss which type fits your property.
Are bollards crash-rated?
Many bollards are crash-rated, and the rating depends on the standard. ASTM F3016 rates low-speed impact, roughly 10 to 30 mph, which suits storefront and perimeter protection. ASTM F2656 rates high-speed crash barriers for high-security sites that need to stop larger, faster vehicles. The right rating for your bollard installation in Fort Lauderdale depends on the threat level and traffic around the area you’re protecting. We can help match the standard to your site’s needs.
Do I need a permit to install bollards in Fort Lauderdale?
Permitting for bollard installation varies by property and jurisdiction, so whether you need one depends on your specific site and local requirements. Some installations may call for review or approval, while others may not. We can advise on what’s typically involved and help coordinate the process for your bollard installation in Fort Lauderdale, but requirements are ultimately set by the local authority. Call (954) 932-0437 and we’ll walk through your project and the next steps.
Can bollards be painted to match or stand out?
Yes. Bollards are often painted safety-yellow so they stand out and warn drivers, which improves visibility around storefronts, walkways, and equipment. They can also be finished or covered to match your building’s look when a more subtle appearance is preferred. For your bollard installation in Fort Lauderdale, the finish can balance visibility and aesthetics depending on the location and purpose. Call (954) 932-0437 to talk through color and finish options for your property.
How much does bollard installation cost?
The cost of bollard installation depends on the number of bollards, the type you choose, the crash rating you need, and your pavement and site conditions. Fixed, removable, and decorative bollards each involve different work. Because every Fort Lauderdale property is different, we provide a free estimate after reviewing your site.
