Bollard Covers
What is the purpose of the reflective tape on the sleeves?
The reflective tape actually increases the visibility of the sleeves. During the day the reflective tape offers a color contrast increasing the visibility. At night the increased visibility comes from the tape being reflective.
Will I need to purchase any installation material?
No. We send all of the needed installation material; so no additional tools are needed.
Why should someone buy a bollard cover?
Bollard covers eliminate the need to scrape and paint the existing pipe bollards. When you paint a post, and it gets scraped, it looks ugly until the next time that you paint the post. Scraping and painting a bollard usually costs about $15.00 to $25.00 to paint each time.
