How we fit it

On a solid concrete or tarmac surface we bolt the base down. On gravel or softer ground we set it in concrete instead. Either way it usually takes under an hour.

We fit into block paving, tarmac, resin, concrete and most other hard surfaces. Gravel is fine too. Send a photo of your drive and we'll confirm it's suitable before we fix the price.

Questions about this post

How much is the high-vis fold-down parking post fitted?

£359 for the first post, fully fitted, and £309 for each extra post on the same job. We're not VAT registered, so there's nothing added on top.

Will it stop a car thief?

It's a deterrent, made to stop people parking in your space. A surface-mounted post isn't designed to stop a determined thief. For theft protection, choose a telescopic bollard set in concrete.

Can it go on gravel?

Yes. We set it in concrete instead of bolting it down.

Is the lock upgrade worth it?

The standard disc lock suits most homes. The high-security disc lock is harder to attack and worth the £39 for commercial sites or anywhere the post is a target.

What if I lose a key?

It comes with two keys, and we can supply replacements or change the lock.

Can I have more than one?

Yes. Each extra post on the same job is £50 less, because most of the cost is getting to you, scanning and setting up. Two or three posts are usually done in a morning.
