The Original Bumper Post Sleeve

First invented back in 1994, Ideal Shield’s 1/4″ Bollard Cover is the most trusted bollard cover on the market. 

Our “Never Paint Again” cover fits 3″-12″ (diameter) pipe sizes and covers a max pipe height up to 84″ (depending on diameter) with a secure fit every time. And unlike the competitors, we will also cut each cover to meet your needs exactly at no additional cost

Need a specific color? Ideal Shield’s 1/4″ Bollard Covers come in 13 standard colors and are available in custom colors to meet your exact branding needs.

As for that installation, it couldn’t be any easier. With the patented installation tape, you will be able to install the covers within seconds while eliminating the need for messy adhesives. 

The market’s only 1/4″ thick Bollard Cover is the perfect solution for high traffic areas to protect your company’s most valuable assets. 

Need Eye Bolts for chain attachments? Our team can handle that as well. Ask for more details. 

Looking for a more cost-effective option that is similar to our competitor’s standard covers? Check out the 1/8″ Bollard Covers as well.

Resources & Downloads

Our 1/4” bollard cover can fit over all pipe sizes from 3”- 12” diameter. Height depends on the diameter though the max cover height we offer is 84".
Measure the circumference (distance around the post) Take that dimension and divide it by pi (3.14) Example: Circumference is 21″ Divide by 3.14 Pipe size in 6.625″ The bollard cover size you need is 6″
Pipe is measured by inside diameter. For example, 6″ pipe has an outside diameter of 6 5/8″. Our bollard sizes coincide with the pipe’s outside diameter, ex. our 6″ cover has an inside diameter of about 6 7/8″ to fit over the 6 5/8″ outside diameter of a 6” pipe.
Each bollard cover is delivered with two pieces of our patented foam neoprene tape. Apply the neoprene tape around the circumference of the steel bollard 3″ down from the top of the post and 3″ up from the bottom of the post. Once the tape is applied, slide the bollard cover over, eliciting the sound of air squeezing out between the post and sleeve as it creates a vacuum seal. If the above directions are followed correctly, the Ideal Shield Bollard Cover should fit tight with no gaps.
Our 1/4" Bollard Covers come in 13 standard colors but are also available in any color imaginable with our color matching and custom color programs. Contact us for more information.
Yes, the 1/4″ thick covers are available in any color. All we need is a Pantone or Sherwin Williams color number. We have done custom colors for Fortune 500 companies and small shops with great results.
Lead time will depend on if we have matched the color before. We have matched over 600 colors to date! Lead time is 2-3 weeks if we've matched it before, and 4-6 weeks if it’s a new custom match.
We do have options that come with reflective stripes! Ask our team for more info.

What our customers are saying

“We purchased some sign bollard covers from you all a few months ago and they work great! So far we’ve had 0 signs fall over in our parking lot. This time last year we had 2-3 fall over so already we’ve saved roughly $500 dollars in damages.”

William Myers - Amazon

“I have been truly impressed with the covers we bought from you so many years ago. They have been exposed to direct sunlight for years and have not faded one bit after all this time! Kudos!”

Mark C. - UBT

“First and foremost, we have loved the sign bases. They have gone through the various states of weather that Minnesota has to offer and they are withstanding the weather and doing a great job for us. At this time, we have all of our needs, however, after the Super Bowl and when we head into our spring events we could be looking to purchasing additional signs. ” 

Representative from US Bank Stadium, home of the Minnesota Vikings & Super Bowl 52

“This is just what we were looking for. Well made. We will be installing it next week. Everyone here is excited to have a railing to hang onto with winter coming. We at St. Cyprian thank you and your facility for help us.”

Carl Baltosiewich w/St. Cyprian

“Ideal Shield had some of the best prices on the market for bollards and covers. They were very easy to deal with and provided prompt shipment. The quality of the material was exceptional and a breeze to install.” 

James Harvill

“Steris Pharmaceutical chose Ideal Shield handrail because it’s sturdy, and the mounting brackets worked really well. Very happy with the product.”

Kevin Korb - Rite Hite

“When compared to other railing systems, Ideal Shield’s anchor system is cost-efficient and super strong – plus fully removable for relocation. Ideal Shield offers quality products that are very durable and never require painting.”

Donnie Frederick - Odessa College

“Ideal Shield has helped me out of many issues over the last couple of years. The restaurant business is always under a sense of urgency. It’s refreshing when someone drops everything & goes the extra mile to help. That is VERY rare this day & age.” 

Kari Carper - BDH Contracting

“I am speechless, I have never had a company go above and beyond what Y’all are doing for Us.  There are only two words to describe Ideal Shield Character and Integrity.  I will be sure to tell everyone I do business with about your company. ” 

Joe W. - AT&T
