Bollards

Ultimate Stopping Power

Department of Defense Approved

Ideal Shield’s K12/M50 Crash Rated Bollard is the strongest safety bollard in the catalog as it has the ability to stop 15,000 lb. vehicle at 50 mph with 1.2-meter penetration. 

Tested and certified with ASTM F2656-07 M50 rating (K12), these steel security bollard barriers have been approved by the Department of Defense (DoD) and are now listed on the Anti-Ram Vehicle Barrier List

But it’s not just the strength and sense of security that sets these storefront bollards apart.

The simple Set & Pour installation will also make life easier for everyone. Simply set a single prefabricated bollard in excavation and pour in the concrete (no rebar in the foundation). Don’t worry about tying, bolting, welding, assembly, or specialty subgrade, as it is not required. Excavation 48″ wide by 36″ deep with 4000 psi concrete. The bollards are one single unit with a lifting pin and are also field adjustable, as it is easy to install with turns and across grade elevation changes using a standard bollard.

The security bollards are cost-effective as the posts are designed to have bi-directional stopping capability and unrestricted spacing limit while maintaining ASTM M50 P1 certification.

Need temporary protection? The K12 Bollards are also available in a removable option for temporary access areas. 

Once your new Safety Bollards are in place, you’ll want to make it look good by covering it with an Ideal Shield Bollard Cover. Brand it with your company colors and decals, or sleeve it with our Standard Dome-Top Bollard Covers, our stylish Decorative Bollard Covers (ask about our Stainless Steel Cover options) or any of our other Bollard Cover options to make the barrier more visually appealing.

Galvanizing or powder coated finishes are also available upon request.

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

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
