Galvanized Greatness

More than Just Highway Protection

Ideal Shield is a trusted seller of Highway Guardrail components for roadways, parking lots, and warehouses. 

We carry an extensive inventory of standard Class A 12 Gauge Highway Guardrail components such as W-Beams, Galvanized Steel Post I-Beams (with and without base plates), Curly Ends, Flared Ends and Hardware.

With decades of experience in guiderail/guardrail and roadside safety, we have the “know how” to provide you with quality products meeting Federal and State DOT Specifications. 

Our standard highway guardrail is in stock and ready to ship.  But if you’re looking for a different but similar option with added benefits, check out our Standard Guardrail.

U.S. Steel pipe sleeved in HDPE plastic. We offer multiple heights and lengths though our 27″ tall One-Line system with base plates is very comparable to Highway Guardrail. Similar price, easier and quicker installation, ships fully assembled, and a stronger system than the Highway Guardrail.

Our Customers

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

Kari Carper - BDH Contracting
