Q: What is a surface mount bollard?
A: Surface mount bollards are pipes with a base plate that are mounted to the roadway asphalt or concrete surface. Typically used in parking lots and building entrances, these bollards are not designed to stop vehicles or avoid ant-ram incidents. Surface mount bollards are used for architectural purposes or to act as a visual (not physical) deterrent for vehicles.

Facility or property managers requiring a more robust barrier, designed to physically stop a vehicle from breaching unauthorized areas, should consider a crash rated fixed bollard or MinuteMan retractable bollard barrier system.
