Frequently Asked Questions

Post Guard Bollard Covers

 

What is the purpose of the reflective tape on the sleeves?

The reflective tape actually increases the visibility of the sleeves. During the day the reflective tape offers a color contrast increasing the visibility. At night the increased visibility comes from the tape being reflective.

 

Will I need to purchase any installation material?

No. Your order will include all of the needed installation material, no additional tools are needed.

 

Why should someone buy a bollard cover?

The Post Guard is maintenance free and removes the need to continually scrape and repaint the existing pipe bollards. Scraping and painting a bollard usually costs about $15.00 to $25.00 to paint each time. The Post Guard can virtually pay for itself!

 

How soon will my order ship?

Our warehouse has an inventory of over 25,000 sleeves.  Orders normally ship within 2 business days of being placed.

 

Where will the sleeves ship from and how long will it take?

Simon Marketing Group usually ships sleeves from Kansas, normally the sleeves will arrive within 3 to 5 business days.

 

What are the inside diameters of the covers?

What material are the sleeves made from?

HDPE – High Density Polyethylene Plastics

 

How much taller can the post covers be beyond the height of the actual post?

Post Guard mold heights are optimally designed to increase visibility of the post and are regularly used to increase the height of the post.

 

Are the sleeves guaranteed against fading?

For 5 years. Post Guards contain the maximum amount of UV protection.

 

What if I have a 2" or 3" post, won't the 4.5 cover be too big?

Not at all. Just tell Simon Marketing Group the actual size of the post that needs to be covered. We can ensure the proper installation material for our customary secure fit over the post.

 

How easy is it to cut a Post Guard Sleeve in the field?

Post Guard sleeves are easily trimmed by using a variety of electric and manual cutting tools.

 

Can I order the Post Guards without reflective tape?

Absolutely!

 

Will the Post Guards protect vehicles from door dings?

During installation, a thin layer of foam is placed between the post and the Post Guard. This foam barrier cushions a blow, providing extra vehicle protection.
