Security Posts

Security posts are the cheapest, simplest way to stop your driveway being used as an overflow car park — or your vehicle being driven off it. We install them across domestic driveways and commercial premises.

About our security posts service

Security posts come in three main types: fixed (concrete-set, immovable), removable (lifted out with a key), and telescopic (drop into the ground when not needed). For most domestic driveways, telescopic is the right choice — you can drop it flush when you're parking yourself, then raise it when you're out. For commercial premises and car parks, fixed steel bollards in a hot-dip galvanised finish give 25+ years of protection. All our posts are properly socketed into concrete to BS EN standards. Where you have multiple posts (for example, blocking off a wide driveway entrance) we space them at 1.2m centres — close enough to stop a vehicle, wide enough for pedestrians. We've installed security posts across Stourbridge, Dudley, Wolverhampton and the wider West Midlands for both homeowners and businesses, and we can match the powder-coated finish to your existing gates or fencing.

    Sockets cored or dug to the right depth (typically 600mm) — enough to anchor against vehicle impact.

  3. 3

    Concrete set

    Posts set into structural concrete and left to cure for at least 48 hours before use.

  4. 4

    Finishing & keys

    Powder-coat top-up where needed, keys handed over, instructions for any locking mechanism.

Security Posts — Frequently Asked Questions

Can a security post really stop a vehicle?+

Yes — a properly socketed steel security post will stop or seriously deter any normal-size vehicle. We follow BS standards for socket depth and concrete spec, so the post is the strongest point, not the ground around it.

Do I need planning permission for security posts?+

Not for domestic driveways. Commercial installations sometimes need planning approval, especially around shop frontages — we'll flag this at the site visit.

Can the post match my existing gates?+

Yes — most posts come in standard powder-coat colours (black, anthracite grey, white) and we can also source custom RAL colours to match existing gates or fencing.
