Bollard Post - Steel Safety Barrier Protection- Yellow Powder Coat 5.5" Diameter 36" Tall BW5536

First off I want to say, I tried to find the contact information for this seller before posting this review for a few simple reasons.I come from a family tree of generational military members. As far as I know my family has served back to the Spanish American War, and in nearly every conflict since. I wanted to Share my experience with them as a courtesy before going public. I value those that serve and have served our nation in times of war and peace. Regrettably I was unable to do so...The package arrive quickly, it was lighter than expected but that was okay by me as the price was spot on. Speaking of spot on, the reflective sticker was cleverly placed to mask the appearance of a massive dent. Which was kind of shady. If the sticker had followed the contour of the dent you could easy argue it was damaged in shipping but the box was perfect and the sticker was floating over the dent creating an air bubble. There were additional dents, smaller in size on the pole. I figured.... someone is going to hit the damn pole anyways so no big deal at this point I guess. My biggest issue with the pole was the fact it had been welded poorly down the seam and even worse on a puncture elsewhere on the pole.Being that I was in a tight spot on time I had to install the pole the next day anyways. Which ultimately is what bothers me most. Now the work I did will be associated with the sub par pole I installed. Which looks bad for me and my company.I’m sure they would have made things right and sent me another one had I actually had time to pursue the matter. Maybe that one would have been better? Who knows.... you get what you pay for I guess. Hopefully this was a fluke occurrence and not a routine deal for the company. After all it would be a shame if someone used their veteran status to try and make a quick buck.

This product was delivered with a broken cap. Also, I bought two of these at the same time and they were literally different size by about two inches. The only option was to send them back but these are heavy and the packaging was already removed. They actually look terrible with different sizes and a broken cap.

I used this product for my water heater installation. California requires a safety bollard be installed in front of it. This worked great I needed 5/8ths 4 inch bolts to install this into the concrete slab the 3/8th recommended is way to small. I ended up buying those concrete bolts from Home Depot and using a saws all to cut down the concrete bolts down to 3 and a half inches because the slab is only 4 inches deep.

Install this on a concrete base then topped with asphalt - installation was easy enough, but the yellow badly faded within 8 months.

Bought three for my small commercial building. Arrived promptly and well packaged. Solid heavy duty construction and nicely finished. An outstanding value. Well worth the price.

Installed two of these in my parking lot and they have worked well. You can fill them with concrete for additional strength, but it’s really not necessary.

It came a little dented and out of round at the top but still functional.

This was required by the building department for the hot water tank in the garage. It’s metal and very sturdy.
