A parking lot usually needs four different products, each in its place. Here is what goes where, and what each costs you in installation.

| Where | Product | Why |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Every stall facing a wall, sidewalk or another row | [Wheel stops](https://safetybollards.ca/wheel-stops) | One per stall; rubber or precast |
| Gas meters, EV chargers, building corners, columns | [Steel bollards](https://safetybollards.ca/steel-bollards), embedded | They take real hits |
| Aisle edges, walkways, drive-through lanes | [Flexible bollards](https://safetybollards.ca/flexible-bollards) | Guide without damage; survive ploughs |
| Drive lanes where cars speed | [Speed bumps](https://safetybollards.ca/speed-bumps) | Modular rubber sections by lane width |
| Old painted posts | [Bollard covers](https://safetybollards.ca/bollard-covers) | No more repainting |

## In asphalt

Bollards in an asphalt lot each need a concrete footing below frost; flexible posts anchor straight to asphalt with epoxy (Develotech’s method: four ¾ × 4 in holes, Bitu-Link, 24 h cure).
