How to measure
- Measure the outside diameter of the post, not the pipe size. A “6 in” pipe bollard is usually about 6⅝ in outside (Reliance Foundry’s 6 in pipe bollard is 6⅝ in).
- Measure the height above grade, then pick the cover height that covers it (a little taller is fine; the dome sits on top).
- Count every post, including the ones you don’t think need it: a mixed row looks worse than an old one.
Installing
Post Guard’s instructions: centre the two foam strips that come with the cover over the bollard and slide the cover down. No tools; a cover can be swapped in a minute when it’s scuffed.
Questions
Do bollard covers fit square posts?
Round covers need round posts. For square or very large posts ask in the quote request; some makers sell other shapes.
