Bollard & Bumper Post Installation on Boston's North Shore
Protect your storefront, your customers, and your business.
Every year, thousands of vehicles crash into storefronts across the country — often in parking lots where cars are just feet from the front door. One misplaced foot on the gas pedal can shatter glass, destroy inventory, and put your customers and employees in danger.
Bollards — also known as bumper posts — are the proven, affordable way to stop that from happening. These heavy-duty steel posts are anchored deep in concrete in front of your building, creating a physical barrier that stops a vehicle before it reaches your storefront.
Geo Brothers Fence installs commercial-grade bollards for stores, restaurants, gas stations, banks, medical offices, schools, and industrial facilities throughout Boston's North Shore. Family-owned and operated since 1996, we do the job right the first time — at a fair price.

Why Install Bollards in Front of Your Business?
- Stop storefront crashes. A concrete-filled steel bollard stops a vehicle in its tracks, protecting your entrance, windows, and everyone inside.
- Protect pedestrians and customers. Bollards create a safe walkway between your parking lot and your front door.
- Guard valuable equipment. Shield gas meters, propane tanks, electrical boxes, HVAC units, loading docks, and drive-thru lanes from vehicle damage.
- Reduce liability and insurance risk. A storefront crash can mean lawsuits, lost business, and costly repairs. Bollards are inexpensive protection by comparison.
- Control traffic. Keep vehicles out of pedestrian areas, walkways, and restricted zones without blocking foot traffic.
Our Bollard Installation Services
Geo Brothers Fence installs bollards built to take a hit and last for decades:
- Steel pipe bollards — heavy-wall steel pipe (typically 4" to 8" diameter), set deep into a concrete footing and filled with concrete for maximum stopping power.
- Safety yellow or custom finishes — high-visibility safety yellow paint, or plastic bollard covers in a range of colors that never need repainting.
- Removable and flush-mount bollards — for driveways, loading zones, and areas that need occasional vehicle access.
- Bollard replacement and repair — we remove damaged or rusted posts and install new ones.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a bollard?
A bollard is a short, heavy-duty post — usually steel filled with concrete — installed in the ground to stop vehicles from entering a protected area. In front of stores, they're often called bumper posts or safety posts.
How deep are bollards installed?
Most commercial bollards are set 2 to 4 feet into the ground in a poured concrete footing, depending on the size of the post and the level of protection needed. Deeper, wider footings provide more stopping power.
How far apart should bollards be spaced?
Bollards protecting a storefront are typically spaced 3 to 5 feet apart — close enough to stop a car, but wide enough for foot traffic, strollers, and wheelchairs to pass through comfortably.
How much does bollard installation cost?
Cost depends on the number of posts, size, site conditions, and finish. Because every property is different, we provide a free on-site estimate with a firm written price before any work begins.
Do bollards need maintenance?
Painted steel bollards may need occasional repainting. Many of our customers choose plastic bollard covers, which resist fading and never need paint. Concrete-filled steel posts themselves last for decades.
How long does installation take?
Most storefront bollard jobs are completed in one day, plus concrete curing time before the posts are ready to take an impact.
