Bought a Mole Post for DIY installation, and collected it directly from Aremco without any issue - the post was waiting for me having spoken to Julia previously to check in stock. Post was extremely easy to install and now it’s in place it’s an extremely good deterrent. With the depth of installation, there is no danger of it being ripped out! The quality of the post is first-class and is excellent value when compared to others on the market. Would certainly recommend it!! 5 stars for sure.

?? 5 FRIDAYS LEFT UNTIL CHRISTMAS! ??
The countdown to Christmas is on, and while employees across the UK are buzzing with festive excitement, criminals are plotting their next move.
For businesses, the holiday shutdown can unintentionally open the door to increased risks.

?? Why Security Matters Now More Than Ever

Fleet theft—fuel, catalytic converters, and parts—peaks during this period, while unattended sites are at risk of break-ins and vandalism.

Wheel Stops
Why Wheel Stops Are Essential for Parking Lot Safety?
Parking lots are a common sight in most urban areas, and they serve as a convenient place for vehicle owners to park their cars. However, parking lots can also be a hotbed of accidents, especially when it comes to pedestrian safety. In such cases, wheel stops can be a lifesaver. Wheel stops are essential for parking lot safety as they serve as a physical barrier that prevents cars from moving beyond a designated point, thereby reducing the risk of accidents. They are also useful in creating a safe and organized parking lot layout, which can help reduce traffic congestion and make it easier for drivers to navigate. In this article, we will explore in detail why wheel stops are crucial for parking lot safety and how they can help prevent accidents and injuries. So, if you are interested in learning more about parking lot safety and the importance of wheel stops, read on!
The Purpose of Wheel Stops
Wheel stops, also known as parking bumpers or parking blocks, are a type of barrier that is used to prevent cars from rolling too far forward or backward when they are parked. They are usually made of concrete, rubber, or plastic and are placed at the end of a parking space, adjacent to a wall or curb. The primary purpose of a wheel stop is to provide a physical barrier that prevents cars from moving beyond a designated point. This is important for pedestrian safety, as it reduces the risk of cars accidentally hitting pedestrians or other objects.
Another purpose of wheel stops is to create a safe and organized parking lot layout. By placing wheel stops at the end of each parking space, drivers are encouraged to park within the designated area, which helps to reduce traffic congestion and improve the flow of vehicles. This also makes it easier for drivers to navigate the parking lot, as they have a clear indication of where each parking space begins and ends.
In addition to their safety benefits, wheel stops are also useful in protecting the property of the parking lot owner. By preventing cars from rolling too far forward or backward, wheel stops help to prevent damage to walls, curbs, and other structures.
Types of Wheel Stops
Wheel stops come in a variety of different materials and designs. The most common materials used for wheel stops are concrete, rubber, and plastic.
Concrete wheel stops are the most durable option and are often used in high-traffic areas. They are typically made of precast concrete and are anchored to the ground with steel rebar. Concrete wheel stops are also resistant to weather and wear and tear, making them a long-lasting option.
Rubber wheel stops are a more flexible option and are often used in areas where there is less traffic. They are typically made of recycled rubber and are anchored to the ground with spikes or screws. Rubber wheel stops are also resistant to weather and are less likely to cause damage to vehicles in the event of a collision.
Plastic wheel stops are the most lightweight option and are often used in areas where there is low traffic. They are typically made of high-density polyethylene and are anchored to the ground with spikes or screws. Plastic wheel stops are also resistant to weather and are easy to install and maintain.
Benefits of Wheel Stops for Parking Lot Safety
Wheel stops are essential for parking lot safety for several reasons. First and foremost, they provide a physical barrier that prevents cars from moving beyond a designated point. This is important for pedestrian safety, as it reduces the risk of cars accidentally hitting pedestrians or other objects.

In addition to their safety benefits, wheel stops are also useful in protecting the property of the parking lot owner. By preventing cars from rolling too far forward or backward, wheel stops help to prevent damage to walls, curbs, and other structures.
Wheel Stops vs. Curbs: Which One is Better?
When it comes to parking lot safety, both wheel stops and curbs can be effective in preventing accidents and injuries. However, there are some key differences between the two that should be taken into consideration.
Wheel stops are a physical barrier that is placed at the end of a parking space, while curbs are a raised edge that separates the parking lot from the surrounding area. Wheel stops are typically made of concrete, rubber, or plastic, while curbs are usually made of concrete or stone.
One advantage of wheel stops over curbs is that they are easier to install and maintain. Wheel stops can be anch

What are Bollards made of?
Bollards are made from various materials, each offering different properties and benefits suited to specific applications. Some common materials used in bollard construction include:
1. Steel: Steel bollards are robust and durable, making them suitable for high-traffic areas and security applications. They provide excellent impact resistance and can withstand harsh environmental conditions. Steel bollards can be galvanised or powder-coated for added corrosion resistance and aesthetics.
2. Concrete: Concrete bollards are heavy-duty and provide substantial impact resistance, making them ideal for protecting buildings infrastructure, and pedestrian areas from vehicular threats. They are often used in urban environments and high-security locations where strength and permanence are required.
3. Stainless Steel: Stainless steel bollards offer superior corrosion resistance and a sleek, modern appearance. They are commonly used in architectural and design-focused projects where aesthetics are important. Stainless steel bollards are available in brushed or polished finishes.
4. Plastic/Polymer: Plastic or polymer bollards are lightweight, cost-effective, and resistant to rust and corrosion. They are commonly used in low-impact applications such as traffic delineation, car park marking, and pedestrian safety. Plastic bollards are available in a variety of colours and can be easily installed and relocated as needed.
5. Cast Iron: Cast iron bollards combine strength and durability with traditional aesthetics, making them suitable for historic preservation projects and heritage sites. They are often used in urban landscapes, parks, and heritage districts to maintain architectural continuity while providing effective traffic control and security.

Importance of Property Protection in the UK
In an ever-changing world, ensuring the safety and security of your property has become more crucial than ever. Whether it's your business premises, residential property, or public spaces, protecting them from potential threats is of utmost importance.
That's where security bollards come into play. These modest yet powerful structures offer a robust and effective solution to safeguard your property in the UK. Designed to withstand high impact and prevent unauthorised access, security bollards act as a physical barrier, deterring potential criminals and vehicles from causing damage.
From crowded city centres to remote suburban areas, security bollards provide peace of mind, knowing that your property is protected from vehicle ramming attacks, thefts, and vandalism.
Furthermore, with the various types and styles on the market, security bollards can seamlessly blend into any architectural design, ensuring both functionality and aesthetics.
Stay one step ahead in protecting your property by investing in security bollards - a vital component in today's ever-evolving security landscape.
Importance of Property Protection in the UK
The UK is not immune to security threats, and property owners must take steps to protect their assets. Criminal activities such as vehicle ramming attacks, thefts, and vandalism can cause significant damage and disruption. Without adequate protection, properties become vulnerable targets for criminals.
In addition, public spaces and crowded areas face the risk of vehicular accidents, as unauthorised vehicles can easily access these areas. Security bollards serve as a physical deterrent, preventing such incidents and ensuring the safety of people and assets.
Security bollards act as a barrier against unauthorised access and can be strategically placed to control vehicle flow, restrict entry, or create secure boundaries. Their presence alone sends a strong message to potential criminals, deterring them from attempting any illegal activities.
In the event of an attempted vehicle ramming attack, security bollards can absorb impact and prevent the vehicle from causing substantial damage, thus safeguarding lives and property.

Frequently Asked Questions about Manual Swing Gates
Why do I need a Manual Swing Gate?
For security purposes, this reason will then help determine the size and materials needed for the Manual Swing Gate.
If security is your main concern, you will need a strong and stable Manual Swing Gate.
What are Manual Swing Gates generally made of?
Mild steel is a sturdy material and can create highly functional swing gates with security in mind. They would need to be maintained properly to prevent rust.
How do Manual Swing Gates work?
Manual swing gates are less expensive than sliding gates. The main post has adjustable hinges for the gate to be fitted. They are relatively maintenance-free as there is no motor or electronics to worry about.
How Secure are Manual Swing Gates?
Security, as with everything does depend on the size, material, and overall access control you put in place. Sometimes just seeing a gate can deter thieves from entering your premises. The stronger the material, the more secure it can be.
How much do Manual Swing Gates cost?
The cost will depend on the size and material that you require.
What are the advantages of Manual Swing Gates?
With Manual Swing Gates, they can be opened either way, which allows easier access for pedestrians and vehicles approaching from either side. Manual Swing Gates are generally more budget-friendly. They have fewer moving parts, less set-up required, and no floor track, making them cheaper to install.
What is the maximum width of a Manual Swing Gate?
For a single leaf opening 6M, this is measured from between the posts. For double leaf opening up to 12M, again this is measured between posts, and they are generally locked in the centre by either a removable post, fixed post (if you have the space), or a sliding shoot bolt with a padlock shroud. We offer the option of additional posts for locking gates in the open position. All of our Manual Swing Gates are locked employing a shoot bolt and are covered by a shroud, which you can place a padlock below.
Which way should a Manual Swing Gate open?
Ultimately, these should open inwards onto your premises.
Where is the best place to put a Manual Swing Gate?
The best place for this type of gate is at the end of the area (if possible) to be protected, and must be free from obstructions.
Do Manual Swing Gate Posts need to be cemented in?
Not necessarily, but their foundations are more secure than having them floor-mounted (bolted) to a surface.

Are Driveway Bollards worth it?
The answer is “YES”.
As a homeowner, ensuring the safety and security of your property is of paramount importance. With a rise in crime rates and the increasing need for privacy, it has become essential to take measures to protect your home and loved ones.
One such measure that has gained huge popularity in recent years is the installation of driveway bollards. These sturdy and reliable bollards not only serve as a deterrent for potential intruders but also offer a range of other benefits that make them a must-have for every homeowner.
In this article, we will explore the various reasons why driveway bollards have become a crucial addition to residential properties.
From enhancing security to preventing accidental vehicle collisions, driveway bollards offer a simple yet effective solution that ensures your peace of mind.
So, let us delve into why investing in driveway bollards is a wise decision that will elevate the safety and protection of your home to a whole new level.
The Importance of Driveway Security
When it comes to home security, unfortunately, the driveway often gets overlooked. However, it is an essential area that requires attention. Driveways are the primary access point to your property and are vulnerable to unauthorised access. Without proper security measures in place, your home and its occupants are at risk. This is why driveway security should be a top priority for homeowners.
By installing driveway bollards, you create a physical barrier that prevents unauthorised vehicles from entering your property. This acts as a powerful deterrent, keeping potential intruders at bay. Additionally, bollards provide you with control over who can access your driveway, giving you peace of mind knowing that only authorised individuals can enter your property.
Driveway bollards also play a crucial role in preventing vehicle theft. With the increasing number of car thefts, it is essential to take preventative measures to protect your vehicle. By installing driveway bollards, you create an obstacle that makes it difficult for thieves to steal your vehicle. The mere presence of driveway bollards sends a clear message that your property is secure and well-protected, making it less appealing to potential thieves.
Accidental vehicle collisions are another concern that driveway bollards address. Whether it is children playing near the driveway or visitors unfamiliar with the layout of your property, accidents can happen. By installing driveway bollards, you create a visible barrier that prevents vehicles from veering off the driveway and into potentially dangerous areas. This ensures the safety of your loved ones and minimises the risk of property damage.
In summary, driveway security is of utmost importance to ensure the safety and protection of your property. Driveway bollards are an effective solution by serving as a deterrent, preventing unauthorised access, protecting against vehicle theft, and minimising the risk of accidental collisions.
