Anti-Ram Bollards
Anti-ram bollards are heavy duty protective posts installed around storefronts, entries, walkways, and loading areas to help prevent vehicle impact and keep people safe. They’re a smart upgrade for retail, offices, medical buildings, schools, and multifamily properties especially where parking sits close to glass and doors. Our team helps you choose the right bollard layout, spacing, and placement to reduce ram-raid risk, protect key access points, and guide traffic without making your property look industrial.
We provide fixed steel bollards, removable bollards for controlled access, and decorative options that match your building’s design. For higher-risk locations, we can recommend crash-rated solutions and reinforced installations. Bollards pair perfectly with security glazing, forced entry protection, and roll-down shutters to create a complete perimeter strategy. From site review to clean installation, we deliver code conscious protection that looks professional and performs when it matters most.
Types of anti-ram bollards
Not every storefront requires the same level of defense. We offer a variety of bollard types to balance security with convenience:
- Fixed steel bollards: Permanent, high-strength protection for storefronts and pedestrian zones.
- Removable & fold-down bollards: Ideal for areas requiring occasional vehicle access, such as delivery bays or emergency lanes.
- Decorative & aesthetic sleeves: Professional finishes that hide raw steel, ensuring your security measures complement your architecture rather than detract from it.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a security bollard?
A security bollard is a sturdy, vertical post anchored into the ground to protect buildings, assets, and pedestrians from vehicle impacts. While they act as a physical barrier to stop or slow down a vehicle, they are designed to allow people and wheelchairs to pass through freely. They are commonly used to prevent “ram-raid” burglaries and accidental storefront crashes.
Do bollards require a permit for installation?
In many commercial settings, especially when installed on or near public sidewalks, a permit is required. California Security Glass helps navigate local municipal codes to ensure your bollards are compliant with safety and accessibility regulations.
What is the difference between a standard bollard and a crash-rated bollard?
Standard bollards provide excellent protection against low-speed accidental impacts. Crash-rated bollards (such as K-rated or ASTM-rated) are engineered and tested to stop vehicles of specific weights traveling at high speeds, designed specifically to thwart intentional ramming attacks.
Do you offer bollards that don’t look like "yellow pipes"?
Absolutely. While safety yellow is common for high-visibility areas, we offer stainless steel finishes, decorative cast-iron sleeves, and custom colors to ensure your security matches your brand’s aesthetic.
