8" Bollard Covers with Reflective Tape

8" Bollard Covers with Reflective Tape

The 8" BollardGard™ Bollard Cover with Reflective Tape provides a durable, low-maintenance way to improve the appearance and visibility of large steel bollards. Designed to fit bollards up to 8-5/8" outside diameter, the cover conceals rust, chipped or faded paint, discoloration, and weathered surfaces while creating a clean, uniform finished appearance.

Manufactured from .125" thick high-density polyethylene (HDPE), each cover incorporates two recessed 1" reflective tape bands made from 3M™ #5100 Scotchlite™ reflective film. The recessed bands improve visibility in lower-light environments while maintaining a clean, integrated appearance.

BollardGard™ is UV stable for indoor and outdoor applications and is backed by a 5-year warranty against cracking and fading. Foam installation material is included for quick installation and to help accommodate clearance between the existing bollard and the cover. GripperTabs™ are available by request for compatible applications.

Available Heights

The 8" Reflective BollardGard™ cover is available in 52" and 72" standard heights. Both sizes have the same 9.125" inside diameter and are designed to fit bollards up to 8-5/8" outside diameter.

Custom lengths are also available with no cutting charge. For the best installation, select a cover approximately 2"–4" taller than the existing bollard to accommodate variations in bollard height and concrete domes.

Please note: Custom-cut bollard covers are non-returnable.

Reflective Visibility

Each cover includes two recessed 1" reflective tape bands. The recessed design helps protect the tape edges while providing a clean appearance and increased visibility around parking areas, loading zones, warehouses, traffic lanes, and other vehicle or pedestrian environments.

The reflective material is 3M™ #5100 Scotchlite™ Film and is available in black, blue, green, orange, red, white, and yellow.

How to Determine the Correct Bollard Cover Size

This 8" BollardGard™ cover has a 9.125" inside diameter and is designed to fit bollards measuring up to 8-5/8" outside diameter.

For the most accurate measurement, measure straight across the widest part of the existing bollard to determine its outside diameter (OD). This method works best when the top of the bollard is accessible and is not obstructed by excess concrete.

If measuring the outside diameter directly is difficult, measure the circumference of the bollard and divide by 3.14 (π):

Outside Diameter = Circumference ÷ 3.14

For example, a bollard with a circumference of approximately 27.1" has an outside diameter of approximately 8.63", which is approximately the maximum recommended bollard diameter for this cover.

For additional help, download and print our Bollard Cover Sizing Guide at 100% scale and use it as a reference when selecting the correct cover size.

If you are unsure which size is appropriate for your existing bollard, contact LineDividers before ordering and we can help determine the correct cover.

Choosing the Correct Height

Select from 52" or 72" standard heights or request a custom-cut length.

For the best finished installation, select a cover approximately 2"–4" taller than the exposed bollard height. This additional height helps accommodate concrete domes and small variations between installed steel bollards.

When multiple covers are being installed throughout the same property, using a consistent finished cover height can create a cleaner and more uniform appearance even when the underlying bollards vary slightly in height.

Custom-cut covers are non-returnable.

Installation

BollardGard™ covers are designed for quick installation using the included foam strips. The foam helps center and secure the cover around the existing bollard while accommodating variations in bollard diameter. No drilling into the existing bollard is required.

Why Use Bollard Covers?

Exposed steel bollards can require recurring maintenance as paint fades, chips, peels, and exposes the underlying surface to weathering. BollardGard™ covers provide a cleaner alternative by enclosing the existing post rather than repeatedly sanding and repainting it.

For facilities with multiple bollards, covers also provide a more consistent appearance by creating a uniform color, finish, diameter, and installed height. The recessed reflective bands make this model especially useful in areas where increased visibility is desired.
