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.
The festive season is notorious for a surge in crime, from shoplifting and vandalism to targeted theft of fleet vehicles and high-value assets. As your business winds down for the year, your site could become an attractive target for opportunistic criminals. But don’t panic—Aremco Barriers is here to help you safeguard what matters most.

?? Why Security Matters Now More Than Ever
Many commercial and industrial sites reduce operations or close completely during the holidays. This leaves valuable stock, parked fleet vehicles, and expensive equipment vulnerable. Fleet theft—fuel, catalytic converters, and parts—peaks during this period, while unattended sites are at risk of break-ins and vandalism.

Without proper security measures, staff absence creates an environment where criminals feel emboldened. Don’t let your business be caught off guard this Christmas.

?? Your Solution: Aremco Barriers
At Aremco Barriers, we provide high-quality security solutions that protect businesses year-round. Our products are designed to deter and withstand even the most determined threats.
Whether you need anti-ram bollards or manual swing gates, we have the expertise and solutions to fortify your premises. Trusted by logistics, manufacturing, and retail industries, our systems are built to protect valuable assets and give you peace of mind—even when you’re away enjoying the festivities.

?? Don’t Wait Until It’s Too Late!
With only 5 Fridays left until Christmas, the time to act is now. Strengthen your site’s defenses and make life difficult for would-be intruders. A secure business is a successful business, and we’re here to make sure your operations stay protected well into the new year.

Visit Aremco Barriers (www.aremcobarriers.co.uk) today to explore our range of robust security solutions.

?? This Christmas, give your business the gift of security. Keep your assets safe, your staff reassured, and those Grinch-like criminals firmly out in the cold.

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.

Wheel stops also help 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.

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.

6. Wood: Wood bollards offer a natural and rustic appearance, blending seamlessly with outdoor environments such as parks, trails, and recreational areas. While not as durable as metal or concrete bollards, wood bollards can be treated or coated to enhance longevity and weather conditions.

7. Aluminium: Aluminium bollards are lightweight, corrosion-resistant, and easy to install. They are commonly used in commercial and residential settings where aesthetics and ease of maintenance are important. Aluminium bollards can be powder-coated in various colours to match architectural themes or branding.

The choice of material for bollards depends on factors such as the intended application, level of security required, environmental conditions, and aesthetic preferences. By selecting the appropriate material, bollards can effectively fulfill their intended function while enhancing the safety, security, and visual appeal of their surroundings.

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.

Types of Security Bollard

Security bollards come in various types, each designed to cater to specific security needs. The most common types include:

Fixed Bollards
These bollards are permanently installed and provide a high level of security. Fixed bollards are ideal for areas that require a consistent level of protection, such as government buildings, critical infrastructure, and high-security zones.

Removable Bollards

Removable bollards offer flexibility and allow controlled access when required. These bollards can be easily installed or removed, making them suitable for areas that need occasional access, such as loading docks and emergency vehicle entry points.

Automatic Bollards

Automatic bollards are electronically operated and can be raised or lowered as needed. They offer the convenience of remote control and are commonly used in areas with varying security needs, such as car-free zones, car parks, and private driveways.

Decorative Bollards

Decorative bollards combine security with aesthetics, blending seamlessly into the architectural design of a property. These bollards are often used in historical sites, parks, and public spaces where visual appeal is essential.

Benefits of Using Security Bollards

The benefits of using security bollards extend beyond their primary function of property protection. Here are some key advantages:

Enhanced Safety
Security bollards create a safer environment by reducing the risk of accidents caused by unauthorised vehicles. They help to maintain order and prevent chaotic situations in crowded areas.

Crime Deterrence
The presence of security bollards acts as a visual deterrent, discouraging criminals from targeting a property. The physical barrier created by bollards makes it difficult for vehicles to gain access, significantly reducing the risk of theft, ramming attacks, and vandalism.

Customisation Options
Security bollards are available in a wide range of designs, materials, and finishes, allowing property owners to choose options that complement their surroundings. This customisation ensures that the bollards not only provide security but also enhance the overall aesthetics of the property.

Long-lasting Durability
Security bollards are designed to withstand high impacts, making them a reliable solution for long-term property protection. They are constructed using robust materials such as steel or concrete, ensuring their durability and resistance to harsh weather conditions.

Cost-effective Solution
Investing in security bollards is a cost-effective measure compared to the potential losses incurred from property damage or theft. The long lifespan of bollards minimises the need for frequent replacements, making them a worthwhile investment.

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.

Frequently Asked Questions about Height Restriction Barriers

What are Height Restriction Barriers?

Physical barriers, such as height restriction barriers, are usually made from steel or plastic and are designed to restrict the height of vehicles passing through them. They are typically used in car parks, garages, and other areas where vehicles need to be controlled for safety and security reasons.

What materials are Height Restriction Barriers made of?

Plastic and galvanised steel are two materials that can be used to make Height Restriction Barriers. While plastic barriers are lightweight and easy to move, metal barriers can provide greater security and are more durable.

How do Height Restriction Barriers improve Road Safety?

As oversized vehicles cannot enter areas where pedestrians or other drivers are at risk, Height Restriction Barriers can provide improved road safety. High-restriction barriers can also reduce accidents that can occur when vehicles collide with low-hanging objects.

What are the Benefits of Using Height Restriction Barriers in Car Parks and Garages?

Parking garages and car parks can benefit from height restriction barriers in several ways, including increased security, better traffic flow, and improved safety.

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.
