Hear from property managers and business owners across San Antonio.
They re-striped our entire shopping center lot in one weekend. The lines are sharp, the ADA spaces are perfect, and the price was very fair. Highly recommend!

We needed our parking lot re-striped and new wheel stops installed before our grand opening. They delivered ahead of schedule and the lot looks brand new. Great crew to work with.

Professional Bollard & Delineator Post Installation
Safety bollards create a physical barrier between vehicles and the people, buildings, and equipment you need to protect. Every year, thousands of vehicles crash into storefronts, gas stations, and commercial buildings, often in parking lots where a driver mistakes the accelerator for the brake. A properly installed bollard system prevents these accidental or intentional vehicle intrusions from causing serious property damage or injury.
Dash Parking Lot Striping provides bollard installation in San Antonio for both indoor and outdoor applications. We install fixed steel bollards, concrete-filled parking bollards, removable bollards, flexible delineator posts, parking guide posts, decorative bollards, and steel guardrails for commercial properties throughout the San Antonio metropolitan area. Whether you need heavy-duty posts to protect a storefront or flexible delineators to organize your parking lot layout and direct traffic, we handle the full process from site assessment to finished installation.
All of our bollard installations are engineered for the specific threat level and use case. We evaluate your property, identify potential vehicle impact angles, recommend the right solution, and install it properly, increasing driver and pedestrian safety while protecting your investment.

Steel Bollards, Delineator Posts & Guardrails
Most Common: Concrete-Filled Steel Pipe Bollards
Schedule 40 steel pipe bollards filled with concrete are the industry standard for storefront and gas station protection. A 4-inch diameter bollard set 24 inches deep can stop a 5,000 lb vehicle at low parking lot speeds. Steel bollards feature removable plastic caps and covers, with options for baked powder coat finish in safety yellow or custom colors for enhanced durability and visibility.
Protecting People & Preventing Property Damage
How Bollard Installation Works
Free Site Assessment & Planning
We evaluate your property to identify areas that need protection from vehicle intrusions including storefronts, building entrances, gas stations, EV charging stations, pedestrian walkways, and utility areas. We assess potential vehicle impact angles and recommend bollard type, spacing, and placement based on traffic patterns and local code requirements.
Bollard & Post Selection
Based on the threat level and intended use, we recommend the right solution. Concrete-filled steel bollards provide maximum impact resistance for storefront and gas station protection. Delineator posts and parking guide posts organize parking lot layout and direct traffic. Flexible bollards work well for traffic delineation. Decorative bollards with baked powder coat finish offer protection while matching your property's aesthetics.
Professional Installation
Fixed steel bollards are set in concrete footings drilled into the surface, typically 18-24 inches deep depending on diameter and intended impact resistance. Surface-mount parking bollards are anchored with heavy-duty bolts for locations where excavation isn't possible. Delineator posts are installed using specialized tools and equipment. Every bollard is plumbed, leveled, and finished with caps or covers.
Finishing & Inspection
Bollards are painted with high-visibility safety yellow (or your specified color) with baked powder coat or enamel finish for durability. Reflective tape and striping are applied for nighttime visibility. We verify spacing meets the intended vehicle exclusion width, typically 4-5 feet between posts to block passenger vehicles while allowing pedestrians, wheelchairs, and strollers to pass.
Common Questions About Bollards & Delineator Posts
How deep do bollards need to be set?
For standard vehicle impact protection, steel bollards should be set in concrete footings at least 18-24 inches deep. The depth depends on the bollard diameter, height, and the level of impact resistance needed. Storefront and gas station protection bollards that need to stop a moving vehicle require deeper footings than delineator posts used for traffic guidance.
How far apart should bollards be spaced?
For vehicle exclusion, parking bollards are typically spaced 4-5 feet apart (center to center). This gap is wide enough for pedestrians, wheelchairs, and strollers to pass through but narrow enough to block passenger vehicles. Wider spacing may be appropriate for areas where only truck access needs to be restricted.
Can bollards be installed on existing asphalt or concrete?
Yes. We core-drill into existing pavement to set bollards in concrete footings. For locations where drilling isn't practical, surface-mount parking bollards with heavy-duty anchor bolts are an alternative. Surface-mount options provide less impact resistance than embedded bollards but work well for traffic guidance and low-speed protection. We also install bollards indoors in warehouses and facilities.
What is the difference between bollards and delineator posts?
Steel safety bollards are heavy-duty physical barriers designed to stop vehicles on impact. They protect storefronts, building entrances, gas stations, and pedestrian areas from vehicle intrusions. Delineator posts and parking guide posts are lighter vertical markers used to organize parking lot layout, direct traffic, mark ADA-accessible parking, and delineate restricted stalls. Both serve important safety roles but for different threat levels.
Do bollards require maintenance?
Minimal. Steel bollards with baked powder coat finish resist rust and corrosion but should be repainted every few years to maintain visibility. Reflective tape should be replaced when it loses its reflective quality. Flexible bollards and delineator posts are essentially maintenance-free and return to upright position after impact. We recommend an annual visual inspection to check for anchor loosening or damage.
