We install galvanized steel guard rail on private sites in Akron. It is most useful along the low edge of a lot cut into a hill, and around docks, tanks and building corners.
We install steel guard rail on private property: parking lots, loading docks, drive lanes, warehouse floors and the tops of slopes. Guard rail keeps vehicles away from buildings, fuel tanks, walkways and drop-offs.
Akron's terrain gives guard rail plenty to do. Parking lots are often cut into a hillside, with a retaining wall or a bank on the low side, and a rail along that edge is cheap protection. Rail here is also hit by plow blades and buried under salted snow piles, so we use galvanized rail and posts.
Posts are driven or set in concrete below frost depth outdoors, and bolted to the slab indoors. We lay the line out with you so trucks can still turn. Guard rail on a public road is a different matter and follows the road authority's standards. For private sites, call (330) 521-3641.
Guard rails in Akron: common questions
Guard rail or bollards?
Guard rail protects a long edge, such as a wall or a bank. Bollards protect a point, such as a door, a gas meter or a corner. Many sites use both.
Can guard rail be installed on an existing asphalt lot?
Yes. Posts can be driven through asphalt or set in cored holes, and the surface is patched around them.
Can a damaged section be replaced?
Yes. Guard rail is made in standard lengths that bolt together, so a hit section and its posts can be changed without touching the rest.
