Can anybody recommend a firm in West Seattle that can install a bollard (you know those metal poles with rounded tops that are bolted into the cement) on the side of my driveway to keep people from smashing into my house?

bollards are usually incorporated into the slab. it’s just a piece of 4″ or 6″ steel pipe set in a post hole with a little firm concrete mix. then, when the slab is poured around it, it’s filled with concrete and a rounded finish is put on top.

you could bolt one to your driveway if someone makes a steel tube with a flange at the bottom. seems like a cheaper option than cutting a hole in the slab and trying to incorporate it, but i don’t know that it would withstand impact.

call a residential gate/fencing outfit. they’ll point you in the right direction.
