The terms stanchion cover, bollard cover, and bumper post sleeve all refer to sheathing, originally manufactured in high-density polyethylene, which slides over an existing bollard. The bollard cover was originally manufactured by means of a process called rotational molding. The purpose of this invention, patented [[1]] by Frank Venegas, Jr. on November 12, 2002, is to eliminate general maintenance such as painting. Mr. Venegas knew that the benefits of the product were needed in multiple industries. Eager to start manufacturing the product (while patents were still pending) he founded Ideal Shield, LLC.
The apparatus is now commonly used in many different industries ranging from gas stations, retail storefronts, warehouses, banks, and parking lots. Since its creation bollard covers have evolved from a simple dome shaped design to being available in many ornamental forms. Some of these include the pawn shape, ribbed shape, and even lighted bollard covers. If you would like to take a look at the many different styles available, check out the Ideal Shield web site.
