Description

The RetractaPost 500 is a simple and effective way to stop unwanted vehicles from using your driveway, forecourt, car park, or commercial premises.

To raise it, open the integral lid, lift the post by its grab handle, and turn it 45° to latch it upright. A padlock then fits between the post and the lid to secure it. When you need access, reverse the process and the post drops fully below ground, with the lid closing over the top.

It stands 500mm tall when raised and is made from galvanised mild steel with a 3mm wall. Light and easy to operate, it suits both homes and businesses.

Padlocks are sold separately.

  • Height: 500mm above ground (raised)
  • Depth: 760mm below ground
  • Material: Galvanised mild steel
  • Wall Thickness: 3mm
  • Lock: Padlock (not supplied)
  • Recommended Spacing: No more than 1200mm apart
  • Installation Hole: At least 900mm deep and 300mm in diameter, with drainage chippings at the base and the top 300mm to 400mm in concrete
  • Lid Position: No more than 10mm above finished ground level
