Bike Parking Installation Details

Our bike parking products are quick & easy to install, and come complete with easy to understand instructions.

Reliance Foundry brings over 80 years of casting experience to the forefront in the design and manufacture of our bike parking products. Our metal bike racks, bike bollards and bike lockers are used as stand-alone architectural site features and perimeter highlight. Additionally, our bike bollards can be installed as covers over steel security posts.

We offer unique bike parking products models in steel, iron, stainless steel, and aluminum; these are excellent alternatives to concrete, cement and wooden bollards.

Reliance Foundry has made every effort to provide bike racks, bicycle bollards, and cycle storage lockers that can be easily installed and maintained.

Our bike parking products employ several distinct mounting methods:

• Decorative Bike Bollard Installations
  • Some bike bollards are intended purely for ornament. As standalone architectural or landscaping features, they can border, divide, or define a space. They can be accents.
  • Our standard bike bollard installation system is intended to mount our bike bollards in place where no security (interior) pipe bollards are required.
  • Further details on our decorative bike bollard mounting options.
• Removable Bike Bollard Installations
  • Our removable bike bollards are available for single-use, "emergency-access" installations.
  • Our standard bike bollard mounting system can be modified using our optional "removable mounting kit" for quick removal of our many of our bike bollard models.

• Security Pipe Bike Bollard Installations
  • Our security bike bollard mounting system is intended to set our bike bollard covers in place over top of new or existing steel pipe bollards (steel posts).
  • Site security is a major concern in today's unpredictable world. Public and private buildings, government facilities, campuses and public parks are all susceptible to accidental or deliberate vehicle infringement. Security bike bollards placed at ingress points are an excellent way to guard against vehicle intrusion while still allowing pedestrian access.
  • Reliance Foundry's bike bollard covers provide a practical enhancement to the otherwise dull, steel, perimeter security bollard — allowing a decorative form to take precedence over top of unattractive pipe barriers.

General Installation Details

All our Bike bollards, bicycle racks and cycle storage lockers come with a strong, long-lasting powder coat finish. Click here for further details on our color, coating, and finish options. It is essential to protect this finish from damage during installation.

• Keep all parts in their packaging until the exact moment of installation.
• During installation, place unwrapped powder coated parts on packaging foam or other non-abrasive surface.
• Do not place, slide or drag powder coated parts on concrete or other hard or abrasive surfaces – this will damage the finish causing rust to occur.
• If abrasions or scratches occur during installation, it is important to use touch-up paint to repair any finish discontinuities (download our Bike Parking Care & Maintenance instructions).

Our metal bike parking products can be quite heavy – depending on the model and material selected. Take all precautions to avoid injury from falling onto hands, feet, etc., and ensure proper resources are available for lifting of these parts into place and onto their mountings.

Where rows of bike bollards, racks or lockers are to be installed, use a chalk line to make sure all parts are aligned correctly. This will provide a uniform look after completion of installation.
