Permissions and groundwork in Tullibody
In Scotland the council is the roads authority for local roads, which in Tullibody means Clackmannanshire Council. Fold-down parking posts on an adopted footway need its consent; trunk roads sit with Transport Scotland.
If your site in Tullibody is listed or inside a conservation area, check with the local planning authority (Clackmannanshire Council) before choosing a finish — heritage settings often favour cast iron or painted steel over stainless.
Where the car park has heating cables or a membrane, the fixing method is agreed before drilling. Underground car park decks and podium slabs may contain reinforcement, post-tensioned tendons or waterproofing, and drilling must not damage them, so scanning and confirmation from the building manager come first.
- Get the landlord's or management company's agreement before fixing posts in a shared car park.
- Do not fit posts that block emergency access routes or reduce the usable width of a fire lane.
Installation, step by step
Survey the bay
A free site survey looks at the surface, the bay layout and where wheels run. You receive a fixed written quote for the posts, locks and any concrete pad.
Position the post
The post is placed where your car can straddle it when folded, usually central to the bay entrance, so tyres do not run over the hinge every day.
Check operation
The post is raised, locked, unlocked and folded several times, and the folded height is checked against your car's clearance.
Finishes and options
| Option | Detail |
|---|---|
| Padlocked posts | Simple and easy to rekey by changing the padlock. Choose a shrouded padlock to resist bolt croppers. |
| Integral key lock | Built-in cylinder lock with no loose parts; can often be supplied keyed alike across a development. |
| Finishes and visibility | Yellow, black or grey powder coat, with reflective bands so the raised post is visible at night. |
Pricing fold-down parking posts in Tullibody
Two Tullibody jobs with the same number of posts can price quite differently. The usual reasons:
- Car park decks needing scanning before drilling
- Post style: single, T-bar or hoop
- Surface type and whether a concrete pad is needed
Keeping them working
Replace padlocks that have become stiff or rusty before they seize. Oil the hinge pin and lubricate the lock a few times a year, and check the anchor bolts are still tight, especially in the first months.
We can also service, repair or replace existing posts anywhere in Tullibody.

Anti-tamper bolt heads or caps make it much harder, and the bolts are covered by the post when it is upright on many designs. Resin anchors set into concrete are also hard to remove without tools and time.

Yes, they are a common way to keep a charging bay free for the vehicle that needs it. Position the post so it does not interfere with the charging cable route or the charger itself.
