Vehicle Barrier (Bollard in the Garage)

I'm one of those who has never heard the term.

In my area, the garage is the location for the water heater and washer/dryer (no furnace).  Typically I see a raised area around the perimeter of the parking area which offers the same protection.

Steve, When I was in the HVAC business, it was always fun to sell someone a new furnace, water heater or both when they didn't stop in time. 

I'm laughing out loud.  I missed the title.

I have never heard of the word, probably because folks don't park in my basement. 

It took me a minute to realize that you were referring to hot waters heaters, HVACs, etc., installed in garages.

It's early.  I'm still on my first cup.

Steve, won't I look so smart the next inspection when I refer to the "bollard"! I see them often enough, and the lack of them, when the oil tank is in the garage. It is not too common here to see any mechanicals in the garage, although I have.

Good photo Steve.  They put bollards here outdoors too when AC units are placed behind and between townhouses and driveways are beside each.  I notice your earthquake strap too, something we do not see here at all!

Steve, what I like is when I Karate kick them and they tip over :)

I saw a post about that bollard kicking once...  can't remember who's it was.

Is that the method of inspectiong bollards taught at the college. Karate kick 'em and see if they stand:)

I talk about bollards but depending upon which side of town I am on, some folks think I am talking about billiards. <sigh>
