rising bollards

Options
Does anyone know roughly how much these cost to fit, I live in NW London and have over the past few weeks had people park their cars in my driveway. Or can anyone think of a way of keeping them out.

Thanks

    I would have thought it would be much cheaper getting those bollards that lay down on the ground whilst you drive over and then lift up and locked in place that those that can be lowered into the ground

    Like these below in pdf file

    we have a drive for 2 cars, so are always either driving in or reversing out, do the lay down ones ruin your tyres?

    They can't, considering that they go between the tyres. You never need to drive over the top of them.
    Ubuntu is an ancient African word, meaning: 'I can't configure Debian'.

    Buy some very sticky paper, print your 'bog off' message and paste firmly to the windscreen. My old workplace used to do this when people parked in the emergency bays. It was hilarious watching the person have to clean it off, without easy access to water, before they could drive off. Few repeat offenders and cheap too! :D

    Couldn't you put up an overpriced wheelclamping notice, buy a cheap wheelclamp. One person caught it will have paid for itself over.

    We looked into having a clamp but I think you need a lisence to use one.

    I like the sticky paper idea though!:rotfl:
