well, more of a small barrier really....

I was considering getting one of these to ensure my driveway is not used when I am out and keep my car a bit safer when parked on my driveway.

I am thinking of installing it so it would be between where I park and the start of the driveway, rather than in some installations where you park over it in the lowered position IYSWIM

Has anyone any experience of them at all?....or any other similar products you have/can recommend, please?

I inherited a fairly lightweight hinged padlocking bollard at the moment but its been easily knocked over and I hate fiddling with the padlock in bad weather or the dark so wanted remote control really. Rising bollards are too expensive and could conflict with drainage.

    I think the problem is that a rising bollard might be the only strong solution. Any other kind of hinged solution or barrier arm is easily bent/broken if anyone is so inclined to get at your car or park on your drive. It might be a deterrent but that's about all.
