Frequently Asked Questions
6 inch Round 56 inch Red Smooth Post Sleeves
What size post does this 6-inch red sleeve fit?
It fits standard 6-inch schedule 40 pipe with a 6.625-inch OD. The sleeve's inside diameter is 6.875 inches.
Is any special hardware needed for installation?
No. The sleeve slides over the bollard from the top — no tools, screws, or adhesives required.
Will the red color hold up in outdoor weather?
Yes. UV-stabilized LDPE resists fading, cracking, and degradation from sun, rain, and temperature changes.
What does the red color indicate for safety purposes?
Per OSHA standards, red designates fire protection, danger, stop signals, and emergency equipment.
Why choose smooth post sleeves over ribbed covers?
Smooth post sleeves provide a clean, sleek, professional appearance — ideal for retail storefronts, office parks, shopping centers, and customer-facing environments where aesthetics matter. Ribbed covers are better for high-traffic industrial environments where maximum impact resistance is the priority. Both styles offer the same weather resistance and no-maintenance HDPE construction.
Why is the 8-inch smooth post sleeve 57 inches tall instead of 56?
The 8-inch diameter smooth post sleeve is manufactured at 57 inches to accommodate the slightly different tooling and mold dimensions for the larger diameter. Functionally, the 1-inch height difference is negligible and the sleeve can still be trimmed to any shorter height with a standard saw for a perfect fit.
Are extended 72-inch heights available in smooth post sleeves?
Extended 72-inch heights are currently only available in ribbed style for 6-inch and 8-inch diameters. If you need a taller cover with a smooth appearance, contact us at [email protected] or call (800) 869-9633 to discuss custom options. View our 72-inch ribbed covers as an alternative.
