Parking stops for garages, parking lots, and curbs from Checkers offer superior vehicle and motion safety. Parking stops are made from either recycled plastic or recycled rubber allowing this durable product to remain outside during all kinds of weather. Parking stops from Checkers are designed to outlast concrete alternatives and require no painting or maintenance to upkeep.

Parking stops are also available in high-visibility colors that will alert drivers to the presence of the parking stops. ADA/DDA color options are also available. Parking stops from Checkers are ideal for providing a safe environment for vehicles and pedestrians.

Are Checkers parking stops easy to install, and what surfaces are they compatible with?

Yes. Checkers parking stops are designed for straightforward installation on asphalt and concrete surfaces. Their flexible construction allows them to conform to uneven pavement.

For asphalt, 1/2 inch rebar spikes are driven through the mounting holes into pre-drilled holes approximately 3 to 4 inches deep. For concrete, 1/2 inch or 5/8 inch lag bolts with plastic shields are used. Pilot holes are drilled, shields are inserted to the required depth, and the parking stop is secured with lag bolts.

Installation requires standard tools such as a heavy duty drill with a masonry bit and basic anchoring hardware. Once installed, parking stops require minimal maintenance, with periodic inspection and tightening of anchors as needed.

What are the differences between rubber, plastic, and concrete parking stops for outdoor parking lots and garages?

Rubber, plastic, and concrete parking stops are essential for organizing parking areas, preventing vehicle damage, and protecting pedestrians and infrastructure. Concrete stops are the traditional choice, valued for their weight and stability, but they are very heavy and can crack, chip, or deteriorate from freeze-thaw cycles or impact over time—often requiring frequent maintenance and repainting. In contrast, rubber and plastic parking stops are much lighter, making installation and repositioning fast and easy for a single person without heavy equipment. They are also low-maintenance, highly weather-resistant, and far less likely to chip or crack, providing better long-term value—especially in climates with temperature extremes or high precipitation.

Checkers parking stops, made from premium recycled rubber and plastics, take durability and performance a step further: these models resist UV, moisture, oils, and chemicals, retain their color, and work well on uneven surfaces without "popping up." Most Checkers stops can be installed by one person and come in multiple high-visibility colors—including ADA/DDA compliant options—for maximum safety and flexibility. Unlike concrete alternatives, Checkers rubber and plastic stops are maintenance-free and easily relocated as parking layouts change, providing a reliable, cost-effective choice for both outdoor and indoor parking areas.
