The Details

Our 22” long model and the interlocking 47” long version.

The Problem

DrivewaySpikes™ were created to stop vehicles from u-turning where they shouldn’t, and have expanded to cover a multitude of applications. Many of our customers face problems such as:

  • Unwanted vehicles using your driveway to make a U-turn.
  • Drivers looking at your driveway, not at who or what might be in your driveway, resulting in serious safety concerns.
  • The overall safety of friends, family, pets and children caused by cars using driveways at any time.
  • Unknown vehicles loitering in private driveways.
  • Vehicles trespassing on private or closed properties/lots.

The Solution

Drivewayspikes provide a plethora of wonderful opportunities to owners for many reasons, making them the prime solution to unwanted vehicles entering your driveway. Here’s why they work so well:

  • Drivewayspikes™ discourage U-turns in your driveway
  • Give the appearance of a sharp, metal spike that would puncture tires of unwanted vehicles
  • Alternative to gates, chains, ropes, milk crates, cones, and other driveway barriers that require higher maintenance and can pose their own frustrations
  • No actual damage to vehicles and their tires while allowing you to drive over or on them with ease
  • No need to get in and out of your car when you leave or return home
