Rain, glare, and temperature swings do nothing to an HDPE post, which is why the Tempest lives outside year-round where painted metal stanchions wear out. The weighted base, molded from 100% recycled rubber, sits low and heavy so the post stays planted on an outdoor walkway or across a parking area. Clip the retractable belt to the next post to form a lane, or mount signage and let the Tempest work as a freestanding sign stand at an entry or along a work zone. Either way it moves where you need it and asks for nothing beyond a rinse.
