How to Make Your New Car Park Welcoming, Productive and Safe

If you've just waved goodbye to your paving contractor, you may now have a perfectly smooth and shiny black car park next to your new retail facility. It won't be long before you open your doors, welcome all your new guests and start making some money, but first, you've got some finishing touches to complete. In particular, you have to transform your car park so that it represents a logical and welcoming environment and an asset that can help you make even more cash. How can you do this?

Doing It Right

You only have so much land available, and you've made your car park as big as possible, based on these parameters. You must capitalise on this space, however, to make sure that you can get as many cars into the facility as possible while making it easy for drivers to manoeuvre. Some people think that they can get a template of some kind and paint these lines themselves, but if you want the job to look good and to be professional, you need to get a line marking machine instead.

Making the Job Easier

These machines are purpose-made for the job and will make your task a great deal easier. Each machine has a set of rollers inboard, connected to paint tanks. It will produce lines that are arrow straight and perfectly clean, so you won't have to worry about making any manual errors. Furthermore, the paint delivery will be consistent, and the colour will also be uniform, while wastage will be kept to a minimum. This will help you to figure out just how much paint you need and reduce your costs accordingly.

Uniformity

Remember, you must capitalise on this space, but you also need to be realistic and make sure that everyone is as safe as possible. Each individual parking space must be of a uniform size, and there must be enough room for the average car or truck to park safely while allowing the occupants to open their doors without drama.

Extra Markings

Don't forget--you will also need to mark out disabled parking spaces according to regulation. If the car park is quite large, you may also have to mark out pedestrian walkways or crossings, to keep everyone as safe as possible.

Bottom Line

This is not a job where you can cut corners, as there is a lot on the line. While a car park is intended to be purely functional, it can also be a source of stress and hassle as drivers try to work out where to park. Make the job as easy as possible for them, and you can make the most out of happy customers.
