Q: I am trying to park a very expensive bike and car in my garage, one in front of the other leaving roughly only 3-5 inches between the two. Could I glue it down somehow and still change the batteries?
A: The battery is located on the back of the sign itself, so the 3-5 inches should be adequate for changing the battery. Also, because the pole is flexible, you shouldn't have a problem moving one sign away from the other in order to change the battery.

Q: Will the "Park-n-place" stay in place on a driveway ??(on pavement)
A: The Park 'n Place will stay in place as long as it is on a level surface. The flexible pole keeps the base from moving when your car bumps the pole.

Q: Do they come in a taller size? I normally back the cars in and the view is higher out the back. Also maybe put something that beeps when you hit it along with the flashing light.
A: The Park N Place is only available in this 46-inch height. If necessary, you could set the Park N Place on top of small, sturdy boxes to raise it to a visible height. The Park N Place parking aid does not beep.

Q: Is it cheep? Thanks. P.S. I love your video, it's really funny. Pirates? Crossing Guard? Nice!
A: Cheep? In quality or in price? While we think the price is definitely quite reasonable, the quality is not what we'd call cheap. The Park N Place does a good job of doing exactly what it claims to do.

Q: Do you have any ideas about an application to prevent damage from hitting the side of the garage on the way in ?
A: You could use a few Park 'N Places at the entrance of your garage to help guide the path of your vehicle. Personally, I have to make a very tight left turn in my driveway to get into my garage. So, I've made a small mark on my driveway at the exact point where I need to make this sharp left turn. I know that I cannot overturn if I go at least until the mark.

Q: Are the lights LED? Are the batteries alkaline, or other similar long-lasting batteries?
A: Yes, the Park N Place contains 2 LED lights and it's powered by two small watch batteries. Because LED lights use very little power, the batteries should keep your parking aid going for quite a while.

Q: I have to pull my truck into the garage to about 2 inches from the wall. Can one leg of the base be cut off to allow this to be up against the wall? Or is that where the batteries are located?
A: You might be able to pull it off, but it definitely wouldn't be easy. The base's legs extend about 6 inches from the pole in each direction. Even if you were able to remove one of them, you'd still need to make sure that there's enough room for the the Park N Place to move when you run into it. Without that movement, the flashing lights won't be activated.

Q: Does this product have an option to plug it into the wall?
A: The Park 'n Place is solely battery powered. However, its power requirements are small and thus, you won't need to replace the battery very often. I've personally had one in my garage for six months now and have yet to replace the battery.

Q: Can this be used outside? If no, what about if I seal the battery chamber w/Duct tape? Thanks.
A: We don't officially recommend it, but as long as it's not too windy and you cover the battery area, it would probably be alright. It would definitely fade and gather dirt over time, though.
