By Betty Thompson


If you tow any type of trailer with your car or pick up you will have a towbar fitted to the vehicle. When you are not towing it will be necessary to cover the bar that is fitted for various reasons. When you are looking for and buying towbar guards there are various places to buy them from and it is important that you use a suitable one.

When you have a vehicle that is fitted with a towbar it is important that it is protected when it is not being used. Uncovered bars could also cause an injury to pedestrians when they are not properly covered. The majority of bars are manufactured with stainless steel and it essential that the correct type of guard is purchased and fitted.

You can buy a guard to fit the majority of bars that are fitted to vehicles and there are various places to buy from. Auto spares retailers may sell them and if they do not stock them they will usually be able to order one. The internet is also a good place to find a supplier and you can also find adverts for supplier in newspapers and magazines.

Other places where you may find a suitable guard include auto technicians in your area or you may be able to purchase one from the place that supplied your towbar. Web based auction sites are also worth checking out and you can either pay the asking price or submit your bid. It is worth noting that if you buy online you may also have to pay some shipping fees.

If a suitable guard is not available you can get one made and there are fabrication shops in most areas. The engineers that work in the metal shops can take the dimensions of your bar and make a bespoke guard. The company that makes the guard may also be able to paint it or customize it by engraving or decorating it.

The fees charged for guards will depend on the type purchased and the material it is made from. It will often be cheaper to buy from an internet retailer as they tend to have low overheads and can sell at lower prices than those found on the high street. Internet shopping is also convenient and your guard will be delivered to your home address.

If you buy a well made guard it should give you many years of service if you use it properly and look after it. It is advisable to retain the payment receipt when you buy a guard as it may be guaranteed by the manufacturer. If your purchase has to be returned or exchanged you are going to need your original receipt.

Throughout the year it is important to check your towbar and the guard for any wear or damage. If there are any problems with any of your towing equipment you should get repairs carried out or replace the damaged item. Safety is extremely important when you are towing any type of trailer and regular maintenance of your equipment is essential.
