I'm sure any handyman could install the posts or low stops for you to trip over. It's a pretty simple install. It will protect your walls, etc., the laser parking assist will do a good job as a parking guide but won't protect your laundry tub or cabinet or anything else in your garage.

How old is your home? When i had my first home built i told the builder that i wanted the barriers, he said i did not need them. Well he put them in.

My thoughts (fears) exactly! Knowing me, I would trip over them.

Never guess again !
Easy to install

Not often we get a poster that admits that someone in the house has an issue driving and/or gauging distance so kudo's for doing that.....as scary as it is.

Why don't you just measure from the ceiling of the garage for each vehicle and put in a hook you can hang a string with a rubber stopper on it. When your car hits the stopper, that's where you stop the car. Much simpler and no cost.

I got this for my husband after he ran into his saw on our metal shelves and gouged the car's fender. Heavy-Duty Rubber Parking Curb | LTD Commodities
It's sturdy, works well and is $14.99 plus shipping.

Neither
 
I know of a lady in The Villages who didn't hit her brakes in time and blew the pole out of the concrete, hit the washer and damaged the closet inside the house. Very little damage to the car but lots to washer and closet. I would try the tennis ball hanging from the ceiling.

My kids sent me some via the mail. I was amazed. They were fairly heavy. But they work great, and I can move them when I want, which will be nice if I decide to buy a larger or smaller car.

Thanks everyone for the replies. I did find a parking mat ordered one and it will arrive on Thursday.
