Cost to install a driveway security post

There have been several car thefts on our street recently and we would like a telescopic security post fitted at the end of the drive. What should supply and installation cost?

"For the supply and installation of a telescopic driveway security post, prices typically range from £350 to £750+ depending on the make and specification of the post, ground conditions, and whether any additional groundworks are required.
As a guide:
• Supply and installation of a standard telescopic post: £450-£650
• Premium or heavy duty models: £650-£900+
We would be happy to provide a more accurate quotation if you could send a photo of the driveway and your postcode.

"The total cost depends on the post model manual, high-security lock, or automatic and the complexity of the excavation and concreting work."
