Our most frequently asked questions for Bollards FAQ
What is the difference between a protective bollard and a demarcation bollard?
Protective bollards are built to withstand vehicle impact and shield people, buildings or equipment from collision damage. Demarcation bollards are lighter duty and used to mark boundaries, guide pedestrian routes or discourage parking rather than stop a vehicle. Choosing the right type depends on the level of risk in the area, so it's worth talking through the application with our team.
What are steel bollards made from and how are they finished?
Steel bollards are typically fabricated from mild steel tube, then hot-dip galvanised for corrosion resistance and often finished with RAL powder coating on top for colour. This combination gives long-term protection against rust even in coastal or heavily gritted locations. Stainless steel options are also available where a brushed or polished finish is preferred.
Should bollards be root-fixed or bolt-down?
Root-fixed bollards are set into a concrete foundation below ground and generally offer greater impact resistance, making them suited to higher-risk areas. Bolt-down bollards fix onto an existing hard surface using a base plate, which is quicker to install and useful where excavation isn't practical. The right choice depends on ground conditions and the level of protection needed.
Can bollards be powder coated in a specific colour?
Yes, most steel bollards can be powder coated to any RAL colour, with safety yellow, black and dark green among the most commonly requested. Powder coating is applied after galvanising for durability and is often used to match corporate colours or highway safety schemes. Two-tone finishes, such as a yellow band on a black post, are also available.
Do I need planning permission to install bollards?
Planning permission usually isn't required for standard bollard installation, though it can depend on the site, particularly in conservation areas or where bollards sit on a public highway. Local authority land, listed buildings and highway boundaries may have separate rules on siting and spacing. It's worth checking with your local planning office before work begins if in doubt.
What sizes do bollards come in?
Bollard sizes vary by manufacturer and application, with diameter, height above ground and wall thickness all affecting strength and price. Standard stock sizes cover most car park and pedestrian uses, while made-to-order options allow height or diameter to be adjusted for a specific site. Let us know your requirements and we can confirm what's available.
What's the difference between plastic, concrete and steel bollards?
Plastic bollards are lightweight and low cost, suited to low-risk demarcation rather than impact protection. Concrete bollards are heavy and static, often chosen for their solid appearance and resistance to tampering. Steel bollards sit in between, offering a strong, durable option that can be galvanised and powder coated to suit most protective and demarcation needs.
