Frequent Asked Questions
What is a Bollard?
Bollards are sturdy, vertical posts strategically placed in public spaces like car parks, outside schools, along verges and near walkways. They serve many purposes such as guiding traffic, preventing vehicle intrusion and promoting pedestrian safety.
They ensure the safety of pedestrians by creating clear boundaries between vehicles and pedestrian zones, greatly reducing the chance of accidents and unauthorised access.
Recycled Plastic or Oak
We manufacture bollards from two materials: recycled plastic and oak. Each offers its own set of advantages, and the most suitable option will depend on the specific requirements of your project.
Recycled Plastic Bollards
Recycled plastic bollards are made from post consumer and industrial plastic waste, giving a new life to materials that would otherwise end up in landfills.
They’re incredibly durable, resistant to rot, moisture and UV damage, and require virtually no maintenance. They are ideal for schools, car parks and areas with high foot traffic as they provide clear visual guidance and enhance pedestrian safety.
Oak Bollards
Our oak bollards on the other hand are made from responsibly sourced timber, offering a natural, timeless appearance that complements landscaped heritage sites and traditional settings. They are particularly well suited to villages, rural environments, and projects that call for a rustic or organic aesthetic, blending seamlessly into natural surroundings while providing subtle yet effective boundary definition.
The Benefits of Bollards
One of the key benefits of bollards is that they provide a physical barrier preventing unauthorised vehicle access to designated areas. For instance, in a school entrance, a pedestrian plaza, or private driveway, bollards will act as a reliable deterrent against vehicles attempting to enter restricted zones. By clearly defining boundaries, they help maintain safety, protect infrastructure, and ensure only permitted traffic can pass through.
They are particularly beneficial to cyclists as well, helping to create safer, more defined routes that separate bikes from busy traffic. This not only reduce the risks of accidents, but also makes cycling a more attractive options for everyday travel. The environment will greatly benefit as more people will choose bikes over cars, resulting in fewer emissions, less congestion and a healthier environment for everyone.
Another advantage of plastic and oak bollards is their ease of installation compared to heavier concrete or cast iron options. Their lighter weight simplifies handling and placement, while their low-maintenance design means no painting is required — avoiding the risk of chipped or deteriorating finishes over time. You can reach out to us if you need any assistance regarding installation.
Bollards are also extremely adaptable. While they’re commonly used for traffic control, and pedestrian safety, they can also be used for more decorative application. Our rope post in particular is ideal if you are sectioning off flower beds, guiding footpath, or just want to add some charm to your outdoor layout.
Customisable Bollards Available on Request
Our bollards are designed with versatility in mind, giving you the freedom to personalise them to match your project. For instance, you can include your logo on the bollards for branding purposes, or you can add icons to give clear instructions to passengers. All you will need to do is use our contact form with a description of what you are looking for and we can help.
You can choose from classic black or natural brown finishes, with height options of 60cm, 80cm, and 100cm as well.
How long do Bollards last for?
Recycled plastic bollards are an exceptionally resilient and low-maintenance option, offering a lifespan of over 25 years. They embody “fit and forget” as they are resistant to rot, moisture, and UV damage, and require virtually no upkeep once installed.
Oak bollards typically last between 10 and 20 years, depending on ground conditions. To maximise their lifespan, they should be installed without concrete, as trapped moisture can accelerate rot. Overall, Oak is a very good robust and visually appealing option, especially in settings where character and heritage are valued.
