Bollards

Explore practical bollard guides, buying advice and installation information to help you choose suitable products for driveways, car parks, commercial premises and industrial sites.

This section covers fixed steel bollards, removable bollards, telescopic bollards, fold-down parking posts and stainless steel bollards, explaining how different designs can help manage parking and restrict unauthorised vehicle access. Compare the benefits of each bollard type for your site.

Fixed bollards provide a permanent boundary, while removable and telescopic designs allow an opening to be cleared when access is needed.

Fold-down posts can help reserve individual parking spaces.

Our guides explore everyday considerations such as frequency of use, manual handling, locking arrangements, storage of removable units and access for authorised vehicles. Find guidance on root-fixed and bolt-down installation methods, ground conditions, below-ground services, drainage and foundations.

Learn what to consider when positioning bollards, including vehicle widths, pedestrian access, visibility and the space needed to operate or remove a unit. Installation requirements depend on the product and site, so dimensions and fixing details should be checked before ordering.

Discover the differences between galvanised steel, powder-coated finishes and galvanised then powder-coated options. Read about colour choices, reflective markings, corrosion protection and routine maintenance, including checks on locks, moving parts and damaged finishes.

We also explore the practical differences between mild steel and stainless steel bollards. Whether you are securing a private driveway, controlling access to a service yard or specifying bollards for a customer’s project, Aremco Barriers’ articles help you make informed choices.

We manufacture heavy-duty steel bollards in the West Midlands and supply throughout the UK, with direct advice on standard products and bespoke manufacturing options. Product suitability should always be assessed against the intended use; our bollards are not supplied as crash-rated vehicle security barriers.
