Most bollards are designed to be low-maintenance, but regular care helps extend their lifespan and maintain both performance and appearance.
For fixed steel bollards, the main upkeep involves cleaning, checking for corrosion, and touching up powder-coated finishes where necessary. Keeping the base area free from debris also prevents water pooling and rust.
Removable and retractable (telescopic) bollards need occasional lubrication of moving parts, locks, and sockets to ensure smooth operation. It’s also important to clear dirt or grit from the ground sleeve to prevent sticking or jamming — especially in areas with high vehicle use or exposure to road salt.
All Aremco Barriers’ UK-made bollards are galvanised for corrosion protection and powder-coated for durability, making them highly resistant to weather and wear. With basic maintenance, they’ll deliver long-term driveway security, vehicle protection, and car park safety for many years.
