The service life of a bollard depends on its material, finish, and exposure conditions, but well-manufactured steel bollards can last 20 years or more with minimal maintenance.
At Aremco Barriers, all UK-made bollards are hot-dip galvanised to protect against corrosion and then powder-coated for added weather resistance and long-term durability. This dual finish significantly extends lifespan, even in harsh environments like car parks, industrial estates, and coastal areas.
To minimise wear and damage, periodic cleaning and inspection are recommended. Removable and retractable (telescopic) bollards benefit from occasional lubrication of moving parts, while reflective bands or protective sleeves can reduce surface scratching.
For vandal-prone or high-impact sites, reinforced anti-ram bollards and security-grade fittings provide extra protection against deliberate damage or collision.
With correct installation and routine upkeep, Aremco’s steel security bollards deliver decades of reliable protection, maintaining both appearance and performance across driveways, commercial sites, and public areas throughout the UK.
