Can your barriers and bollards be installed on uneven ground?

Yes, in most cases barriers, bollards, and gates can be successfully installed on uneven or sloping ground, provided the correct approach is taken during specification and installation. Each site is different, so the solution will depend on the level of variation in the ground and the type of product being installed.

There are several ways to accommodate uneven surfaces:

• Adjusted foundation depths – built-in posts can be set at different depths to achieve the correct finished height
• Stepped installations – useful where there are noticeable changes in ground level across the width of a barrier or gate
• Surface-mounted (bolt-down) options – can sometimes be installed using packers or shims to level the base plates
• Bespoke fabrication – products can be manufactured to suit specific gradients or site conditions

For height restriction barriers in particular, it’s important to carefully consider ground levels and vehicle approach angles, as slopes can affect the true clearance height and increase the risk of vehicle strikes if not accounted for correctly.

Providing site details, measurements, or photos at the enquiry stage is extremely helpful. This allows us to assess the conditions early and recommend the most suitable fixing method and product design, ensuring a safe, secure, and long-lasting installation.
