- In-Ground Bollards — Set in concrete for permanent protection and maximum strength.
- Removable Bollards — Lockable options that allow temporary access for deliveries or maintenance.
- Flexible Bollards — Bend on low-speed contact to reduce damage while maintaining visual separation.
Common Applications
- Residential / Consumer: Driveway protection, garage safety, vehicle boundary marking.
- Commercial / Industrial: Carparks, loading docks, protecting roller doors and plant.
- Government / Civic: Pedestrian zones, parks, council buildings and schools.
Installation & Maintenance
Surface-mount options are fast to install using supplied bolts and anchors. In-ground bollards require core drilling and concrete footings for secure fixing. For removable bollards, ensure correct locking base installation and provide spare sleeves or keys (see KLB replacements) as needed. Minimal ongoing maintenance is required, though periodic checks for corrosion and bolt tightness are recommended.
Choosing the Right Bollard
- Define the use case: Do you need a permanent barrier or a removable access solution?
- Consider the environment: Use galvanised or marine-grade stainless finishes for coastal or corrosive environments.
- Regulatory compliance: Ensure your installation aligns with relevant local standards and parking/traffic guidelines.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are bollards?
Bollards are fixed or removable posts used to control vehicle movement, protect assets and separate traffic from pedestrian areas. They come in materials like steel, stainless, concrete and flexible polymers.
What are bollards used for?
They protect buildings and high-value targets from vehicle impacts, manage traffic flow, create buffer zones and prevent unauthorised vehicle access to pedestrian areas or bike lanes. Modern bollards can also include reflective banding or lighting for enhanced visibility.
What are the installation requirements for bollards?
Requirements depend on the bollard type: surface-mounts need appropriate anchors and solid concrete substrate; in-ground bollards need core drilling and concrete footings. Professional installation is recommended for critical applications.
What’s the difference between surface and in-ground?
Surface-mounts are quicker to install and removable solutions are available; in-ground bollards are more secure and provide greater impact resistance.
Can I get a keyed removable bollard?
Yes — we stock key-lockable and padlock-ready removable bollard sleeves.
Are reflective stripes included?
Many bollard models can be supplied with Class 1 reflective banding — specify reflective requirements when ordering.
Are there Australian standards for bollards?
Local standards and parking/traffic guidelines should be checked; ensure your chosen bollards meet any required local codes.
