Bollards
Manual, automatic and static bollards
Bollards whether manual, automatic or static are an effective security measure giving both vehicle and traffic control solutions. They are a flexible alternative to the more traditional vehicle access control systems and often integrate more seamlessly than vehicle barriers.
What do we offer? – BGB can design traffic access solutions for all sectors and markets, ranging from a residential area to an industrial estate. For buildings requiring high security, such as retail or government sectors, we can fit anti-ram bollards which help to secure the site perimeter or manual retractable bollards to protect parking bays or site entrance.

Surface Mounted Bollards
Surface Mounted Bollards are most useful as a visual deterrent for criminals or traffic control on properties where the traffic volume and risk of an accident is very low.

They are fixed to the ground via an anchor system, which makes the installation and removal very easy, but their ability to resist impact very low. As they are reusable and easily removable, they can be moved around the premises to accommodate user needs as they happen. They are best used as a temporary measure for pedestrian traffic control.

Bollards FAQs
What are bollards and what are they used for?
What types of bollards does Boundary Gate & Barrier offer?
Boundary Gate & Barrier provide a range of bollards including surface-mounted, automatic and static bollards. These options suit different needs, from visual deterrents and traffic control through to high-security applications where vehicle access must be restricted.
How do I choose between manual, static and automatic bollards?
Manual or static bollards are cost-effective and good for lower traffic or simple pedestrian zone control, while automatic bollards provide remote and integrated access control, ideal for high traffic areas or where frequent authorised vehicle access is required.
Can bollards be integrated with access control systems?
Bollards can be integrated with access control technologies like intercoms, keypads, card readers, long-range tagging and ANPR (automatic number plate recognition), allowing secure and seamless vehicle access where needed.
Are bollards suitable for both residential and commercial use?
Bollards are flexible solutions used in residential driveways, car parks, retail sites and industrial premises. Their design can be tailored for aesthetics as well as performance, making them suitable for a wide variety of environments.
Do bollards require planning permission in the UK?
For most private properties, bollards do not require planning permission. However, if the installation is on public land, within conservation areas or near listed buildings, it’s best to check with your local planning authority before installation.
What maintenance do bollards need after installation?
Bollards typically require minimal maintenance, but regular servicing can be required for compliance purposes depending on the type of bollard and the location they are installed.
For more simple bollards, visual checks and cleaning help ensure they function correctly and stay in good condition, especially for automatic systems with moving parts. Boundary Gate & Barrier also offer maintenance contracts and 24/7 support.
What factors influence the cost of a bollard installation?
The cost depends on bollard type (manual, static or automatic), the materials and finish you choose, whether access control integration is needed, and any groundworks required. A site survey from Boundary Gate & Barrier will provide an accurate quote.
