Security Bollards

Bollards are small metal pillars that can protect people and property from vehicle collisions. Made from extremely durable steel, bollards can effectively block access to vehicles in restricted areas and provide protection for pedestrians.

The UK government suggests that all bollard lines should be spaced at a maximum distance of 1.2 metres between individual bollards. It’s important to consider the flow of pedestrian movement when choosing bollard placement. You should also ensure bollard spacing allows for wheelchair access.

Bollards of all types are a fantastic way of protecting people, vehicles and buildings from collisions and ram attacks. Retractable bollards can offer extra security from car theft and you can even add chains to your bollards to assist in directing foot traffic – helping to prevent injuries and damage to property.

There are three main types of bollards: telescopic bollards (also known as retractable bollards), static steel bollards, and stainless steel bollards. CT Safety Barriers also manufactures Carbinox bollards that are strengthened with a mild steel insert that minimises damage from ram attacks.

You should choose a stainless steel finish if you are placing the bollards near the coast, as the material is resistant to salt air and won’t corrode. However, if your site is further than 7 miles from the coast, we offer a variety of finishes for you to choose from. Galvanised steel offers a low maintenance solution, but you could also choose a powder coated finish in a variety of colours.
