What sort of security bollard would best suit me?

Our security bollards are sturdy, vertical posts that can be used to protect buildings, pedestrians, and vehicles from collisions and attacks. They come in a variety of sizes, styles, and materials, and choosing the right one can depend on several different factors. Having provided our clients with quality security bollard for over 15 years here at Bollard Security, we’ve put together some key points to keep in mind when deciding what sort of security bollard would best suit your needs. Let’s get into it!

What’s purpose of your bollard?

The first thing to consider when selecting a security bollard is its purpose. Are you looking to protect your building from vehicular attacks or prevent accidental collisions with pedestrians? Are you looking for a bollard to secure your property from acts of burglary, vehicle theft or vandalism? Understanding the primary function of the bollard will help you choose the right type and size from our expansive range. Whether you’re simply looking for a parking post to secure your parking space, or an automatic bollard to manage traffic in and out of your commercial business, we’ve got you covered.

Where do you plan on placing them?

The location of the bollard is another important factor to consider. If you’re planning to have it installed in a high-traffic area, you’ll need a bollard that is sturdy enough to withstand repeated impacts (not that that’s likely to happen but better safe than sorry!). Bollards that are meant to be installed in areas with heavy foot traffic should be designed to be visible and unobtrusive to avoid accidents. Luckily, our selection of durable telescopic bollards are sure to fit your needs.

What should the bollards be made from?

Security bollards are made from various materials, including galvanised steel, concrete and stainless steel. Our steel bollards are by far the most durable and can withstand heavy impacts, and our concrete bollards are an excellent option for high-traffic areas, but they may not be as aesthetically pleasing as our immaculate, stainless steel options. Typically speaking, if you’re looking for maximum security at the best price, steel is the way to go.

How do you want them to look?

While security is the primary concern, it’s also essential to choose a bollard that complements the surrounding environment. Our bollards can be bought in a variety of colours to match the colour scheme of your building or landscape, ensuring they don’t prove to be an eye sore once installed.
