The cap we provide as standard is a welded flat cap, but there are choices available including; a domed top, a semi domed top, a mitred top, along with many more for a small extra cost. If you do require a different cap please contact one of our trained advisers. Unlike many other companies we dont have any minimum order amount on our Steel Bollards and because these are in stock we would look to have them with you in 48 hours.
The 114mm Diameter Titan Steel Bollard is manufactured from 3mm gauge steel wall, galvanised and can be powder coated in a range of colours. Hazard Banding strips are also available for additional visibility at night.
Looking for more security? Consider our Titan Reinforced Steel Bollard for additional Anti-Ram benefits. If you are looking for a selection of bollards or to create a collection of street furniture, let us know and we can help you put together a full solution.
The Steel Bollard is available in 114mm, 139mm, and 168mm Diameters. The larger 139mm, and 168mm Diameters will require an additional lead time. There are no physical benefits to choosing a larger diameter bollard as they are all manufactured in 5mm gauge thickness steel unless requested otherwise. The main reason for choosing a diameter is down to personal preference on the visual outcome.
The Root Fixed Steel Bollard is the standard 1500mm length. We recommend digging a hole to a depth of 300mm, fill the first 100mm with Type 1 MOT Crushed Concrete (approved for use by the Ministry of Transport). Then fill the rest with concrete and install the bollard with the spigots down into the concrete to ensure it cannot be removed. Leave to set.
Simply bolt down the Surface Mounted Steel Bollard to a secure foundation, typically concrete. The Bollard can be secured to slab paving, depending on the thickness of the slab, we recommend a minimum of 80mm thickness. It is not recommended that you mount on block paving due to the limited width. Installing onto grass would require a concrete block to be first installed. It is not possible to install onto Tarmac. .
The Removable Steel bollard has to be installed into the ground. We recommend digging a hole to a depth of 300mm, fill the first 100mm with Type 1 MOT Crushed Concrete (approved for use by the Ministry of Transport). Then fill the rest with concrete and install the bollard case into the concrete to ensure it cannot be removed. Leave to set.
The Steel Bollard and Stainless Steel Bollard functions in exactly the same way, the difference is in the finish and visual appearance. The Steel Bollard is galvanised as standard with a matt finish and can be powder coated in a range of RAL colours. The Stainless Steel Bollard has a brushed satin finish. .
The Steel Bollard has not been Ram Raid tested or crash tested, however all bollards are manufactured to a high standard to reduce the impact of minor bumps and damage. There is also the Reinforced Steel Bollard available which is a more secure bollard that will handle impact better. In the event of a Ram Raid occurrence, the bollard will need to be replaced.
Galvanising is a process where a protective zinc coating is applied to steel to stop corrosion and rusting. This is commonly done using the hot dip method where the steel is submerged into a bath of molten zinc. All our steel products are supplied galvanised with an option to powder coat.
Powder coating is a polyester powder which is then heated to fuse with the protective cover. Powder coating gives our products the most economical, long lasting and most colour-durable quality finishes available. Powder coating surfaces are more resistant to chipping, scratching, fading, and wearing than other finishes.
RAL is the standardised colour matching system used in the UK and Europe. It attributes colours to a code to ensure the same hue is produced across paints, coatings, and plastics in the manufacturing industry.
Street Furniture Direct have a standard RAL colour chart with 30 colours to choose from, including Black, White, Grey and a range of bold and bright colours.
Reflective Hazard Banding increases visibility, particularly at night, in low light or where there is no street lighting. Hazard Banding is only advised if the bollard is being installed in a location that will assist with directing traffic or reduce the chances of vehicular collisions – especially cars reversing on car parks. As standard we sell the red, white or yellow hazard banding in either a single or double banding. There is no significance in the choice of colours.
Yes the Steel Bollard will need to be replaced after a car incident has occurred to ensure it is adequately performing and to prevent further damage. If you require a more secure bollard that will handle impact better, look at the reinforced steel bollard.
The Steel Bollard is made from a single steel sheet that is machine rolled into a tube. The top cap and two spigots or the base plate are welded to it. The bollard is then hot dipped galvanised as standard, with powder coating finish also available.
The 114mm Diameter Steel Bollard weighs 13 kilograms equivalent to two bowling balls or a bag of dog food. Multiple units will require a pallet and forklift for transport.
There are many locations where the Steel Bollard can be installed to provide protection to both people and buildings. A prime location is high footfall and car traffic areas such as the divide between car parking spaces and pedestrian walkways, this can be at shopping centres, town centres, and even for independent shops with private car parks. Entrances and exits to places by vehicle, particularly narrow spaces with walls or paths nearby. Other locations include, fuel stations, pub and restaurant private car parks, storefronts, and even near bus stops.
The Steel Bollard has a guaranteed warranty for 1 year however it should last for a significantly longer period depending on location, how often it is cleaned and whether it has been physically damaged or vandalised.
