What to do before buying a driveway bollard
In order to provide the most suitable products, we need to know what the client's requirements are. They can vary greatly depending on the site, location, use, traffic movements, and more. Having spent over 30 years in the barrier industry, we know how vital it is to take the time to find out exactly what the client has in mind. Then, with this information, we can easily suggest the right bollards, handrails, or crash barriers for their specific situation.
Before purchasing a bollard for a driveway or private road, there are several steps you need to take.
What do you need?
Firstly, you must know which kind you will require. There are lots of options, including cast in and surface mounted models. You can even choose telescopic and ram raid proof ones. The best thing you can do here is to speak to an expert who can advise you.
Installation
You will also need someone to install the bollards for you. Any mistakes with the installation can reduce how secure and stable each bollard will be. You could even potentially make them unsafe. Fortunately, we specialise in nationwide installation. Therefore, clients can leave it to us if they want a great service.
Hire a skip
Something else you might want to think about is hiring a skip. The installation can produce a surprising amount of waste, especially if you choose a cast in model. As a result you may need to look at skips so you can get rid of the rubbish. You can use one to safely dispose of soil, brick, concrete and more.
Maintenance
Finally, remember to maintain your bollards. They are sturdy and should be long lasting. However, you must look after them to guarantee their longevity. Keep an eye out for surface damage that could allow issues like corrosion. You will also want to make sure they continue standing up straight.
