The short answer
A bollard is a short post that guides, blocks or protects. Fixed ones stop vehicles reaching an area, removable ones let access when needed and automatic ones rise and lower on a command. The impact requirement comes from your consultant.
- Fixed, removable or automatic
- Automatic bollards need a pit and drainage
- Impact rating is set by your consultant, not by us

Can bollards work with access control?
Yes, via cards, tags or plate reading.
