What Type Of Post or Bollard Suits Our Requirements!!
There are three basic types of parking posts & bollards:
1) Removable, these posts are locked into place when they are being used, and removed and stored (normally in a garage or car boot). They are in general easy to fit, the benefit is that there is not much or nothing left on the ground when not being used, this can be seen as an advantage if you have a low car, a drive or entrance with a ridge, children or elderly persons walking past, the down side is that you have to store the removed post somewhere.
2) Fold Down, these posts are locked into the upright position when being used, and folded flat on the floor when not being used, these are also generally easy to fit. The biggest benifits are that when you do not need them you just lay them flat on the floor, you don't have to worry about where to store them, the down side is that there is a post on the floor that could potentially be driven or tripped over.
3) Fully Telescopic, these are by far the best post for security & strength and the most aesthetically pleasing to the eye & safe when not in use. The only down side to this type of post or bollard is that they are hard to install, and you have to make sure there are no underground services.

Can We Install The Posts Ourselves!!
There are three basic types of installation when installing parking posts:
1) Bolt Down, this method is simply fixing the post onto your concrete floor using four suitable bolts & plugs, provided you have a drill, drill piece and suitable bolts this can be done very easily.
2) Short Spigot: this type of post has a small spigot of approximately 300mm in length, it requires a small hloe to be dug in the ground of about 300mm cube, then backfilled with cement, if you have the tools to dig this small hole and the means to mix cement or (post mix) it is an easy job to do.
3) Fully Telescopic: this requires a deep narrow hole being dug, the approximate size would be 700- 750 deep by 300mm wide, then backfilled with firm cement. You need the correct tools, strength and time to do this, often installed by builders, DIY persons or fencers for our customers.
