ABOUT BOLLARDS

Street bollards are available in a wide range of traditional and contemporary designs. The traditional designs are normally in cast iron. Contemporary designs are usually made from stainless steel.

Bollards are designed to block vehicles, for example to prevent vehicles parking on pavements. They may also be a decorative feature in pedestrianised areas.
