Stainless Steel Bolt Down Bollard | 1000mm High x 140mm Diameter | 220mm Base Plate

When a vehicle only has to clip a glass frontage, a meter cabinet or a building corner once to cost you thousands, a clear physical stop is worth having. This brushed stainless steel bollard stands 1 metre high and 140mm across, on a 220mm welded base plate that bolts straight down to the ground. There is no excavation and no concrete to pour, so it suits finished surfaces where digging a footing would be disruptive. It is a good match for commercial entrances, yards, warehouses and car parks where you want vehicles kept back without the look of painted yellow steel.

Why this bollard works

A wide, clear presence. At 140mm across, the tube is broad enough for a driver to judge from a distance and stout enough to read as a proper barrier, not a marker post. At 1 metre high it stays in view over a bonnet and in most mirrors.

Fits to a finished surface. The 220mm plate is welded to the bottom of the tube and has four 20mm holes. You bolt it down to a sound surface, so you can add protection to an existing site in a short visit and move it later if the layout changes.

A finish that suits the building. The tube is brushed stainless steel with a closed, flat top. There is no paint to chip or repaint after a scuff, which is why stainless is often chosen for shop fronts, offices and other places on show.

Plain by design. There are no reflective bands, no chain eyelet and no lock. It is a fixed post: once bolted down it stays there until someone removes the fixings.

Two limits to plan around. No impact or crash rating is published for this line, so treat it as a deterrent and a guard against everyday knocks, not a rated hostile vehicle barrier. Bare stainless steel also has less contrast than a yellow post, so in poor light, or where people with impaired vision pass by, consider adding reflective bands or choosing a coloured bollard.

Where it is used

You will see bollards like this along glazed entrances and shop fronts, beside loading bay doors, guarding building columns and corners, in front of meter cabinets and pipework, at the edge of pedestrian routes and around car park islands. They also work indoors on a warehouse or factory floor where forklifts pass close to something worth protecting.

Specifications

Choosing the right bollard

This listing is one size, so the main question is whether it is the right type for your site. If you need a different diameter, or want to set the post into the ground, look at the wider range below.

If people on foot, pushchairs or wheelchairs need to pass between posts, leave a clear gap of at least 1.2 metres and check your site's own access rules. Measure from the edge of each base plate, since the plate is wider than the tube.

Fitting and care

Fixings are not included, because the right one depends on your surface. You need four per bollard: 10mm fixings are the usual choice for concrete and 12mm for tarmac. The plate's holes are 20mm, so use a large flat washer under each nut or bolt head to bridge the hole. Stand the bollard in position, mark through the holes, drill to the size your fixing maker specifies, and tighten down evenly. Have a competent person confirm the ground is sound enough to hold them. To care for it, wipe the steel down with water and a mild detergent, rub in the direction of the brushing, and check the fixings during routine site inspections.
