Stone Barriers, Bollards

Unlike other types of barriers, such as fences or large concrete blocks, natural stone bollards can restrict vehicle access while allowing clear pedestrian flow.

Ideally, the bollards should be placed 1.5 meters back from a sidewalk where cars are allowed to park. This makes room for the passenger side doors to open and passengers to disembark. They can be installed close to the curb if parking is not allowed near the barriers.

Stone bollards come in a variety of sizes, in order to accommodate being used in different areas and for different purposes. Heights for bollards typically range from 30″ to 48″ tall, with the average height of them being 36″ or three feet tall.

For the most effective protection, manual or automatic rising bollards are normally positioned across the entrance to your driveway and should be set to allow an opening of 1.2 - 1.5 mtrs between each bollard.

The correct depth to bury a bollard fluctuates depending on engineering requirements and the desired mounting method. Fixed bollards using in-ground pipe mounting methods generally require a minimum of 24 inches up to 48 inches of concrete embedment below grade.

Many towns and cities have wide pavements in areas of parking control, and highway authorities will use bollards to prevent pavement parking either on the pavement itself, or on the forecourts behind them.

Yes. In roads where pavement parking is allowed, providing the vehicle's wheels are on the kerbstones and no part of the wheels are touching the grass verge, no enforcement action will be taken.
