Bollard Shop » Bollard Guides and Data Sheets » How to Install Base Plate Bollards
Base plate bollards bolt down onto a solid surface, so there is no digging on concrete. Here is how we recommend installing them, and what to do if your surface is bitumen or sand.
A 77-second walk-through: what you need, checking the surface, drilling through the base plate, fixing it down and checking it is level.
No sound needed. Every step is on screen.
| Fixed to | Solid, level concrete |
| On bitumen or sand | Pour a concrete footing first |
| Fixing holes | Drilled to suit each base plate |
What to do depends on the surface you are installing into.
Make sure the surface is solid and level. You can fix straight onto it.
Pour a concrete footing and let it set before you install the bollard.
Pour a concrete footing and let it set before you install the bollard.
Check before you dig or drill. Look for water pipes, gas lines and underground wiring, and keep the work area safe from traffic.
Mark where each bollard is going.
Check the area and the traffic so you, pedestrians and vehicles stay safe while you work.
Concrete must be solid and level. On bitumen or sand, pour a concrete footing and let it set first.
Stand the bollard in the centre of the installation area.
Drill the holes for your fixings through the holes in the base plate, one bollard at a time.
Fix the bollard to the concrete with your fixings.
Check the bollard is straight and level.
Every bollard has a data sheet with its size, wall thickness and fixing details, with drawings.
The holes in our base plates are cut by hand, so the spacing can vary slightly from one bollard to the next. Use each bollard's own base plate as the template when you mark and drill.
Not directly. Pour a concrete footing first and let it set, then fix the bollard to the footing. The same goes for sand.
It depends on your concrete and the bollard. Each bollard's data sheet shows its base plate and hole details, and our fixings range has concrete screws and bolt anchors. Call us if you are not sure.
