We dig a base for each bollard, set it in concrete, and ensure it’s level and secure. The installation process depends on soil type and property layout. To prevent water buildup around the bollard, we incorporate proper drainage by adding a layer of gravel at the base, which allows for water runoff and reduces the risk of erosion. This gravel layer also helps stabilize the bollard, providing extra support and ensuring long-term durability. Additionally, we adjust the installation method based on the specific needs of your property, taking into account any slopes or uneven terrain.
Yes, bollards can absolutely be powered by solar energy. For properties where traditional wiring is difficult or costly to install, solar-powered bollards offer a practical and eco-friendly solution. One of the key benefits of solar-powered bollards is their ability to function independently from the electrical grid. This means that in the event of a power outage, automatic bollards will continue to operate, ensuring your property remains secure and accessible as needed. Solar systems are a reliable option, providing consistent performance while reducing ongoing energy costs. For many installations, they’re a smart, long-term investment.
