Autopa Fixed Galvanised Parking & Security Posts Plastic Cap 750mm

Fixed bollards are some of the easiest to install. There are two key methods of installation, depending on which type of fixing you have chosen. Regardless of the fixing method chosen, you will need to Work out where you want to situate your posts. They should be no further than 1200mm apart to prevent cars from driving between them.

Once this is done, you will be ready to install your posts.

For Flange Mounted / Surface Mounted Posts;

• Ensure the surface where the post is to be located is appropriate for fixing the post onto. There should be at least 400mm x 400mm x 400mm of concrete as a footing for the post
• Drill four fixing holes using the flange of the post as a template to ensure the holes align.
• Clear the holes of dust then fix the post down ensuring all bolts are tightened fully.

For Cast in / Ragged Posts

• Excavate a 300mm diameter hole to a depth of 300mm - 500mm (depending on bollard chosen). Place the bollard at the centre of the hole and fill the hole with concrete mix whilst ensuring the post stays vertical and aligned to the centre of the excavation.
• Trowel the top of the concrete to a smooth neat finish and allow to fully cure for 24 hours.

These fixed posts are used by almost every sector out there. Depending on the chosen finish they will fit in everywhere from a school or car dealership to a factory.

They are mostly used to keep vehicles out of pedestrian areas, or as a physical protection post to prevent forklifts and other vehicles colliding with door frames.

They are an excellent way of creating a barrier between two zones in a car park. A small section can then use removable or retractable posts (which cost more) to create a gap when needed.
