Rules for flexible bollards in Northern Ireland
Bollards on public footways and roads need DfI Roads consent under the Roads (NI) Order 1993; councils deal with planning. On private land the owner's agreement is what matters; listed buildings and conservation areas need a word with the planning team first. Accessibility guidance asks for posts at least 1,000 mm high with contrasting tops and no chains between them.

How installation works
Survey traffic movements
The free site survey looks at vehicle sizes, turning paths and where drivers currently clip posts or kerbs. You receive a fixed written quote with post type and fixing.
Check the surface
Slabs and decks are checked for thickness, reinforcement and waterproofing before drilling. Weak tarmac may need a concrete pad or socket base.
Fit posts and test
Posts are fitted and bent by hand to confirm they return upright, and reflective sleeves are applied.
Hand over spares and records
Post and base details are recorded so replacements match, and spare posts can be left on site for busy locations. Staff are shown how a post is swapped on its base.

DfI Roads (the Department for Infrastructure) is the roads authority for public roads and footways throughout Northern Ireland; councils handle planning.
Do flexible bollards damage vehicles?
Typically very little in a low-speed knock, which is a large part of their appeal. They may leave a scuff on paintwork. A rigid post in the same position would usually dent the vehicle and bend itself.
Can flexible bollards go in a multi-storey car park?
Yes, often with low-profile bases. The deck has to be checked first, as some slabs contain tendons or waterproofing that must not be drilled. The building owner usually needs to agree the fixing method.
