Rules for flexible bollards in Scotland
Works in a public road or footway need the roads authority's written consent under the Roads (Scotland) Act 1984. 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.
Fix the bases
Holes are drilled and cleaned, resin anchors or bolts are set and the bases fixed and torqued once cured. Socket bases are set flush in concrete.
Fit posts and test
Posts are fitted and bent by hand to confirm they return upright, and reflective sleeves are applied.

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.
