Rules for flexible bollards in Wales
Bollards on adopted highway are a matter for the highway authority under the Highways Act 1980, so they need its written agreement. 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
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.
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.
