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
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.
Set out the line
Posts are set out to guide vehicles along the intended path, with spacing that reads as a line to drivers.
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.
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.
