Rules for fold-down parking posts 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 the bay
A free site survey looks at the surface, the bay layout and where wheels run. You receive a fixed written quote for the posts, locks and any concrete pad.
Position the post
The post is placed where your car can straddle it when folded, usually central to the bay entrance, so tyres do not run over the hinge every day.
Drill and anchor
Holes are drilled into sound concrete, cleaned, and resin anchors or through-bolts set. On weak tarmac or block paving, a small concrete pad is formed first.
Check operation
The post is raised, locked, unlocked and folded several times, and the folded height is checked against your car's clearance.
Fold-down parking posts in Dundee City: FAQs
Do you cover all of Dundee City for fold-down parking posts?
Yes — including Dundee. Enter your postcode in the price calculator to confirm.
How much do fold-down parking posts cost in Dundee City?
In Dundee City, typically £145–£445 per post, supplied and installed, plus VAT (£165–£525 including VAT for homeowners), with a minimum job of £345 plus VAT, using our Scotland guide prices. The fixed figure comes in writing after we've seen the site.
Who do I ask about bollards on public land in Dundee City?
The council is the roads authority for local roads (Dundee City Council); Transport Scotland covers trunk roads. Works in a public road need the roads authority's written consent.
Can a fold-down parking post go on a tarmac drive?
Yes, but not by bolting straight into the tarmac. Tarmac is too soft to hold anchors for long, so we cut in a small concrete pad and fix the post to that. The pad sits flush with the surface.
Will I damage my car driving over a folded post?
Not if the post is positioned to sit between your wheels and folds low enough for your car's clearance. We check the folded height at installation. Very low cars may need a lower-profile design.
