Rules for fold-down parking posts 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 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.

Are fold-down posts suitable for EV charging bays?
Yes, they are a common way to keep a charging bay free for the vehicle that needs it. Position the post so it does not interfere with the charging cable route or the charger itself.
Padlock or integral lock: which is better for a parking post?
An integral lock is neater and has nothing loose to carry or lose, and is harder to tamper with. A padlock is easy to replace if keys go missing. Many residents prefer integral locks for daily use.
