Before we dig in Enniskillen
In Enniskillen, as everywhere in Northern Ireland, public roads and footways are looked after by DfI Roads rather than the council. If a post would sit on adopted footway, that consent comes first; private forecourts and car parks are a matter for the owner.
Planning in Northern Ireland sits with the councils, so for a listed building or conservation area in Enniskillen the planning team at Fermanagh and Omagh District Council is the one to ask before posts go in.
Where bollards protect a shopfront, the building's own foundations and any canopy columns may sit close to the line, which limits how deep and wide each base can go. Positions are scanned and hand-dug before committing, and foundations are sized for the ground found rather than a fixed hole size.
- If a tested product has been requested, confirm PAS 170-1 or another stated standard and install to the tested foundation.
- Keep clear gaps of typically at least 1,000–1,200 mm and keep main walkways wide enough, referring to Inclusive Mobility guidance.
Installation, step by step
Reinstate
Paving, tarmac or concrete is made good flush around each post, with tactile paving reinstated where it was disturbed.
Add bands and markings
Reflective bands are fitted and any wheel stops or line markings agreed in the scheme are installed.
Agree a plan for live trading
Work is phased so entrances and walkways stay open, with each section fenced while it is dug and set. Busy sites often prefer early starts or quieter weekdays.
Options to consider
| Option | Detail |
|---|---|
| Stainless or architectural finishes | Stainless sleeves or decorative posts for shop entrances and public-facing frontages. |
| PAS 170-1 tested bollards | Tested against low-speed vehicle impacts, for sites where proven performance has been asked for. |
| Concrete-filled steel posts | Root-fixed galvanised and powder-coated steel, the standard unrated choice for walkways and frontages. |
What affects the quote
Our Northern Ireland guide prices are a starting point; the survey in Enniskillen firms them up. What tends to move them:
- Working around trading hours and live car parks
- Number of posts and length of line
- Ground conditions and services along kerb lines
Looking after them
Keep a simple note of strikes and their locations; over a year it shows which parts of the car park drivers find awkward, which is useful when the site is next resurfaced or re-lined. If one post keeps being hit, look at the bay layout or add a wheel stop rather than replacing the same post repeatedly.
If posts in Enniskillen are later hit or damaged, we can repair or replace them — see bollard repairs.
Common questions
Do you install pedestrian protection bollards in Enniskillen?
We cover all of Enniskillen (BT74 and BT94) and the rest of Fermanagh and Omagh.
Who gives permission for bollards on the pavement in Enniskillen?
Across Northern Ireland the Department for Infrastructure's DfI Roads is the roads authority, so pedestrian protection bollards on a public footway or road in Enniskillen need its agreement before anything is dug. Posts on your own land do not.
What's a typical price for pedestrian protection bollards in Enniskillen?
In Enniskillen, typically £245–£1,195 per bollard, supplied and installed, plus VAT, with a minimum job of £575 plus VAT, using our Northern Ireland guide prices. The fixed figure comes in writing after we've seen the site.
Will bollards block trolleys?
They should not if gaps are planned for trolleys and wheelchairs. Main routes to trolley bays need wider openings. We set gaps to suit the way the site works.
Our outdoor seating faces the car park: what should we do?
Put a line of posts between the seating and the nearest parking or driving lane, with gaps narrow enough to stop a car. Positions should allow for cars that overshoot a bay. It is worth recording the decision in your risk assessment.
