Rules for stainless steel bollards 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.

How installation works
Prepare the cores
For covers, existing posts are checked for straightness, loose foundations and corrosion. Cores that lean or move are re-bedded first, because a cover will not hide a failing post for long.
Install new posts
New solid stainless posts are set in concrete, bolted down or fitted into sockets, with care taken not to scratch the finish or contaminate it with carbon steel tools.
Fit covers
Sleeves are slid over the cores, packed so they cannot rattle, and fixed with concealed fixings. A gap or drainage detail at the base stops water being trapped inside.
Clean and protect
Fingerprints, grinding dust and adhesive residue are cleaned off with suitable stainless cleaners, and the protective film is removed only when surrounding work is finished.

How should stainless bollards be cleaned?
With water and mild detergent, then rinsed and dried, more often in coastal or salty conditions. Use stainless cleaners and non-scratch pads for marks. Never use wire wool or steel brushes.
Are stainless bollards stronger than steel ones?
Not necessarily. Stainless tube is often thinner-walled, so strength depends on wall thickness, infill and fixing. Many stainless posts get their strength from a concrete fill or a steel core inside.
