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
Survey and match
A free site survey records existing cores, diameters, heights and the setting, including any salt or coastal exposure that points to 316. You receive a fixed written quote covering grade, finish and fixing.
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.
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.
Stainless steel bollards in Perth and Kinross: FAQs

Who do I ask about bollards on public land in Perth and Kinross?
The council is the roads authority for local roads (Perth and Kinross Council); Transport Scotland covers trunk roads. Works in a public road need the roads authority's written consent.
Should I choose 304 or 316 stainless for bollards?
Choose 316 if the bollards are near the sea, a swimming pool or a road that is salted heavily; choose 304 for most other locations. The extra resistance of 316 to chlorides is what stops brown staining in those settings.
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.
