Rules for timber bollards in Wales
Bollards on adopted highway are a matter for the highway authority under the Highways Act 1980, so they need its written agreement. 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
Set out the line
Posts are set out at spacings that stop cars passing between them while leaving gaps for walkers, buggies and wheelchairs.
Dig the holes
Holes are dug by hand or auger to the required depth, avoiding roots and checking for services along verges and footpaths.
Set the posts
Posts are set plumb and to a consistent height, backfilled with compacted stone or concreted with a shaped top. Cut softwood ends are re-treated.
Finish and tidy
Reflective bands are fitted, turf is reinstated around the posts and spoil is removed or spread as agreed.

Who do I ask about bollards on public land in Denbighshire?
For local roads, Denbighshire County Council; the Welsh Government covers trunk roads. Bollards on adopted highway need the authority's written agreement.
Should timber posts be set in concrete?
Only with care. Concrete holds the post firmly but can trap water around it at ground level, where rot starts. A free-draining base and a concrete collar shaped to shed water help, and compacted stone backfill is often better in clay.
Can timber bollards be removable?
Yes. Timber posts can be fitted into steel ground sockets with a lock, or mounted on a hinged base. That allows maintenance vehicles or emergency services through without a permanent gap.
