Rules for timber bollards in England
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
Survey the setting
A free site survey looks at the ground, drainage, tree roots, how vehicles currently get onto the land and how the site looks. You receive a fixed written quote with species, size and fixing.
Set out the line
Posts are set out at spacings that stop cars passing between them while leaving gaps for walkers, buggies and wheelchairs.
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.

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.
Do timber bollards stop vehicles?
They stop most drivers deliberately mounting a verge and resist low-speed knocks, especially in dense hardwood. They are not tested barriers and should not be relied on against a vehicle driven at them deliberately.
