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.
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.

Who do I ask about bollards on public land in Lincolnshire?
For local roads, Lincolnshire County Council, North East Lincolnshire Council and North Lincolnshire Council; National Highways covers motorways and trunk roads. Bollards on adopted highway need the highway authority's written agreement.
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.
How long will a timber bollard last in the ground?
It depends on species, treatment and how the post is set. Dense hardwoods and oak heartwood last much longer than softwood, and posts that are kept out of standing water last longer than those sitting in wet concrete. A steel shoe that keeps timber off the ground extends life considerably.
