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.

Is tropical hardwood a sustainable choice?
It can be, if it comes from certified sustainable sources. Ask for certification with the order. Oak and treated softwood from managed forests are alternatives.
Why is my new oak bollard cracking?
Oak shrinks as it dries, and surface checks and splits are a normal part of that. They rarely affect the post's strength. Deep splits that run right through, or soft wood at the base, are a different matter.
