Bollards and barrier posts can not only fulfil the function of a barrier system, they can also be used for the creative design of public and private spaces and squares. On the one hand, posts and bollards create the ambience desired by the planner; on the other hand, they take on important tasks as a product for traffic management, demarcation and cordoning off.
They prevent unauthorised parking in private car parks just as easily as driving in pedestrian zones or parking vehicles on footpaths and cycle paths. In order not to obstruct the access of authorised vehicles, bollards are used that are detachable, tiltable or retractable. Bollards are one of the integrative elements of successful open space design and have become indispensable in today's public spaces, both in urban and rural environments.
The materials from which bollards are made include steel, stainless steel, aluminium, plastic or wood. Bollards can be either conventional linear or freestanding. Bollards are available in a variety of designs. They differ not only in material, but also in design and features. Thus, classic or modern models are available, which, depending on the wishes of those responsible, either integrate seamlessly into the character of their surroundings or set accents through a deliberate change of style.
