Shop Surface-Mount Bollards Online

Our surface-mount bollards provide a practical solution for projects where the bollard can be secured to an appropriate existing surface. Each model has a welded steel baseplate with mounting points for suitable anchors.

You can shop galvanised and safety-yellow products online for new installations, extensions or compatible replacements. Matching caps are also available separately.

Surface-mounted products are only as effective as their substrate and fixings. Confirm the condition and suitability of the mounting surface, select the recommended anchors and follow the relevant project requirements.

Choose the Right Steel Bollard Size

114 mm Surface-Mounted Bollards

The 114 mm bollard is the lightest-duty option in the current range. It is 1200 mm high and manufactured from 100NB steel pipe with a 3.5 mm wall. A 200 × 200 × 10 mm baseplate supports surface installation.

These bollards may suit boundary definition, pedestrian areas, retail storefronts and selected commercial or parking applications. The product listing recommends four M16 × 125 mm galvanised TruBolts for an appropriate substrate.

165 mm Surface-Mounted Bollards

The 165 mm product is the medium-duty option. It is 1200 mm high and uses 150NB pipe with a 4.8 mm wall, together with a 250 × 250 × 10 mm baseplate.

Its larger steel construction may suit industrial worksites, warehouses, car parks and areas requiring a more substantial physical barrier. The product listing recommends four M20 × 125 mm galvanised TruBolts.

219 mm Surface-Mounted Bollards

The 219 mm model is the largest and heaviest-duty option in the online range. It can be considered for commercial or industrial locations requiring a more substantial bollard.

Choosing the largest product does not automatically make it suitable for every impact or security application. Check its individual specifications and assess the site, substrate, traffic and protection requirements before purchase.

Galvanised and Yellow Safety Bollards

Galvanised steel bollards have a protective hot-dip galvanised finish designed to support long-lasting performance in outdoor, commercial and industrial environments. Their neutral metallic appearance suits many car parks, warehouses, public spaces and building surrounds.

Yellow safety bollards are galvanised before being powder-coated in a bright safety-yellow finish. The additional colour makes the barrier easier to see around vehicles, forklifts, loading areas, pedestrian routes and restricted zones.

Both finishes offer reliable steel construction. The right option will depend on the installation environment, visibility requirements and preferred site appearance.

Parking and Car Park Bollards

Parking bollards can help define the boundary between vehicle and pedestrian zones. Common applications include:

  • Pedestrian routes through car parks
  • Structural columns and building corners
  • Light poles and fire services
  • Electrical or mechanical equipment
  • Loading and delivery areas
  • Driveways and restricted access points
  • Shopfronts and building entrances

The required bollard size, position and spacing will depend on vehicle movements, available clearance and the intended function. A product used for visual guidance or access control may require different performance from a bollard intended for physical protection.

Warehouse and Factory Bollards

Warehouse bollards can be positioned around machinery, racking ends, doorways, loading areas, coolrooms and vulnerable building elements. They may also help distinguish pedestrian walkways from routes used by forklifts and other mobile equipment.

Safety-yellow finishes can improve visibility in busy operational environments. Bollards should be incorporated into a wider traffic-management plan that considers signage, line marking, vehicle routes, pedestrian movement and access requirements.

Bollards for Storefronts, Worksites and Public Spaces

Steel bollards may be used around retail storefronts, building entrances and exposed structural elements. They can also define restricted zones at commercial and industrial worksites or establish separation between driveways and pedestrian areas.

In public spaces, bollards may guide movement, discourage unauthorised vehicle entry and reinforce the edge of pedestrian zones. The selected product must be appropriate for its intended purpose; the presence of a bollard alone does not establish a specific crash or security rating.

Fixed and Breakaway Bollards

The products displayed in this category are fixed, surface-mounted steel bollards. They are designed to remain secured to an appropriate surface through their baseplates and selected anchors.

Breakaway bollards are a different product type designed to yield, detach or deform in a particular way when struck. They may be used for selected traffic-management applications where a fixed protective bollard is unsuitable.

Breakaway performance must be supported by the product’s design and technical documentation. Contact Guardrail Direct to discuss availability if your project specifically requires a breakaway product. Do not substitute a standard fixed bollard for a specified breakaway system.

Bollards as Part of a Traffic-Management System

Bollards provide localised boundaries or protection, but some sites require several complementary safety products.

A W-beam guardrail can create a continuous barrier along a vehicle route. A steel traffic barrier may be required for a different traffic or impact environment, while a modular handrail can help define pedestrian walkways. Safety mirrors may improve visibility at blind corners, intersections or warehouse aisles.

The best combination depends on vehicle speeds, movement patterns, sightlines, pedestrian activity and the assets being protected.

Bollard Installation in Melbourne

Correct installation is essential to the performance and stability of surface-mounted bollards. The process should include assessing the substrate, setting out each position, selecting compatible anchors and installing the bollards in accordance with the product and project requirements.

Guardrail Direct can assist with bollard installation in Melbourne and assess installation enquiries for projects in other locations. For bollard installation Australia-wide, contact the team with your location, quantities, site details and required timeframe to confirm service availability.

Professional or engineering advice may be required where the installation involves specific impact, security or compliance requirements.

Custom Steel Bollards

Standard diameters and finishes will not suit every project. Guardrail Direct can discuss custom bollards for locations requiring different dimensions, baseplates, finishes or configurations.

Provide your measurements, drawings and intended application so the team can assess the requirements and prepare a customised quote.

Safety bollards can define boundaries, discourage vehicle access and provide physical separation around pedestrians, buildings, equipment and restricted zones. Their suitability depends on the specific product and application.

Guardrail Direct offers 114 mm, 165 mm and 219 mm options. Consider the hazard, vehicle environment, available space, substrate and required performance. Seek advice if the project has specific impact or security requirements.

Galvanised bollards have a protective metallic finish. Yellow bollards are galvanised and then powder-coated safety yellow for increased visibility in car parks, factories, warehouses and other busy areas.

The bollard’s baseplate is secured to an appropriate surface using suitable anchors. The product, substrate, fixing type and installation quality all influence the finished system.

Check the individual product listing to confirm what is included. The 114 mm and 165 mm bollard pages recommend different galvanised TruBolt sizes, which can be ordered separately if required.

No. The products currently displayed in this category are fixed surface-mounted bollards. Contact Guardrail Direct if your project requires a purpose-designed breakaway product.
