How to space out your bollards

One of the most important bollard subjects is spacing. You can space them differently depending on the setting and your needs. For example, you might need them to stop cars from driving through. In this case, you should not space them apart any further than 5 feet. In many cases you should keep the spacing to just 3 feet.

However, people use bollards for many other reasons. They are great for building and storefront protection. In addition, they can safeguard plants and landmarks. You will also find them near loading docks and around utilities. All of these sites might demand separate spacings.

Large perimeters

Usually, you would install bollards in a row. This is for guarding larger perimeters and enhancing visual awareness. You can also find them in rows in various public places, including to protect boulevards, squares, and parks.

Buildings and storefronts

Here it is often wise to use impact-resistant bollards. Instead of having a row, you may only have one or two of them. To get the spacing right, you need to ensure that a vehicle will not be able to drive between or around them. Again it may be best to keep the gap between them to less than three feet. It may be wiser to keep them even closer to prevent motorcycles from gaining access too.

Narrow roads or driveways

If you are protecting an access road or a driveway, you may only need a single bollard. Placing it in the middle could prevent most vehicles from gaining access.
