Bollard Systems
Types of Bollards We Install
We install the full range of commercial bollard systems — from basic pipe bollards to removable and decorative options. The right choice depends on your application, traffic conditions, and access requirements.
Steel Pipe Bollards
The most common commercial bollard — schedule 40 or schedule 80 steel pipe, set in concrete with a dome or flat cap. Primed and painted safety yellow or custom color. Built to withstand vehicle impact and daily abuse.
Removable Bollards
A sleeve is set in concrete and the bollard post locks in and out as needed. Ideal for delivery areas, fire lanes, emergency vehicle access, and seasonal entry points that need to be opened periodically.
Surface-Mount Bollards
For retrofit applications where cutting into existing concrete is not feasible. Surface-mount systems bolt directly to the slab and provide vehicle deterrence without full core drilling or sleeve installation.
Decorative Bollards
Cast iron and steel bollards in architectural styles for storefronts, pedestrian areas, and properties where aesthetics matter alongside protection. Available in a range of profiles, heights, and finishes.
Bollard Covers & Sleeves
High-visibility plastic covers and decorative sleeves fit over standard pipe bollards to improve appearance and visibility. Available in yellow, red, white, and custom colors. Easy to replace when damaged.
Bollard & Fence Combinations
Bollards are frequently installed alongside fencing, dumpster enclosures, and gate systems as part of a complete perimeter solution. We integrate bollard placement with your existing or new fence and gate layout.
Applications
Where We Install Bollards
Bollards serve a wide range of commercial applications — from protecting storefronts to managing parking lot traffic to securing perimeters.
Dumpster Enclosures
Bollards installed along the sides and front of dumpster enclosures protect gate hinges, posts, and walls from waste hauler truck damage. One of the most cost-effective ways to extend enclosure life — we install these on new builds and as upgrades to existing enclosures.
Storefronts & Retail
Protect storefront windows, doors, and building facades from vehicle intrusion. Bollards installed at storefronts deter smash-and-grab theft, accidental vehicle impact, and intentional ram attacks. Common for retail strips, banks, and convenience stores.
Parking Lots & Garages
Define traffic flow, protect columns and curbs, mark pedestrian pathways, and prevent vehicles from accessing restricted areas. We install bollards throughout parking lots and garages as part of larger parking structure projects.
Loading Docks & Warehouses
Protect dock doors, building corners, rack systems, and pedestrian walkways from forklift and truck traffic. Industrial bollards in warehouses and distribution centers prevent costly equipment and structural damage.
Restaurants & Food Service
Outdoor dining areas, drive-through lanes, and building perimeters all benefit from bollard protection. We install bollard systems that protect infrastructure while maintaining the property aesthetic.
Government & Institutional
Schools, municipal buildings, hospitals, and government facilities use bollards to control vehicle access, protect building entrances, and secure pedestrian zones. We install to IBC and site-specific security requirements.

Reviews
What Our Clients Say
Property managers, warehouse operators, and retail facility teams throughout Atlanta trust Fence Workshop for bollard installation.
“We had a waste hauler take out our dumpster enclosure gate for the third time. Fence Workshop installed bollards around the whole enclosure and we haven't had a problem since. Should have done it years ago.”
James R.
Property Manager, Kennesaw GA
“Fast, clean install. They came out, assessed our loading dock situation, and had bollards in the ground within a week. Our forklift operators finally have proper protection around the dock doors.”
Sandra T.
Warehouse Operations Director, Norcross GA
“We manage a retail strip center and needed storefront bollards before our lease renewal. Fence Workshop handled the whole thing — permit, installation, paint. Professional from start to finish.”

Our Process
How Bollard Installation Works
Straightforward from site assessment to finished installation.
Site Assessment
We walk the site, assess the application, and determine the right bollard type, spacing, and installation method — sleeve-set, surface-mount, or core drilled into existing concrete.
Quote & Layout
We provide a clear quote with bollard type, quantity, spacing, and finish. For larger installations, we mark the layout for your review before digging begins.
Installation
We core drill or excavate, set sleeves or pour concrete footings, and install the bollards plumb and at consistent height. Paint or covers applied on-site.
Done Right
We inspect the finished installation for alignment, depth, and finish quality. Bollards are ready for immediate use upon completion.

FAQ
Bollard Installation — Frequently Asked Questions
- •
What types of bollards do you install?
We install steel pipe bollards, removable bollards, surface-mount bollards, and decorative cast iron bollards for commercial applications. The right type depends on your security requirements, traffic conditions, and aesthetic goals. We assess your site and recommend the best system for your specific application.
- •
What is the difference between fixed and removable bollards?
Fixed bollards are set in concrete and provide permanent vehicle barriers. Removable bollards use a receiver sleeve set in concrete so the post can be unlocked and removed when access is needed — common for delivery areas, emergency vehicle access points, and seasonal access routes. We install both types and can combine them in the same installation.
- •
How deep do bollards need to be set?
Standard steel pipe bollards are typically set 3–4 feet into concrete to provide adequate vehicle barrier resistance. The exact depth depends on the bollard diameter, post schedule, and impact requirements for your application. We follow ASTM and IBC guidelines for commercial bollard installations.
- •
Can bollards be installed in existing concrete?
Yes. We core drill existing concrete to set bollard sleeves or install surface-mount bollard systems designed for retrofit applications. This is common for storefront protection, parking lot upgrades, and adding bollards to existing dumpster enclosures without full demolition.
- •
Do you install bollards around dumpster enclosures?
Yes. Bollards around dumpster enclosures are one of our most common installations. They protect gate hinges, posts, and enclosure walls from waste hauler truck damage — extending the life of the enclosure significantly. We typically install them in conjunction with new enclosure builds or as an add-on to existing enclosures.
- •
Do you paint or finish bollards?
Yes. Standard steel pipe bollards are primed and painted in your choice of color — safety yellow is most common for high-visibility applications, but we can match any color. We also install bollard covers (plastic sleeves) for properties that want a cleaner, finished appearance.
