Measurements

To determine how many bollards you need?

Measure your driveway entrance. For driveways up to 3 meters wide, you’ll likely need 1 bollard. For wider driveways, you’ll need more. As a general rule, aim for a maximum gap of 1.2 meters between bollards to prevent vehicle access while allowing pedestrian traffic.

Here’s a more detailed guide:

Up to 3 meters (3.4m max): 1 bollard
3m to 4.5m (5.1m max): 2 bollards

Factors to consider

Pedestrian access

Ensure bollards are spaced at least 3 feet (1 meter) apart to accommodate pedestrians, including those using wheelchairs, according to Ursa Gates.

Vehicle deterrence

For effective vehicle deterrence, keep the maximum gap between bollards to 1.2 meters, according to Ursa Gates.

Compliance

In the UK, bollards must be spaced with a maximum gap of 1.2 meters to prevent vehicles from bypassing them, according to Ursa Gates.

Aesthetics and practicality

Consider how the bollards will look and how they will impact pedestrian traffic and your daily use of the driveway.
