Choose the position
Consider the full vehicle path, the location of the parked car, gate movement and pedestrian clearance. A wide or angled opening may need more than one post.

Planning telescopic bollards for your site
The layout, surface and access routine determine which product and installation method make sense.
Check below ground
The sleeve needs sufficient depth, an appropriate foundation and a drainage arrangement. Buried services or water collecting on the site can change the design.
Plan daily use
Check the chosen model’s lowered height, lock, key access and the effort needed to raise it. The post should be practical for everyone who uses the drive.
COMPARE YOUR OPTIONS
Is this the right type of post?
If raising a manual post feels too demanding, compare a lift-assist post. If vehicles enter and leave frequently, consider powered operation.

COMMON QUESTION
Telescopic bollards in West Malling: what to check
Will a telescopic bollard fit an existing driveway?
It may be possible in paving, concrete or tarmac, but the surface alone cannot confirm suitability. We need to consider the substrate, buried services, available depth and water management.
How much is installation in West Malling?
There is no reliable price from the town name alone. The post, number required, surface, ground conditions and any electrical or drainage work affect the quote. Share photos and your postcode so the actual site can be assessed.
