Overview
These VEVOR bollards share the same core purpose: they use Q235 steel pipe and high-visibility yellow paint to mark hazards, protect property and guide traffic. The key differences are height, tube diameter and base / anchor arrangements.
Taller, thicker posts give stronger visual deterrence and are better where vehicle impacts are a possibility; shorter, lighter posts are easier to install and look less imposing in pedestrian areas. All three include base plates and anchor bolts for bolted installation to concrete surfaces.
Consider what you need to stop (occasional bumping from shopping trolleys, minor impacts, or deliberate vehicle access), how visible you need the post to be from a distance, and which mounting or finish you prefer. Spacing, local regulations and required sight lines are also important.
Below are concise product cards to help match height and diameter to real-world use-cases, plus a short buying guide that covers installation, spacing and maintenance considerations.

Detailed reviews
#1 VEVOR Safety Bollard, 48 Inch Height Bollard Post, 5.5 Inch Diameter Steel Pipe Safety Bollard Post, Yellow Steel Bollard, Steel Safety Bollard with 8 Anchor Bolts, Perfect for Traffic-Sensitive Area
This VEVOR pair of 48-inch steel bollards uses Q235 steel pipe with a 5.5-inch outer diameter and a 3 mm wall thickness. The posts come with a square base plate and eight anchor bolts for bolted installation to concrete surfaces. Finished in high-visibility yellow with black accents, they’re intended for traffic-sensitive areas where a noticeable, durable barrier is needed. These heavier posts are suited to locations where occasional vehicle contact is possible or where you want a more assertive visual deterrent. Assembly is straightforward, but check fitting instructions and local mounting requirements for best results.
Key features
- Height: 48 in (122 cm)
- Tube diameter: 5.5 in (14 cm), wall 3 mm
- Material: Q235 steel with yellow/black finish
- Base plate size: 20 x 20 cm with 8 anchor bolts
- Supplied as a set of 2 posts
- Uses bolted installation to firm substrate
#2 VEVOR Safety Bollard, 36 Inch Height Bollard Post, 4.5 Inch Diameter Steel Pipe Safety Bollard Post, Yellow Steel Bollard, Steel Safety Bollard with 8 Anchor Bolts, Perfect for Traffic-Sensitive Area
This medium-height VEVOR bollard pair is 36 inches tall with a 4.5-inch tube diameter and a 3 mm wall thickness. Constructed from Q235 steel and finished in yellow with a black base, the posts include square base plates and eight anchor bolts for secure bolting to concrete. They offer a compromise between conspicuity and a less dominant appearance than the 48-inch model, making them suitable for car park perimeters, driveway entrances and pathways where you want evident separation without an overbearing barrier. Installation is typical bolted fixing; check substrate suitability and follow the supplied fitting guidance.
Key features
- Height: 36 in (91 cm)
- Tube diameter: 4.5 in (11.4 cm), wall 3 mm
- Material: Q235 steel, yellow/black finish

#3 VEVOR Safety Bollard 107 cm x 11.4 cm Safety Barrier Bollard 11.4 cm OD 107 cm Height Yellow Powder Coat Pipe Steel Safety Barrier with 4 Free Anchor Bolts for Traffic-Sensitive Area
This VEVOR bollard is a single-post style available in a 107 cm (42 in) height with a 11.4 cm tube OD and a thinner tube wall compared with the thicker models. It’s finished in a yellow powder coat with a sealed steel base and includes four anchor bolts in the bundle. Intended for traffic-sensitive areas where clear visual marking is required, this option is lighter and often sold as a set of multiple posts for perimeter or walkway demarcation. The thinner tube and slightly lighter base make it easier to handle and install, but it’s best used where heavy impact resistance isn’t a primary need.
Key features
- Height: 107 cm (42 in)
- Tube diameter: 11.4 cm (4.5 in), tube thickness approx 2 mm
- Material: Q235 steel with yellow powder coat
- Base size: 20 x 20 cm, base thickness 5 mm
- Includes 4 anchor bolts with the set
- Lighter net weight for easier handling
Buying guide
Decide on function first: use taller, thicker bollards where vehicle contact or high visibility is required; shorter posts for pedestrian-only zones or visual separation. Check tube diameter and wall thickness for impact resistance, and confirm the base plate size and number/type of anchor bolts for your substrate (concrete, tarmac etc.). Think about spacing — closer spacing prevents vehicles passing between posts but increases cost. Powder-coated yellow finishes improve daytime visibility; add reflective tape or beacons where visibility is needed at night. Factor in installation: bolting to existing concrete is quickest, but cut-and-conceal or removable options suit temporary access points. Finally, check local planning and accessibility rules to ensure bollard placement doesn’t obstruct escape routes or create trip hazards.
FAQs
How high should bollards be for a car park?
For most car parks a height of around 900–1200 mm (36–48 in) is common; taller posts are more visible and provide better protection against low-speed vehicle impacts. Choose based on visibility requirements and the level of vehicle restraint needed.
Can these bollards be bolted into tarmac?
They are designed for bolted installation and will need a firm, compacted substrate. For tarmac you may need additional preparation such as a concrete pad. Check anchor bolt specifications and, if in doubt, consult an installer.
Do these bollards need maintenance?
Yes—periodic checks for corrosion, tightness of anchor bolts and condition of the paint or powder-coat are recommended. Touch up scratches promptly to reduce rust risk and preserve visibility.
Our recommended choice
The 48-inch, 5.5-inch diameter VEVOR bollard is the most versatile choice for mixed car park and walkway protection where stronger presence and better vehicle deterrence are needed. If you need lower visual impact or are working to a tighter budget, consider the shorter options below.
