How these bollards differ — quick overview
All three products are steel safety bollards from Vevor UK with yellow/black finish and anchor-bolt mounting. They use Q235 steel and are intended for traffic-sensitive locations such as driveways, car parks, loading bays and pedestrian edges.
The main differences are height and tube diameter. Taller, wider bollards give greater visual presence and slightly more protection against accidental vehicle impacts; shorter, narrower posts are cheaper, lighter and less obtrusive where full vehicle blocking isn’t needed.
Mounting and base plate size are similar across the range, with supplied anchor bolts. Pay attention to base plate thickness and tube wall gauge if you need heavier impact resistance — these affect long-term durability and rigidity.
Use your site’s layout, vehicle speeds and whether you need removable or fixed posts to decide. Where in doubt, measure sightlines and potential impact points and match a bollard that balances visibility, protection and budget.

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 bollard is the largest of the three, offering a 48-inch (122 cm) height and a 5.5-inch (14 cm) outer diameter tube made from Q235 steel. It comes in yellow and black for high visibility and includes a sizeable base plate with eight anchor bolts for a secure installation. The unit is marketed for traffic-sensitive areas where visibility and a stronger physical presence are priorities. Tube wall thickness and overall weight make it a good option for locations that need more obvious vehicle guidance and deterrence.
Key features
- Height: 48 in (122 cm) for strong visual presence
- Tube diameter: 5.5 in (14 cm) for greater rigidity
- Material: Q235 steel with yellow/black finish
- Base plate: 20 x 20 cm with eight anchor bolts

#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
The 36-inch (91 cm) VEVOR bollard offers a compromise between presence and convenience. With a 4.5-inch (11.4 cm) tube and roughly 3 mm wall thickness, it is lighter than the largest model while still providing solid visual guidance and basic protection. It includes a 20 x 20 cm base plate and eight anchor bolts for a stable permanent installation. This option suits car-park edges, shopfronts and property boundaries where you need defined vehicle control without an oversized post.
Key features
- Height: 36 in (91 cm) suitable for many urban sites
- Tube diameter: 4.5 in (11.4 cm)
- Material: Q235 steel, yellow/black finish
- Base plate: 20 x 20 cm with eight anchor bolts

#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 option is a practical, lower-cost bollard sold in a set and finished in yellow powder coat for visibility and corrosion resistance. It measures around 107 cm (42 in) tall with an 11.4 cm (4.5 in) outer diameter and a slightly thinner tube wall (approx. 2 mm), and includes four anchor bolts in the bundle. The base plate is listed as thicker in one area (about 5 mm) which can help anchoring strength. As a budget-friendly choice, it’s suitable for light-duty uses such as marking pedestrian routes or protecting fixed street furniture rather than resisting heavier impacts.
Key features
- Height: 107 cm (approx. 42 in)
- Tube diameter: 4.5 in (11.4 cm)
- Material: Q235 steel with yellow powder coat
- Includes: set of anchor bolts (4) for mounting
- Tube wall thickness: approx. 2 mm
- Base plate dimensions: 20 x 20 cm, thicker base option listed
Buying guide
Decide on three things first: how much visual presence you need (taller = easier to see), how much physical protection you expect (larger diameter and thicker tube = stronger) and whether you want a permanently fixed post or a removable style. Check tube diameter and wall thickness for impact resistance, base plate size and bolt count for anchoring strength, and finish (powder coat) for corrosion protection. Measure the installation surface and confirm anchor bolt length and sleeve type before buying. If installation is on loose or thin substrates, factor in concrete anchors or ground sleeves for a secure fit.
FAQs
What height and diameter do I need?
For high visibility and vehicle deterrence choose taller posts (around 48 in / 122 cm). For pedestrian-only protection or subtle guidance, 36–42 in can be sufficient. Larger diameters (around 14 cm / 5.5 in) offer more resistance to impact than slimmer tubes.
Can I install these on existing concrete?
Yes — the products include anchor bolts for fixing to concrete. Make sure the concrete is thick enough and in good condition. For thin slabs or tarmac, consider specialist anchors or a reinforced base.
Our recommended choice
The 48-inch, 5.5-inch diameter bollard (ranked #1) is the best all-round option for visibility and presence while still being straightforward to install. It suits locations that need a stronger visual and physical deterrent without stepping up to specialist crash-rated posts.
