Overview

These three Vevor bollards are variations on a simple theme: powder‑coated steel posts with base plates and anchor bolts. They’re intended to mark and protect pedestrian routes, storefronts, plant or sensitive equipment from vehicle access or accidental impact.

Key differences are height and tube diameter. The taller, thicker post gives a stronger visual and physical presence; the shorter, slimmer options are easier to position where headroom or sightlines matter. All models use Q235 steel and bright yellow/black colouring for visibility.

Installation is straightforward but needs planning — you’ll need suitable anchor bolts and the right substrate (concrete is typical). Think about whether you want removable, hinged or fixed posts; these Vevor options are fixed posts with base plates and anchor bolts included or supplied.

Use case matters: choose taller, wider tubes for vehicle deterrence in car parks or entrance protection; choose the shorter, lighter posts for pedestrian walkways, cycle paths or temporary segregation. If impact resistance is critical, consider a purpose‑built crash‑rated bollard from a specialist supplier.

#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 48‑inch Vevor bollard uses Q235 steel and a 5.5‑inch diameter tube to provide a visually strong, durable post for vehicle and site protection. It comes as a pair with substantial base plates and eight anchor bolts per post for fixed surface mounting. The yellow and black finish improves day‑time visibility and the thicker pipe gives more presence than slimmer posts. It’s suited to car park entrances, loading bays and locations where you need a clear physical and visual barrier. Installation is straightforward on concrete, but bear in mind the weight and the need for appropriate fixings and tools.

Key features

  • Height: 48 in (122 cm)
  • Tube diameter: 5.5 in (14 cm)
  • Material: Q235 steel with yellow/black finish
  • Includes base plates and 8 anchor bolts per post
  • Tube wall thickness: approx. 3 mm

#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 Vevor bollard is a mid‑height option with a 4.5‑inch diameter tube made from Q235 steel. Supplied in pairs with base plates and anchor bolts, it’s designed to be visible without dominating sightlines or intruding into pedestrian zones. The slightly slimmer tube reduces weight compared with larger models, making handling and installation easier while still offering a clear physical barrier to vehicles and trolleys. It’s a sensible choice for walkways, cycle route edges, retail frontage protection and lighter duty vehicle control.

Key features

  • Height: 36 in (91 cm)
  • Tube diameter: 4.5 in (11.4 cm)
  • Material: Q235 steel with yellow/black finish
  • Includes base plates and 8 anchor bolts per post
  • Tube wall thickness: approx. 3 mm
  • Sold as a set of 2 posts

#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 107 cm (42 in) Vevor bollard set offers a cost‑conscious way to mark perimeters, pedestrian routes and low‑risk areas. The posts use Q235 steel with a powder coat finish and come with base plates and anchor bolts in a four‑piece bundle. Tube thickness is somewhat thinner than the heavier‑duty options, so these are best for visual segregation and low‑impact protection rather than stopping vehicles. Their lighter weight and simpler specification make them straightforward to install where you need several posts without a high budget.

Key features

  • Height: 107 cm (42 in)
  • Tube diameter: 4.5 in (11.4 cm)
  • Material: Q235 steel with yellow powder coat
  • Base size: approx. 20 x 20 cm, base thickness 5 mm
  • Tube wall thickness: approx. 2 mm
  • Includes 4 anchor bolts (sold as a 4‑piece set)

Buying guide

Decide on three things first: where the bollard will be mounted (surface material), what it must stop (vehicles, trolleys, bikes) and whether it should be removable. Height and tube diameter affect visibility and deterrence — taller and thicker is tougher but heavier and more obtrusive. Check base plate size and anchor bolt type against your mounting surface. If you need certified impact performance look for crash‑rated products from specialist manufacturers. Finally, allow for installation costs and check delivery or bulk pricing if you need several.

FAQs

Can I install these bollards on any surface?

These bollards are designed for surface mounting to a solid substrate such as concrete. Soft ground or asphalt may need additional preparation or sleeves. Check anchor bolt length and fixings for your surface before buying.

Our recommended choice

For general site and vehicle protection the 48‑inch, 5.5‑inch OD Vevor bollard gives the best balance of presence and robustness. It’s easier to see from a distance and the larger tube is a stronger physical deterrent for car parks and driveways.
