Overview

These three VEVOR posts are variations on the same basic idea: painted steel bollards with a base plate and anchor bolts for securing to concrete. The main differences are overall height, tube diameter and tube thickness — factors that affect visibility, deterrence and how much impact they can take.

The taller 48-inch/122 cm post (5.5 inch / 14 cm OD) is the most prominent and heavier-duty of the three, offering greater presence where vehicle access needs clear separation from pedestrians. The mid-height 36-inch/91 cm post and the 107 cm / 42-inch post are shorter options with narrower tubes that still provide clear visual guidance and a physical barrier for low-speed areas.

All three use Q235 steel and a yellow/black finish to boost visibility. Base plates are supplied with anchor bolts, so installation is typically straightforward on solid surfaces, but you should check anchor count and bolt length against your substrate before ordering.

When choosing, consider sightlines, the level of protection required, local regulations (if any), and how the bollards will be fixed. Taller, thicker posts offer more deterrence; smaller-diameter, lower posts can be neater for pedestrian zones or lighter-duty areas.

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

Medium-duty sites such as car parks, storefront boundaries or service areas where a visible but less imposing post is preferred

  • Still requires suitable substrate for secure anchoring
  • Finish may need touch-ups over time in busy locations
  • Anchor bolt specification should be checked for your surface
  • May not deter deliberate vehicle impact
  • Some installation accessories or specialised fixings might be needed separately

This VEVOR 48-inch (122 cm) bollard is the largest of the three and built from Q235 steel.

The unit arrives with a square base plate and multiple anchor bolts for fixing to concrete. The black-and-yellow finish improves daytime visibility. It’s a straightforward fixed-post solution suited to commercial sites, car park entries or locations where a robust barrier is required.

  • Tube diameter: 5.5 in / 14 cm

#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 has a narrower tube than the 48-inch model but retains the same basic construction: Q235 steel with a yellow/black finish and a bolted base plate. Its pipe thickness is listed at around 3 mm, delivering a good compromise between presence and visual subtlety. It’s a popular choice where you need a clear physical barrier that doesn’t dominate the streetscape — for example, protecting kerbs, walkways or demarcating bays in car parks.

Key features

  • Height: 36 in / 91 cm
  • Tube diameter: 4.5 in / 11.4 cm
  • Material: Q235 steel with yellow/black finish
  • Pipe thickness: ~3 mm
  • Base plate: 20 x 20 cm with 8 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

The unit is supplied as a set with four anchor bolts and aims to balance neat aesthetics with everyday functionality. It’s a sensible choice for sites that need protection but not the larger footprint of the tallest model.

Key features

  • Height: 107 cm / 42 in
  • Tube diameter: 4.5 in / 11.4 cm
  • Material: Q235 steel with yellow powder-coat finish

Buying guide

Height and diameter: Taller, wider posts offer more visible protection and greater resistance to incidental vehicle contact. For perimeter protection or driveway entrances choose taller/heavier posts; for pedestrian walkways or indoor use, shorter posts usually suffice.
Material and finish: Q235 steel with powder or painted finish is common — check for corrosion protection if the bollard will see weather or coastal conditions.
Mounting: Verify base plate size, bolt count and anchor type are suitable for your substrate (concrete, asphalt, paving). Some sets include anchors; others may need heavier-duty fixings.
Visibility: Yellow with black detailing improves daytime visibility; consider reflective tape or additional markings for low-light locations.
Installation and maintenance: Installation typically needs concrete or large paving blocks and basic tools. Periodic inspection of fixings and paintwork will extend service life.
Compliance and planning: Check local requirements for public areas, and consider whether removable or fixed bollards are needed in areas where occasional vehicle access is required.

FAQs

Do these bollards come with anchor bolts?

Each listing mentions anchor bolts included, but quantities vary (some sets include four or eight). Check the product page for the exact contents and the bolt size before ordering.

Can I paint or customise the bollards?

Yes — these are steel posts with a painted or powder-coated finish. For long-term protection, use suitable metal primers and paints and follow best practice for surface preparation.

Our recommended choice

For sites that need clear visual separation and a heavier-duty barrier, the 48-inch VEVOR bollard is the most robust option. If you need a lower-profile solution for pedestrian areas or lighter duty, the 36-inch or 42-inch posts are practical and easier to integrate.
