Set the bollard location and prepare the surface

First, you’ll want to set the bollard location. You’ll need to find a level surface that’s strong enough to support the weight of the heavy-duty removable bollards. If you have a ramp or driveway leading up to your gate, try setting one there! Next, clean and dry up any debris from the ground before installing your new removable bollards—you don’t want anything getting in between them and their brackets. Finally, ensure the surface is free of debris, so nothing gets stuck between your new removable bollards when they’re in use.

Install Base Plate

Prep the area where you want to install removable bollards. Use a level to ensure your base plate is level with the ground and with each other. This way, when you’re installing your bollards on top, they will be straight and even.

Install the removable bollard

Once the base plate is in place, you’ll want to install the removable bollard. This can be done with a forklift or crane. Check to make sure the bollard is level, and then add cement. Let dry overnight before placing your sign on top of it.
