CHEAP BOLLARDS?

Bollards are subject to impact yeah? So please stop paying good money for imported bollards that are not impact resistant or even UV resistant!

There's good reason they are cheap - they don't last, they dent, fade and look rubbish in no time- so you have to return and buy mor, and they definitely don't recover from impact! Did you know these retailers buy them for less than $20.00 AUD dollars (see proof below) and sell them for $3-400!! It's rude, and it's causing avoidable landfill.

We have some simple low cost solutions that will save you heaps and continue working year after year and our mark-ups are infinitesimal compared to theirs. We manufacture locally made bollards from Australian materials and we design them to withstand impact! 

THERE'S GOOD REASON SOME BOLLARDS ARE CHEAP 

Quite simply- they are rubish and they are filling our tips!

They are made using low grade steel that quickly rusts, bends, corrodes, cheap low grade powder coating that fades, chips and looks disgusting in no time. Shown here the cap has become brittle and totally broken off, the bollard is faded and unsightly.

When buying- they look the same but it's not long, before they look very, very different. Please STOP buying cheap imported products with massive mark-ups and rewarding built-in obsolescence that is filling our landfills with this rubbish - THE MONEY IS BETTER IN YOUR POCKET THAN THERE'S, ISN'T IT?

WHEN "CHEAP", BECOMES VERY EXPENSIVE

This council bought some cheap pine logs and installed them in paving - well, they thought they were saving money, but this bollard was damaged several times a year costing the council thousands year after year to repeatedly replace.

For less than the cost of one replacement this council could have installed a bollard that would continue working after hundreds of impacts- saving thousands year after year, for the next 100 years!

Imagine the cost of this one replacement - there's the electronic signage, the two traffic management persons, two workers, concrete, new replacement paving, cone set up, traffic management plan, site clean up , then removal of traffic management and tipping fees. All for a ten dollar bollard, that will possibly be hit again next week, and the saga will continue. 

BTW: I really don't like to shame this local government authority (as they have since installed thousands of ZERO WASTE Foundations) but this photo says it all.
