How Much Do Security Bollards Cost?
Security bollards are one of the most cost-effective ways to protect your driveway, vehicles and property — and prices are far more affordable than most people expect. At Bison Products, a single supply-only security bollard starts from around £99.99, a quality telescopic driveway bollard typically sits between £160 and £300, and a complete supply-and-fit package, where our team does all the hard work for you, generally falls between £430 and £660 per bollard installed.
What you'll actually pay comes down to four things: the type of bollard you choose, the material it's made from, how many you need, and whether you fit it yourself or have us install it. This page breaks down each of those costs in plain terms so you can budget with confidence — with no hidden surprises.
As a family-owned British manufacturer protecting homes and businesses since 1972, we keep our pricing transparent and our quality high. Every order comes with free UK mainland delivery and no minimum spend.

What Affects the Cost of a Security Bollard?
1. The type and mechanism The way a bollard operates is the biggest single driver of price. Simple fold-down and concrete-in static posts are the most affordable because the engineering is minimal. Telescopic bollards — which lift up to secure and drop down flush with the ground when not needed — cost a little more for the convenience and the locking mechanism. At the top end, automatic and anti-terror bollards carry the highest price because of their motors, control systems and impact-tested construction.
2. The material and finish Galvanised and powder-coated steel offers excellent strength at a sensible price and suits most driveways. Stainless steel costs more but resists rust and corrosion far better, making it the smart long-term choice for coastal or exposed locations. Decorative finishes — anthracite grey, matte black, copper gold — may add a small premium over the standard option.
3. How many you need A single bollard is plenty for a standard single-car driveway. Driveways over three metres, or households wanting to protect two cars individually, usually need two or more. Buying a multi-bollard installed package works out cheaper per unit than buying each one separately.
4. Supply-only versus supply-and-fit You can buy any of our bollards on a DIY basis and fit them yourself to save money, or choose our supply-and-fit service and let our experienced installers handle everything — core-drilling, setting, and testing. Professional installation typically adds in the region of £250 to the supply price, depending on the product and your location.
How Much Does Bollard Installation Cost?
If you'd rather not pick up a core drill, our supply-and-fit service is the simplest route. As a guide, professional installation adds around £250 to the cost of the bollard itself, and our fully installed driveway packages start from £429.99 for a single Ramco 100 fitted, rising to roughly £500 for a fully installed Ramco 600.
Installation cost depends on a few practical factors: the surface being drilled into (block paving, concrete or tarmac), the number of bollards, ground conditions, and access at your property. Because we quote the installed price up front on the product page, you know the full cost before you order — there's no day-rate meter running.

Why Are Security Bollards Worth the Cost?
With keyless car theft among the fastest-growing crimes in the UK, a security bollard is a small outlay against the value of the vehicle it protects. A thief who can clone your key fob in seconds still can't drive a car through a steel bollard set in concrete. For a few hundred pounds, a bollard physically stops the car leaving the driveway — which is exactly why insurers and police-backed schemes recommend physical barriers as a deterrent.
Set against the cost of a stolen car, a rise in insurance premiums, or repairing ram-raid damage to a business, bollards are one of the highest-value security investments you can make.
Are Cheap Security Bollards a False Economy?
A very low-priced bollard can be tempting, but thin-walled steel, weak locks and poor galvanising tend to show their limits quickly — through rust, seized mechanisms or barriers that simply don't stand up to force. Our Ramco range is built from heavy-gauge steel with anti-drill, anti-pick locks and finishes designed to last for years outdoors. Spending a little more on a quality bollard usually costs far less over its lifetime than replacing a cheap one.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much do security bollards cost in the UK? Supply-only security bollards start from around £99.99 for a static steel post, with quality telescopic driveway bollards typically £160–£300. Fully installed driveway bollards generally cost between £430 and £660 each, depending on the model and finish.
How much does it cost to have a bollard installed? Professional installation typically adds around £250 to the supply price. Bison Products' fully installed single-bollard driveway packages start from £429.99, with the exact installed price shown up front on each product page.
How much do security bollards cost to install for two cars? A fully installed two-bollard driveway package starts from around £839.98, which works out cheaper per bollard than buying and fitting them individually. It's the usual choice for driveways over three metres or for protecting two vehicles.
Why are security bollards expensive? Price reflects the mechanism (static and fold-down are cheapest; telescopic, automatic and anti-terror cost more), the material (stainless steel costs more than galvanised steel but lasts longer), the locking system, and whether you include professional installation. Quality bollards use heavy-gauge steel and high-security locks that justify the cost over their lifespan.
Are cheap security bollards worth it? Very cheap bollards often use thinner steel, weaker locks and poorer weather protection, so they can rust, seize or fail under force. A well-made bollard generally costs less over its life because it doesn't need replacing.
