Considerations when ordering stainless steel bollard covers

304 or 316 Stainless Steel

Stainless steel is made in two types: 304 and 316. If you live near saltwater or where salt is used in the winter, we strongly recommend 316 stainless steel. It is made with molybdenum, which changes it to Marine Grade Stainless. It resists corrosion much better than 304. If you are installing your bollard underground, which is the case with most removable bollards and buried bollards, we strongly recommend considering type 316. The elements and moisture underground can often lead to quicker corrosion.

If no salt is present and you are using a plate bollard or bollard cover, you may use 304. It is less expensive.

PLEASE NOTE: EVEN TYPE 316 WILL RUST IF SALT IS PRESENT

We recommend applying this product on installation and periodically when rust appears. Brush on; wait 15 minutes; hose off. 1 gallon cleans 250sf, or about 40 8" x 36" bollards.

Sizing

Most bollards being covered are made of steel pipe in nominal ANSI sizes of 4", 6", 8" or 10" which we cover with the next even size up. So a 4" is covered by a 6" for example.

This picture shows the sizes of 6", 8", 10" and 12" we normally use. If you need something different, we can make them in other sizes.

Brushed or Mirror Finish

The finish on stainless steel bollards is almost always a #4 brush finish. After the bollard cover is made, it is polished. A brush finish can be made fairly quickly, while a mirrored finish takes much longer. Consequently, it costs much more. Brushed also looks better longer. We recommend the #4 brush finish as shown here.

Flat, Dome or Slanted Top

There are three top styles offered. Flat top bollards invite sitting, birds (and their gifts), and empty bottles. We recommend either a dome or 30°or 45° slant top instead, as they discourage other uses.

Installation

To install, you slide the bollard cover over your steel bollard. Our covers are attached to the bollard by 4 set screws at the bottom. The set screws are about 1" long if you cover a regular steel pipe with the next even size up. We offer an optional spacer ring that is welded to the inside of the cover near the top to help close the gap between the underlying bollard and the cover. The spacer ring provides extra stability in the event the cover is knocked after installation.
