Bollards can be used in decorative applications to create and define perimeters that are solely visual. Installation methods that fall under the decorative category are generally employed when the intended function of the bollard is architectural or landscape highlighting. Because security and anti-ram posts are not used in decorative applications, the bollard will offer little impact resistance. Decorative installations are quick and easy processes in which the bollard is applied simply with a threaded rod and an anchor casting or concrete anchor.
Post Covers - Metal Decorative
Bollard covers by Reliance Foundry can be used in security applications to enhance anti-ram and bumper posts. When employing security installation methods, it is important to note that the bollard cover itself will not play a role in the level of impact resistance provided. In security applications, the function of the bollard cover is strictly ornamental. Installing bollards in security applications is an uncomplicated process in which bollards are affixed with a threaded rod and in some instances a concrete anchor or anchor casting.
Post Covers - Stainless Steel
Stainless steel post covers by Reliance foundry add aesthetic enhancement to security posts. Although they do not function as security devices on their own, they add ornamentation to anti-ram and security posts. Over new or existing security posts, stainless steel post covers can be installed easily with a variety of methods.

With proprietary installation methods by Reliance foundry, bollards can be installed to allow for temporary removability. The removable installation processes are designed for select bollards and may require specialized mounting systems. Removable installations are ideal for sites where access needs fluctuate. It is important to note, however, that when installed in this method, the bollard will offer little impact resistance. Removability can be accomplished with a wide variety of bollards and installation methods.
Retractable or collapsible bollards are installed in applications in which access requirements may change. Retractable installations are a labour-intensive process in which a hole to hold the bollard’s receiver must be bored.
Flexible bollards are generally installed in traffic applications where there is an expectation that they may be struck by errant vehicles. Flexible bollards provide no impact resistance and act solely as visual deterrents and guides. Flexible bollards can be installed easily with embedded or surface mounting systems.
