Residential Bollards

Many people think of bollards as something only used in commercial or public spaces – but more and more UK homeowners are installing them to improve security, safety, and control over their own property.

​

In today’s world, residential bollards are an increasingly common feature in driveways, private roads, and shared entrances, thanks to their practicality, strength, and ability to deter opportunistic crime.

​

Strong, Effective Security

Driveway theft - particularly of high-value vehicles - is on the rise and thieves can act in seconds. A bollard provides a solid, physical barrier that makes driving away impossible without permission.

Hormann’s residential bollards are made from high-quality steel and are designed to resist forceful impacts, giving you an extra layer of defence alongside other home security measures such as alarms and CCTV.

​

They’re especially effective for:

• Protecting high-value cars, motorhomes, or caravans.

• Securing shared driveways from unauthorised use.

• Preventing access to private garages or side entrances.

​

Control Who Comes and Goes

With fixed or removable bollards, you decide who can drive onto your property. Automatic options make it easy to lower the bollard for your own vehicle and raise it again once you’ve parked.

​

Popular choices for homeowners include:

• Automatic Bollards – Operated via remote, keypad, smartphone app, or number plate recognition. Ideal for daily use without any manual lifting.

• Semi-Automatic Bollards – Lowered manually but rise automatically with a gas spring for ease.

• Removable Bollards – Perfect for occasional access; can be unlocked and removed entirely.

• Fixed Bollards – Permanent, immovable protection for areas you never want accessed by vehicle.

​​

Visible Deterrence

A well-placed bollard is often enough to deter opportunistic thieves or prevent unwanted parking. Some models feature Emergency Fast Operation, raising in seconds for instant security.

​

Style Without Compromise

Hormann bollards come in sleek, modern designs and a variety of finishes, blending naturally into your driveway or garden layout. Fixed, automatic and removable types share the same styling for a consistent look.

​

Built to Last

Made from high quality, weather-resistant materials, Hormann bollards are built for UK conditions. Hydraulic and electromechanical systems are tested for thousands of cycles, while fixed models require virtually no maintenance.
