LAYOUT AND MOUNTING
BOLLARD LAYOUT

Using a chalk line, or equivalent method, lay out the bollard arrangement. Bollard’s positions should be parallel and
square with each other.

Verify the “on centers” measurement to accommodate the bollard width and clearance for barrier operation prior to
setting anchors or drilling for conduit.
After going over the details of the installation with the architect or designer and you have determined planned
spacing and orientation of the system, you may have some questions regarding how to lay out the array of bollards
with the most accuracy in regard to alignment.
Here are two alignment tips which may be helpful:
Tip 1- Determining a “Right Angle” for alignment.

Without getting into a lot of math, there is a simple way to build a Right-Angle
Triangle by using sides of 3', 4' and 5'.

This method is based upon a geometric Theorem [a² + b² = c²]. Using this you
can calculate the length of the long side (C) of any right-angle triangle based
upon the known length of the other two sides.
Use this device to verify alignment by referencing a chalk line on the
floor.
Tip 2 - Alignment Check

Once you have established a known right-angle to the initial chalk-line, you will
want to verify that each bollard is aligned to the adjacent bollard.

You may do this by choosing a point on each end of a bollard, (for instance the
center of a mounting hole or a corner of a pedestal), you can measure in an “X”
pattern from one point to it’s opposite in the “X”.

When the bollards are the correct distance apart and both lengths of the “X” are
equal, the bollards are in alignment.
VERTICAL ALIGNMENT

Check level of the bollards vertically using a plumb or spirit level, use shims to make final
adjustments.
LEVEL

Level the bollards horizontally using a straight edge and/or a spirit level that will span two or three bollards at once.
ANCHORS

Use appropriate anchors for the mounting surface. Tighten securely to prevent any movement of the bollard.

Some custom models may have special mounting requirements. Additional information will have been provided when
necessary.
