Installing automatic rising bollards on a private driveway. 

I don’t have a driveway, don’t even own a house, yet here I am watching a bollard install vid!

I’m all for bollards but the RU-vid algorithm must’ve concluded I’m hitting rock bottom by proposing this video.

High quality workmanship. Excellent job. What's up with all the negative comments?

Incredibly impressed by the neatness of the work, 👍👍

My mate had these fitted on his drive and some wannabe gangsters tried to steal his car by driving onto his driveway and when they tried to drive away the bollards stopped them. They were caught literally with their pants down running down the road minus one car. The funniest CCTV I've watched in a long time. The police and the courts found it very amusing too. 🤣👍

Anyone else notice that two Minis or Fiat 500s could drive on either side of the right side bollard... at the same time???

The main thing to understand is that virtually any security system can be defeated given the willpower and the time. So the point of a security system is not necessarily to defeat the criminal it's just to put them off. Yeah, you can get past these bollards but why bother when the house next door is an easier and quicker challenge.

I'm literally looking at putting in 6 or 8 six foot bollards in my driveway behind my steel gate. This was very informative. Thank you.

RU-vid algorithm: "he will literally watch anything"

The space on both the sides maked it look like a divider instead of bollard

Great job :: seems very professional

What everyone has failed to realize about this and almost all other non-keyed entry/exit devices is the presence of the ground loop. This loop detects metal. A wire running to the controller is monitored for changes. You can see this loop being installed a few feet inside the driveway. Funny part is the only thing one needs to defeat such an exit loop is a metal no-parking sign, throw it low to slide it across the known loop without setting one foot on the property. Bollard, retract. Same thing works on most non-keyed security gates. If your gate or bollard relies only on the presence of a vehicle to open it... a decent pieces of sheet steel or aluminum will defeat it in 2 seconds. Always add a keypad to exit, AND add the ground loop so that a vehicle must be present with a proper keypad entry to activate the gate or bollard. Now, without knowing the details on this install, it MIGHT be possible to shutdown that loop detection. All that said, it’s a badass bollard install. Please tell me that loop is a proximity safety... but it’s way too far really for that purpose. Potentially a wireless receiver/transmitter... which is essentially taking the place of a keypad.

My mate called me a bollard and now I'm here.

I'd sit there with my remote and raise the bollard right under the trespassers vehicle . LOL!

I think I would test the bollard before cementing it into the ground.

Nice work.

It looks like enough room beside it a I could probably get my F150 through

bollard could have done with a steel rod extend from either side to give better coverage of drive way 🕵️👍

Not one, but 3 would look nice. Paint them to look like the brick on each side.

A superb security barrier, but that house probably needed two of them bollards. Instead of the one….especially for that mini size car I noticed at the house you were working on.

If it stays up for more than 4 hours consult a dr.

As a first generation Canadian of English parents I've never understood the U.K. fascination with front garden fences and driveway gates. These bollards of course eliminate the need for 2 gates. Picture this...you arrive home from work, park on the street get out and open the gate. Get back in car and park in driveway. Get out and close gate. Do the same in reverse order to go to work in the morning. Madness I tell you.

Beautiful work but it begs the question, why didn’t the home owner cough up more for 2 so it provided better security?

"Is your driveway excited to see me or did you install an automatic rising bollard?"

Homeowners should invest in some gates

Imagine somebody sitting on that when it drops 😂😂😂

Sorry to disappoint you but I can definitely get my push bike through the gap

Never saw these before. So, I’m trying to figure out if they’re trying to keep vehicles “out” or trying to keep vehicles “in” (prevent from stealing) ?

i need this for those people who use my driveway to make turns

But the homeowner will have the remote on the SUV`s key ring, so they break in a grab your keys with the remote to lower the bollards.

That’s great and everything but those cars can fit through the opening on each side!

Few years that’ll rust out here in FL

What!, only one bollard for this driveway.😮

Hit like if you don't know how you got here.

that driveway needs 3 of those....

Wouldn't you want to test it before installing? What if the unit is faulty?

Water intrusion along the outside diameter when it rains? ....how is repair done? ; it seems the unit is encased in concrete? Do you check for height of local water table and also frost-depth?....so many questions not addressed.

Ehh?? You can still get a car out of that gap! Haha Great install tho! 👍🏽

excellent

I'm curious, if this is to prevent people for stealing cars (most likely by using signal boosters), then couldn't they also catch the signal for the bollard and exploit that too?

Surely gates would be better and cheaper?

Perfect for protecting your car from bailiffs.

Wouldn't an automatic gate be just as cheap or cheaper and would do a much better job? That stops larger vehicles and NOTHING else

Motorcycle: hold my beer

I noticed the Ethernet cable, are these IP controlled?

That's great 10k for bollard install whilwnthe driveway is still unpaved. Brilliant home improvement choice 🤣🤣🤣

Put some thick wood on the little wall each side drive up and over and away.

Sweet Job

Manuel override in the event of power failure??

Wait. Sharpen the end and give me an explosive rise and we've got a deal.

I would love to be able to drive around all day with a van that had been signwritten, "Bollards!".

So , the day before you go and cut the wires. Then you come and use their driveway as a turn around. Im not really sure I see why you want them. Can you please describe a situation that they would be used in ❓❓

I ain’t no expert but I think u can drive past that post 😂

It tilts to the right

I assume this has a life span because of water ingress. But deally wouldn't it be best with some type of drainage?

What happens when there is a power outage and you need to drive?

Does the mechanism fill with rainwater?

Imagine impaling a police car on these when they come to your crib to harass you? LOLZ

That's silly, I can still walk around it🤪

I will be fitting 2 of those. So when i buy a S3 and M3 i can sleep at night. 2 front doors have been upgraded so has locks. Also old school locks custom fitted from inside with a bar :) its to slow the breaking into house to give me a chance to slash my sword threw the letter box.

Only one looks sorta pointless, don't you think?

I live in the US and I am not sure what the purpose of the Bullard is. To stop other people from turning around in your drive way?

I hope it should not prevent someone stealing you bike...

Can this be fitted on a cobble stone print concrete drive and at what sort of price 50ft diveway Thanks

Good luck repairing; when the bum with a steel bumper is upset when he can not use the driveway to turn his truck around!

Uh…that little brick wall is no deterrent for a car thief. Those are going to be just pretty decorative posts because thieves can still get around them if they want to. The bollards need to block all ability to get the car out of the yard…these don’t do that.

Surely ‘ I would have been cheaper to install a remote controlled electric gate /s.

Great video but my question is, what's so bad you feel the need to install these?

They can easily get around that with a small car lol

Wonderful except the idiots park across your driveway & not in it lol

Excellent work ! Mayor Fuglycool

Need to change tire or do an oil change drive on the side of it jack ur car up. Driveway jack lol.

Why the installation wasn't carried out after the brick sets is beyond me..far less work and far neater job 🤔

If you have to do this you have serious problem with your neighbors..lol

I can assure these ARE NOT military government grade

Remote gates way better

My mind is blown that a Karen hasnt jumped out from the bushes and lost her mind over you altering your own property. Did you cut that part out or something?

All for a 500c

Literally easiest thing to bypass ever

All this so someone doesn’t use your driveway to turn around?

Bizzare video. A locked gate would be far more effective and cheaper. Nice workmanship though.

Release the hounds

Bollard doesn't have a drainage?

That wouldn’t stand a chance.

You'd think on a house like this they'd fit electric gates... stingey buggers!

Well fancy smancy. A rolling gate not good enough for you. 😎

I need those at my place ,,,, call me

簡陋愚昧 望落反胃

Why do people install these things in Britain to "protect a SUV" like bruh is some random tow truck gonna come and take it away randomly?

How stupid! Some people with more money than common sense.

This was totally useless. I can't believe these idiots ripped these people off like that. There needed to be at least two per driveway. Shit I could drive my 4x4 one ton truck through the sides of it.

I'd rather have SPIKES for illegal entry into the driveway; more costly to the dumb drivers.
