Designed to accept three horizontal rails, the Weaver post supports a clean, linear aesthetic that works well across both contemporary and traditional settings. It is frequently used as part of coordinated post and rail bollards schemes where continuity and consistency are critical.
Key characteristics include:
• Designed to take 3 no. 42.4mm diameter rails
• Slimline profile for minimal visual intrusion
• Compatible with galvanised or stainless steel rails
• Supplied as a base plate bollard for surface mounting
This makes it an effective 3 rail bollard solution for high-footfall areas.
The post is manufactured from ductile iron, offering superior strength and flexibility compared to traditional cast iron while retaining a similar visual quality. This ensures resilience in exposed environments and reduces the risk of brittle failure under impact.
Material benefits include:
• High strength ductile iron construction
• Improved resistance to cracking and deformation
• Suitable for long-term outdoor installation
• Consistent finish across multiple units
As with Broxap’s wider range of cast iron bollards, the Weaver prioritises durability and low maintenance.
This base plate bollard is designed for surface mounting, making it suitable for locations where excavation is restricted or where services may be present below ground level. Fixing to a prepared concrete foundation allows for efficient installation and accurate alignment across longer rail runs.
Typical installation contexts include:
• Paved public spaces and transport interchanges
• Retail frontages and forecourts
• Waterside walkways and promenades
• Pedestrian routes requiring subtle segregation
Surface mounted bollards are often specified to minimise disruption during installation works.
The Weaver bollard is available to accommodate galvanised or stainless steel rails, allowing specifiers to select the most appropriate solution for the environment. For sites exposed to harsher conditions, such as coastal or riverside locations, enhanced protection can be provided.
Available options include:
• Galvanised rail compatibility as standard
• Stainless steel rails for increased corrosion resistance
• Waterside paint specification for marine or saltwater environments (POA)
This flexibility makes the product suitable for challenging locations where standard finishes may not be sufficient.
The Weaver ductile iron bollard is commonly used in schemes where controlled access and visual order are required without resorting to heavy barriers.
Typical uses include:
• Town and city centre public realm projects
• Transport hubs and station approaches
• Waterfront developments and promenades
• Retail parks and mixed-use developments
It is often specified alongside complementary street furniture such as handrails, seating, or litter bins to create a coordinated streetscape.
The Weaver 3 rail ductile iron bollard provides a balanced solution for specifiers seeking strength, adaptability, and a refined appearance. With surface mounted installation, flexible rail options, and enhanced corrosion protection where required, it is well suited to a wide range of public realm environments.
