Advantages of bollards include:
- Secure mooring: Bollards provide a reliable and secure method of mooring boats. Their solid construction and stability ensure that the boat remains securely moored, even in bad weather conditions or strong water currents.
- Protects the boat’s finish: By eliminating the need to tie mooring lines directly to the boat’s hull, bollards help prevent damage to the boat’s finish. This is especially important for boats made of fragile materials such as fibreglass.
- Easy to use: Bollards are easy to use, allowing boat owners to quickly and conveniently moor and undock their boats. This saves time and makes the process more efficient.
There are different types of bollards for different needs and environments:
- Jetty bollards: These bollards are attached to jetties and docks and are used to moor boats along quaysides. They can be simple posts or more advanced systems with multiple attachment points.
- Floating bollards: Floating bollards float on the water and are used in places where there are no quays available. They are often used in natural harbours or at anchorages. Unfortunately, we do not carry these in our range, but hopefully in the future.
- Cross bollards: These bollards are mounted on jetties or docks and are specifically designed to withstand heavy loads, such as those from larger ships or strong currents.
No matter the type of bollard chosen, their reliability and convenience are essential for maintaining safety and order in harbours and marinas.
