At low speeds in a car park they should be fine but they are designed to delineate walkways and other areas rather than to resist very high impacts from vehicles. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Can I paint them?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;No. The recycled plastic is chemically inert so paint won't adhere.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;What sort of maintenance to I need to perform?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Recycled plastic bollards are completely maintenance-free. Once they are installed you can forget about them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Do you have a minimum order number?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yes, but depending on the model of bollard it can be as low as ten.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Where are your recycled plastic bollards made?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Most are made in Yorkshire and Wolverhampton although some come from Holland.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/269254482081317406-2660895609097403930?l=www.recycledplasticbollards.co.uk' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/269254482081317406/posts/default/2660895609097403930'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/269254482081317406/posts/default/2660895609097403930'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.recycledplasticbollards.co.uk/2010/11/frequently-asked-questions-about.html' title='Frequently asked questions about recycled plastic bollards'/><author><name>Jack</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Eb3L-Krtyeo/TOpdqJqcguI/AAAAAAAABRk/cyFo6xtiqFk/s72-c/web-tesco-bollard-carpark-horizontal.jpg' height='72' width='72'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-269254482081317406.post-3091270245266305831</id><published>2010-11-05T05:46:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2010-11-05T06:00:31.595-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='sustainable'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='street furniture'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Recycled Plastic Bollards'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='british recycled products'/><title type='text'>Welcome</title><content type='html'>Recycled plastic bollards from British Recycled Products, attractive durable and vehicle friendly alternatives to metal or wood at a great price.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_9yiJfbRrpVc/TNP_46-vxiI/AAAAAAAABPs/pXCa7LbBSk0/s1600/webbollards-stacked.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display: block;

These products are elegant, vehicle-friendly, classical in design and very cost effective. They also demonstrate that you can use environmentally sustainable solutions without compromising your choice.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It will also last long after you and I have left this mortal coil....while we cannot claim they will last forever, they certainly will not perish in the way the rather sad looking bollard above has.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For more information on our eco-friendly, durable alternative (with a lower whole life cost than anything else out there), &lt;a href="http://www.recycledplasticbollards.co.uk/"&gt;click here&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/269254482081317406-6404621542090245133?l=www.recycledplasticbollards.co.uk' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/269254482081317406/posts/default/6404621542090245133'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/269254482081317406/posts/default/6404621542090245133'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.recycledplasticbollards.co.uk/2009/06/spot-difference.html' title='Spot the Difference'/><author><name>Stephen</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_9yiJfbRrpVc/SjZl4dNxHtI/AAAAAAAAAMA/N9R3SXG3TwI/s72-c/huddersfield-bollard.jpg' height='72' width='72'/></entry></feed>
