Bollards for Temporary Events & Festivals

Bollards are an essential part of any temporary event or festival. They provide a secure boundary to keep pedestrians, guests, and attendees safe while ensuring maximum security. Macs Bollards is dedicated to offering superior and robust bollards for temporary events and festivals that will help create a safe and secure environment for all involved. 

Our bollards are easy to install, extremely durable, and can be used for both indoor and outdoor applications. With our wide range of products, you can be sure that your event or festival will have the right bollard solution for your needs. 

Why Use Bollards for Your Festival or Temporary Event?

Perimeter Access Control With Bollards

Installing bollards along event fences and boundaries provides important access control against unauthorised vehicle ingress from adjoining roads or properties. This shields the site while avoiding overt barricades.

Attendees can still enter through designated gates. Bollards subtly convey security while allowing open access.

Queue Line Barriers for Attendee Safety

Queue Line Barriers are an essential element to protect attendees in crowded events. Using our range of bollards, you can create demarcation lines or barriers to keep large groups of people separated and orderly. 

This is especially important during busy times when attendees need to queue for entry or services such as food and beverage vendors. Our bollards also allow for the easy control of large crowds in public areas, providing a safe and secure solution for your guests.

Securing Backstage & Service Vehicle Areas

Bollards are also placed at strategic points to safeguard backstage areas and service vehicle entrances. When installed with an automatic control system, these bollards stop unauthorised personnel or vehicles from entering critical areas.

Whether you’re looking to protect performers and artists, or simply make the operation of your event a little simpler, bollards can be a great way of keeping essential spaces clear of unwanted vehicles and attendees. 

Flexible Bollard Options For Events On The Move

Temporary events require flexible bollard solutions that can be installed, moved and removed with ease. Our mobile bollards have collapsible bases ideal for multi-day festivals spanning different zones. We also offer wheeled portable bollards that can be repositioned quickly.

Rigorously Tested Bollards Withstand Extreme Threats

To effectively safeguard against vehicle threats, Macs Bollards offers a comprehensive range of high-security and rigorously tested HVM (Hostile Vehicle Mitigation) bollard models. These cutting-edge bollards have been specifically engineered to withstand heavy impacts of up to 7.5 tonnes and provide unmatched protection in high-speed scenarios. 

With their formidable strength, Macs Bollards’ HVM solutions offer robust security measures without compromising on aesthetics, making them ideal for a wide range of applications including events where subtle design elements are desired.

Strategic Placement For Comprehensive Event Protection

The strategic placement of bollards ensures comprehensive security coverage throughout event sites. It is advisable to commence installation along outer perimeters, queue lines, and parking areas to establish clear boundaries. Additionally, incorporating retractable bollards around backstage and service areas enhances security measures. 

Within the event premises, effective separation of traffic from pedestrians can be achieved by deploying barriers along roads and walkways. When carefully implemented, bollards provide robust protection for both exterior and interior event zones.

Integrate Bollards into Your Wider Event Security

For outcomes, it is recommended to integrate new bollard systems effectively with other security measures such as CCTV, access control, and security personnel. Ensure coordinated placement aligned with sightlines and established traffic patterns for maximum effectiveness.

To maintain a seamless ambiance, consider utilising subtle signage and lighting to minimise disruption. Additionally, incorporate bollard operation into emergency plans to enhance overall preparedness.
