Re: Should I do it?

Looking good, Carol, but shouldn’t you replace the bollard in its hole when going out, rather than store in the garage? Otherwise it defeats the object of installing it.

Good idea.

Re: Should I do it?

Personally, I believe ,that there is a possibility, of the hole ,where the bollard sits, being filled in ,either with cement or something else, that’s if she takes it out and stores it in the garage, I do hope not.

Not sure about the placement of the bollard, Carol. From the photo it looks as though 'he' still has plenty of reversing room - but then it doesn't show the end of your drive. I do hope there will not be any adverse reactions!

Yes, I was thinking that it would have been better placed near the end of your drive, Carol.

I'm sure you'd find it easier to drive into one of your neighbours' drives, get out and remove the bollard, then back into your own drive.

Oh... hang on...

I agree Percy.

They have to be easily visible, especially when painted black..

Let's hope there's no more trouble Carol.

Re: Should I do it?

Carol, It was only £150 to make and install it? I think you got a bargain there!

I bet the air is blue over the road at Mr Bullyman’s house!

Re: Should I do it?

Thanks for the remarks everybody.

Yes you're right. I will put it back in it's place after I've reversed out or as you say the hole could be filled with 'something' - Mind you, I've already had a chat to the police about this so they'll know whose house to go to if it gets vandalised!!

RE: The yellow reflective tape. What's wrong with the 2 strips of reflective tape already on it?

Thanks again for the sensible intelligent replies/questions/advice and to the would be trolls - I don't find you amusing. funny or annoying - just pathetic...

Nothing wrong with the bollard,Carol,it’s fine, if he vandalises it,you won’t have a leg to stand on,unless it’s recorded, he could pay someone to vandalise it.
