S TEP 1 Determine ground level: Measure the bollard from
the top to determine the ground level. Mark the bollard
at the point that corresponds to the above ground height
of your model. For example, if you ordered a BOLPP-
24-5.5, measure 24 inches from the top. Measure the
below ground portion (~10in.) as well. Described
measurements are depicted in FIG. 1 at right.

Step 2 Dig a hole for the below ground portion:
Remove a 20inx20inx20in cube (~51cm x 51cm x
51cm) of dirt to contain the concrete that will fix
the bollard in position. [Cube shown in FIG. 2].
Step 3 Partially fill hole and set bollard: Pour 3,000psi
compression rated concrete into the hole, until the top of
the concrete is a few inches from the top of the hole.
Press the bollard into the concrete. Make sure that the
mark you made on the bollard to indicate ground level
aligns with the top of the hole. Fill the hole the rest of
the way, so that the top of the concrete matches the
ground level mark on the bollard.
