Standard and Bespoke Stakes and Bollards
Stakes and bollards are a vital part of many outdoor spaces. They can be used to separate private and public spaces, signify pedestrian-only areas, protect verges and much more. We can also add flat or 4-way weathered tops to square bollards, as well as reflective strips to ensure they are visible in high-traffic areas.
At EcoChoice, we can deliver both standard and bespoke stakes and bollards directly to your project site. Whether you are looking for round bollards in common sizes or square stakes built to custom measurements, our team will find what you are seeking. Our range also includes peeled or cundy posts and stakes. These can then be machine rounded for a more sophisticated look.
Premium Hardwood Timber
It is crucial that stakes and bollards are crafted from timber which is durable enough for outside use, and more specifically, for direct ground contact (also known as hazard class 4). At EcoChoice, we recommend tropical or temperate hardwoods which are known for their strength and rot resistance, such as:
Each of these species is tough and hard-wearing, with little maintenance required to keep them standing year after year.
Sustainable Timber Sourcing
At EcoChoice, we specialise in sourcing FSC-certified timber which is harvested from responsibly managed forests. There is no over-harvesting or depletion of a native species, with the landscape left to replenish naturally to ensure the forest stands for generations to come. Local habitats are protected, ecosystems are supported and local communities are respected.
When you work with EcoChoice to source timber for your stakes and bollards, you are guaranteeing sustainable practices for the benefit of our planet.
Highly Durable Treated Timber
Though some species of timber can last for many years without treatment, we also offer preservative-treated options for your stakes and bollards to extend their lifespan. This includes pressure treatments, such as tanalith impregnation, or even OrganoWood, in which the timber is treated with eco silica instead of harsh chemicals to create a hardier wood for your outdoor construction.
Why Choose Timber?
Timber is a common material used for stakes and bollards. Partly this is because of timber’s natural strength and durability. But it is also a more aesthetically pleasing option than other choices, such as cement or metal which are harder to transport and handle on site. Timber also blends seamlessly with the natural landscape, creating a gentler look than manmade materials and appearing more in keeping with any surroundings.

Stakes related insights
Although timber is a popular meterial in the UK for making canal fenders, lock gates and sea defences, we believe there is still plenty more room for timber to be used on waterways, helping to protect banks and the surrounding land from flooding in an environmentally friendly way. We outline how in this article.
