Tools Required
• 3/16" hex key (for non‐solar bollard without sleeve)
• 1/4" hex key (for non‐solar bollard with sleeve)
• Surface mount bollard: The surface mount bollard has a 3/8" thick mounting plate
that can accept 4 anchors up to 1/2" thread size. If stud anchors are used, select an
anchor length that allows the stud to extend 1" above the mounting surface. Non‐
corrosive anchoring hardware recommended.
• rebar for footing, if required
• drain tubing to engineered fill, if required
CAUTION! Fixtures and wiring must be installed in accordance with local codes and
ordinances. Do not install lighted bollards within 10 feet of a pool, spa, or fountain.
NOTES:
•
Locate bollard where solar light receives an average of 4 hours of direct sunlight per
day. Avoid locations that would become shaded as the path of the sun changes with
the seasons. Solar powered light is not suitable for installation at latitudes greater
than 50 degrees.
Landscape Forms is not responsible for site preparation, footings, or electrical wiring.
•
•
The solar light should not be activated until the bollard is ready to be installed in a
location where it will receive required exposure to sunlight.
•
Failure to allow for proper drainage may void the standard Landscape Forms
warranty.
ASSEMBLE WITH CARE! Pangard II Polyester Powdercoat is a strong, long‐lasting finish. To
protect this finish during assembly, place unwrapped powdercoated parts on packaging foam or
other non‐marring surface. Do not place or slide powdercoated parts on concrete or other hard or
textured surface – this will damage the finish causing rust to occur. Use touch‐up paint on any
gouges in the finish caused by assembly tools.
