This versatile precast concrete solution is quickly becoming a preferred choice among groundkeepers for its wide-ranging benefits in parks, public spaces, golf courses, leisure facilities, and urban environments.

Paul Cartwright, Business Development Director at Elite, explains how the Minion-bollard® supports groundkeepers in their daily work while also helping businesses remain compliant and competitive. With benefits for all stakeholders, including facility visitors, the Minion-bollard® is proving to be a game-changer in outdoor space management.

The Key Benefits of Minion-Bollards® for Groundkeepers

Access

The Minion-bollard® can be used as either a permanent or semi-permanent fixture. It can be removed when necessary to clear space for access or to maintain parklands, making it particularly useful for routine maintenance. This flexibility allows groundkeepers to manage green spaces effectively without permanent obstacles.

Versatility

As a freestanding bollard, the Minion requires no additional anchoring. This means it can be easily repositioned as needed for events, seasonal changes, or specific land usage requirements. Its adaptability makes it an essential tool for dynamic public spaces.

Safety

Minion-bollards® guide pedestrians away from roads and car parks, reducing the risk of accidents and injuries. Their distinctive shape ensures high visibility while also offering security. This enhances safety for both visitors and maintenance staff.

Low Maintenance

Constructed from high-quality concrete, Minion-bollards® are built for long-term performance with minimal upkeep. Their resistance to weathering and non-porous surfaces make them less prone to staining and damage, reducing the maintenance workload for groundkeeping teams.

Flexible Vehicle Access

For special events or maintenance work, Minion-bollards® can be quickly removed, allowing vehicle access when needed. This is particularly beneficial for event setups or for bringing in groundskeeping equipment.

Protection

Minion-bollards® act as an effective barrier against unauthorised vehicles, preventing damage to green spaces and event areas. They provide both temporary and permanent edge protection without compromising the aesthetic appeal of a location.

Cost-Effective Solution

Designed for maximum flexibility, Minion-bollards® can be used individually or linked together using chains. They can also hold signage, eliminating the need for separate products for different applications and reducing overall costs.

Paul Cartwright emphasises that by incorporating Minion-bollards®, groundkeepers can effectively manage public spaces while ensuring safety, accessibility, and visual appeal. Most importantly, these innovative bollards simplify daily operations, making them an invaluable asset for maintenance teams.

With a perfect balance of functionality, security, durability, and aesthetics, it’s no surprise that the Minion-bollard® is fast becoming a groundkeeper’s best friend.
