Press once, and the drive is yours again.
RiseGuard is an electric rising bollard — a 600mm stainless post that sits flush with your drive until the handset brings it up. It locks itself, takes no key, and goes back down the same way. Delivered UK-wide from West Yorkshire.
- HEIGHT ABOVE GROUND600mm
- DIAMETER110mm
- WEIGHT15kg
AND WHAT IT DOES
Solid stainless steel in a polished silver finish. It locks itself as it reaches the top, so there is no key to lose and nothing to padlock.
The ring below the cap lights from the same handset, which is worth having on a dark drive in February.

Scroll to raise it
Solid stainless, not a sleeve over a plastic core.
The post stands 600mm clear of the ground, measures 110mm across and weighs 15 kilograms. That weight is rather the point: it is what a vehicle meets when somebody tries the drive anyway.
The finish is polished silver, which holds its look through British weather and resists rust. It reads as deliberate rather than defensive — the difference between a drive that looks looked-after and one that looks like a building site.
It screws down on an adjustable fitting. That adjustment earns its keep on an older drive, where the fall of the surface is rarely as level as it looks from the kerb.

Three buttons. One press each.
Nothing needs holding down. Press up and the post rises until it locks. Press down and it goes back flush with the drive.
The third button does two jobs. While the post is moving it stops it wherever it has got to and holds it there. When the post is already still, that same button switches the light ring on and off.
Two remotes come with every control box, so one can live in the car and one by the door. Try it on the handset here.
Raised and locked.
How many posts does your entrance take?
A single car width takes one post, set in the middle of the opening. Two cars abreast takes two. A gated entrance usually wants three, spaced to leave a clear gap at either side.
It is the same post every time. What changes is how many, and how far apart they stand.
Posts are priced each, and the figure comes down as you add them. Ring with the width of your opening and the surface it is laid on, and you will get a delivered price for the whole entrance — posts and box together — the same day.
| Quantity | Each |
|---|---|
| One bollardOne car wide | £895 |
| Two bollardsTwo abreast | £865 |
| Three bollardsA gated entrance | £835 |
| Four or moreA forecourt, or a run of bays | £795 |
| Control boxOne runs up to four posts, two remotes included | £200 |
One box runs four posts.
The control box is the weatherproof stainless unit that takes the signal from the handset and drives the posts. It is £200 and bought separately.
One box runs up to four bollards on the same entrance, and two remotes come with it. That sharing is why a four-post forecourt does not cost four times what a single drive does.
If you add posts later they can run from the same box, as long as the total stays within four.
The box is fixed near the entrance and wired to the posts.
Fitted, and back in the drive.
These are posts already in the ground, on ordinary drives. A single post holds a one-car opening; a wider entrance gets a pair, set to leave room on both sides.
