### Ultimate Guide to Manually Retractable Bollard Installation.

#### What is a manually retractable bollard?

A manually retractable bollard is a sturdy post that can be lowered into the ground to allow vehicle access or raised to block off an area. It is often used in parking lots, sidewalks, and other areas where temporary or controlled access is needed.

#### How to install a manually retractable bollard?

1. **Determine the location**: First, decide where you want to install the bollard. Ensure it is a suitable location that will not interfere with any underground utilities or structures.

2. **Prepare the site**: Dig a hole that is deep enough to accommodate the bollard and its housing unit. Make sure the hole is wide enough to allow for easy installation.

3. **Set the foundation**: Fill the bottom of the hole with a layer of sand or gravel to provide a stable base for the bollard. Use a level to ensure the foundation is even.

4. **Install the bollard**: Place the bollard into the housing unit and position it in the center of the hole. Use a level to ensure it is straight and upright.

5. **Secure the bollard**: Fill the hole around the bollard with concrete, making sure to keep it level. Allow the concrete to cure according to the manufacturer's instructions.

6. **Test the bollard**: Once the concrete has dried, test the bollard to ensure it can be raised and lowered smoothly. Make any necessary adjustments before using it regularly.
