Built to your drawing, not ours

Send us the council drawing or the spec from the tender and we build to it: pyramid, dome, peak, chamfer or splay tops, single or double collars, chain, pipe or cable holes, impact holes, red or white delineators, chamfered or pencil-rounded edges, and painting if you want it.

Every bollard is machined in our own workshop in Kilsyth, in Melbourne's east, the way we have done it since 1996. Repeat orders match the first one, because the same people cut them on the same machines.

Sizes run from 100 x 100 mm up to 200 x 200mm, in lengths from 1.2 to 3.0 metres, sawn or dressed.

Chamfer
Impact protection holes are for bollards installed along roadsides to comply with Vic Roads and lessen the force of a vehicle collision. Delineators are recessed into Bollards. (Red for approach, White for departure).
‍Decorative & Safety Edging:  chamfered edges serve a dual purpose: enhancing the aesthetic while removing sharp corners and splinters for a safer, user-friendly finish.

Why councils specify White Cypress Pine

It lasts. White Cypress is rated Durability Class 1 above ground, over 40 years, and Class 2 in the ground. It is F7 structurally rated, so it takes knocks without splitting.

It is chemical-free. No CCA, no other treatment. Nothing leaches into a playground, a creek reserve or a dog park, and at end of life the timber can be mulched or burnt like any untreated wood.

It is ready the day it arrives. Cypress needs no weathering, so your crew can paint it in council colours straight away, or leave it to silver off naturally.

It is Australian. Native Australian White Cypress, machined in Victoria.

Fixing, removable and collapsible options

  • Concreted in. The standard install. We recommend a non-hazardous creosote-based paint such as Bondall or Diggers Eco on the buried section for the longest life.
  • Removable. Galvanised in-ground sleeves in three sizes to suit 115 mm to 200 mm bollards, so a bollard lifts out for maintenance access and drops back in.
  • Collapsible. Bolt-down galvanised bases in 140 mm and 190 mm for emergency and service vehicle access.
  • School crossing posts. VicRoads-compliant timber crossing posts in 1.8 and 2.4 metre lengths.

Common questions about timber bollards

Do you make bollards to council specification?
Yes. We build to any council or client drawing: pyramid, dome, peak, chamfer or splay tops, collars, chain, pipe or cable holes, impact holes and delineators. Send us the spec and we will quote it.

Can you match bollards already installed?
Usually, yes. A photo and the size of an existing bollard is enough for us to make more that match, so a replacement run looks like the original.

Are the bollards treated?
No. White Cypress is naturally durable, so there is no CCA or any other chemical treatment. That matters around playgrounds, waterways and anywhere the timber is handled.

Can you supply removable or collapsible bollards?
Yes. Galvanised in-ground sleeves make a bollard removable, and bolt-down collapsible bases suit service and emergency vehicle access.

Do you accept purchase orders and offer account terms?
Yes. Send a purchase order or work order with the spec and quantity. Account terms are available for councils and regular contractors.

What do timber bollards cost?
From $24.50 each including GST for a B6 chamfer-top 100 x 100 x 1200 mm cypress bollard. Larger sizes, extras and delivery are priced live in our calculator.

The team—comprises founder John Barling, his sons Andrew and Michael, daughter Danielle and trusted friend Gerry—bringing 96 years of combined experience to every project. This legacy of expertise ensures that your Post & Rail Fencing is meticulously handcrafted.

Why use White Cypress Pine?

✔ Naturally Termite Resistant: Contains natural oils that resist white Termites.
✔ Class 2 In-Ground & class 1 above-ground Durability: Life expectancies of 15–25 years in-ground and 40+ years above ground.
✔ Low Shrinkage Rate: A very low 2.6% shrinkage rate means minimal warping.
✔ F7 Structural Rated: A moderately hard softwood (Janka rating ~6.4 kN)
✔ Sustainably Sourced: Forest-certified and affordable Australian timber.

Are You Getting What You Paid For?

Not all cypress is the same — and it's worth knowing the difference before it goes in the ground.
Cypress Macrocarpa
‍
✘ Not native to Australia — originally from California, commonly grown here as farm windbreaks rather than purpose-grown for structural use
✘ Class 3 durability: rated for 5–15 years
✘ Higher rot risk once buried
✘ Best suited to above-ground use
✘ Needs time to weather before painting
Australian White Cypress
✔ Native Australian species, naturally suited to our conditions
✔ Sustainably harvested from managed Australian forests
✔ Class 2 in-ground (15–25 yrs), Class 1 above-ground (40+ yrs)
✔ Naturally rot- and termite-resistant — no chemicals needed
✔ Built for both in-ground and above-ground use
✔ Ready to paint or stain from day one

100% Chemical Free & End-of-Life Safe

White Cypress Pine is a naturally durable timber, rated Class 1 above ground and Class 2 in-ground, and already contains the natural resins that protect it from fungi, insects and decay. That makes it a genuinely chemical-free choice: no CCA, no ACQ, no treatment at all. It also means a clean end of life. Under EPA Victoria's rules only untreated timber may be mulched or spread on land; treated timber cannot be burned, and CCA-treated timber is prescribed waste for a licensed landfill. When a cypress post or bollard is finally replaced, it can be chipped and go back into a garden bed.

To help it last a lifetime, we recommend adding a non-hazardous protective paint, such as Bondall or Diggers Eco, to the buried section of your post. Even on the highest-rated in-ground timbers, this is the most effective way to get the longest possible lifespan. White Cypress also has an independently verified Environmental Product Declaration (Forest & Wood Products Australia, 2025) for tenders that ask for one.Bondall or Diggers Eco — to the buried section of your post. Even on the highest-rated in-ground timbers, this is the most effective way to get the longest possible lifespan.

Don’t Wait to Paint: Zero Weathering Required

Timbers like Merbau and Spotted Gum need a long seasoning period — exposed to sun and rain, they slowly release their natural oils and tannins. Paint them too early and the finish fails. Wait too long and the timber turns grey and splits.
The White Cypress Solution: White Cypress Pine is ready for the brush the moment it's delivered. It's naturally stable and needs zero weathering time.
‍
✔ No Tannin Bleed: Won't stain your concrete or pavers.
✔ No Waiting: Complete the job in a single weekend.
✔ Superior Adhesion: Bonds securely for a finish that lasts years.
