Untreated pine, sealed for life. A Woodshield bollard is a chemical-free pine core, about 112 mm across, fully encased in roughly 5 mm of recycled polymer with solid plastic end caps, for a finished diameter of about 120 mm. The polymer is made from washed and granulated irrigation dripper tube, so the skin is recycled plastic that would otherwise be landfill.
Nothing to rot, rust, splinter or paint. The seal keeps water out and keeps the timber from drying and splitting, so fasteners stay tight. No termites, no chemical treatment, no maintenance. Woodshield puts the coated post at four to five times the life of a treated pine post, with a 40% higher breaking force.
Made in Victoria. The bollards are made at Shelton Timber's plant in Colac, a business that has been sawmilling since 1966. Woodshield posts have been in the ground in Australia since 2004, the product is certified organic (ACO), and it won the Australian Fencing Industry Award in 2020.
Installs like any timber bollard. Ram it or concrete it in, treat it like timber. Black is the standard colour; white runs are made for the equine industry and other colours can be made to order.
All Woodshield bollards are 120 mm round. They are ordered in from Colac made to length, so tell us the finished height you want.

Order the exact length. Cutting a Woodshield bollard opens the seal and voids the warranty, so we do not cut them. Tell us the finished height and the embedment depth and we order it made to that length. Custom lengths are made to order.
A light where there is no power. The light head is moulded from Japanese bullet-proof polycarbonate, rated IP68, and screws to the top of the bollard with anti-theft Torx screws (the driver bit comes with it). It charges from its own solar panel in about eight hours and runs for about 72 hours on a charge in constant mode. White is the most popular colour; orange, green, blue and red are also available.

The whole point of the product is that it is a circular-economy item: recycled plastic on the outside, untreated timber on the inside, and recyclable again at the end of its life instead of going to landfill as treated timber does. It sits well with the chemical-free cypress we already supply councils.

Ordered in, not off the shelf. Woodshield bollards ship from Colac daily or weekly. Full packs of 24 come to Kilsyth with delivery included; smaller quantities come by courier at cost. For a big job we can have them sent straight to site.
Lights retrofit. The solar light fits after the bollard is in the ground, so a capped bollard today can be a lit one later.
Warranty. Woodshield's 10-year limited warranty covers defects in the recycled-plastic coating. It has to be registered on Woodshield's website within 14 days of the invoice, and it does not cover impact damage or a bollard that has been cut. We will send you the warranty document with your invoice.

At Shelton Timber in Colac, Victoria, from Australian pine and Australian recycled plastic.
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.
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.
