Each type of bollard shape has its own advantages. Some offers benefit of handling higher line load angles than others, while others can offer ability of securing more than one lines. Similarly various popular materials such as cast steel, ductile iron, gray cast iron etc has its own advantages and pitfalls and should be used keeping in view local operational and environmental condition.
