subject: Decorating Your Home With Bollard Lights [print this page] Bollard lights are derived from the nautical term 'bollard' which is what the posts are called where you tie up the ships when you come into dock. Original sailors tied off their ships to round shaped poles of wood. Today the lights are created in cylinder or square shapes with rounded tops. They are made with different materials also. They are known to be made of metal, concrete or weather resistant plastics.
Designed with the purpose of being able to withstand any weather conditions, they should last for a long time if properly installed. You can also have them electrically wired, battery operated or solar driven. Your landscape will determine which type will work best for your situation.
The lighting elements will be positioned near the top of the post protected by slats or grates. The lights can be positioned to point directly towards a structure or to light up your walkway or a gravel path in your backyard. You can also post them at the bottom and top of the stairway to your front door.
If you have a deck they may be anchored to standing structures or place them directly in the ground. They look beautiful positioned in a raised garden or the front landscaping in front of your home. If you have a pond in your backyard and stone steps leading to it, these could serve to light the path for safety purposes plus bring an accent of elegance to your water hideaway.
They can also be used for security. If you were to line a few across the front of your home they could become barriers for inexperienced or wayward drivers. The plastic ones can be filled will sand making them capable of at least slowing down a vehicle that may be headed towards your front door unexpectedly.
The bollard lights come in various shapes and sizes. There are some that look like the old lampposts along a London street or those that have an oriental flare. All could add something to your landscape to make it safer, welcoming and beautiful.
