Where to buy a bollard or traffic cone?

starlit

Where could I buy a bollard or a traffic cone for outside? It's for outside the house to stop random people parking near the gate entrance! A motor place or some construction supplier? I'm being serious!

Kiera

Just "borrow" one.

Get drunk and walk home within 2 miles of a construction site. Youre guaranteed to end up with one

Probably could get them off a motor factors. Just rob one and fill it with concrete so the students wont rob it off ya

Mr. Denton

Were you never a student? You just rob one on the way home from the pub. Cost €0.00

Spacedog

look in the bins and back gardens of 1st year college students, you'll find plenty for free.

Doubt students could rob it, live near a rural area yet randomers still park outside or try to turn the car outside the gate.

Iv one in my bedroom i could sell to you for about €2/300. Deal??

Available in most builders merchants, by the way you're not entitled to reserve the parking space outside your house.

whats wrong with them turning at the gate?

Yes I was once a student, but have known fellow friends and students to do so on the way home from the pub and take photos, but I have never taken part in such a thing! I'm a good girl!

ShadowHearth

Needed one of those myself. For safety in car park. You know when you try to park your car, but it constantly going in circles FFs.

I think you're a wussy student looking to look cool for your mates/room mates because you cant nick one like every other student you are trying to save face by buying one

for shame!

Even out in the countryside thought that only applied to suburbs and city houses? Often get a horse or a cow on the loose! Use to have a iron rope but kept falling apart and still didn't stop a cow or a horse coming in the gate! Often get tractors taking up too much space on the road and they pull into the gate and wrecks the ground! So a traffic cone/cones might be the answer might stop them from coming in if its a red or orange cone! Make them more considerate of our property!

To those who are suggesting stealing one.......what happens when there's an accident at the proper location of the cone due to it being missing ?

Will you acknowledge your responsibility and pay all costs associated with the accident, along with the OP ?

If the OP was looking for a serious answer, they would have gone to Commuting forum or their regional forum. Definitely not here

Now back to the traffic cone theft suggestions.

Won't be out tonight maybe tomorrow night, I see what I can do but will probably buy one where ever I can get my hands on one! Really didn't know that. I wasn't sure what forum to put the thread in, thought I can a wider outlook on it. Was going to put it on the motor forum but wasn't sure. Mods can move the thread if they think its more suitable in some other forum!?:o

There are no consequences to stealing a traffic cone or I'd be in the Joy by now

I'm a lady! Doubt they rob it would they? Not if I put a sign up saying builder's headquarters!

Just take one out of your local pond or canal/river. Always handy when you are short of a few traffic cones and the odd shopping trolley.

Run_to_da_hills

The Gardai will lend you traffic cones if you have a good reason. We use to borrow them for Motorbike Rallys and would drop them back to the station the following day.

I have looked up websites online for traffic cones but doesn't show much in the google search! Only yellow bollards!

CarrickMcJoe

Found one

Ficheall

You need a specific colour?
Also - people just drive into the bollards and push them out of the way. Filling them with concrete works a charm for this.

Really ? Did you check to see if there was an accident at the location where you stole it from ?

Maybe there were no consequences for you, but maybe someone died or was paralysed ?

I know it's AH, so standards are low here, but sometimes the flippant attitude towards stealing and other illegal activities on here is mind-boggling.

If there was I would have heard about it. Life's too short for being a goody two shoes, worrying about insurance, the law and who'se responsible for everything. Besides all the fun things have been banned already or are about to be banned.

Its extremely unlikely that anything bad will ever happen over a stolen traffic cone but the law and order think of the children crowd will always come up with some potential disaster scenario most likely involving a child

This forum doesn't seem like there is a flippant attitudes towards illegal things, so manythreads are filled with people vying for more tax and laws and regulation, oversight, accountability, big brother and a general reduction in freedom fuelled by islamaphobia and fear of paedophiles so I really don't know what you're on about

Just do what the guy who owns Madigan's off-licence here in Waterford does and use a forklift to remove any offending cars.

I need a scarecrow to scare away the crows! lol How do I make a scarecrow a stick, some hay, rotten veg and padded stuff along with some manky old clothes? Saw a scarecrow once dressed up as a bishop and in the same field another scarecrow dressed up as a sailor as well!

How has it gone from bollards/traffic cones to scarecrows in just three pages?:eek:

No they were actual scarecrows out in a field, looked scary, one looked like it was dressed as a bishop the other a sailor! They were scarecrows they weren't human. They were out in a big field, you'd see it just between macroom and cork city! Not sure if they still there now.
