Description

This root mounting plate is a zinc-plated steel anchoring disc designed for use with Garden Zone Sandbanks and Poole bollards. The 136mm diameter top plate provides four bolt holes around a central cable entry point, while three 80mm steel legs extending from the underside anchor the plate into fresh concrete during installation. The zinc plating provides corrosion resistance when the plate is set below grade in the concrete base.

Used during bollard installation, the root plate is positioned in the fresh concrete mix with the legs pointing downwards, creating a permanent anchor point for the bollard to bolt onto once the concrete has cured. The plate sits flush with or just below the finished surface level, with the bollard base then bolting down onto the exposed disc. This method gives a more secure fixing than surface mounting alone, particularly in exposed coastal or high-wind locations.

The central cable entry hole allows mains wiring to pass through the concrete base and up into the bollard housing without additional drilling after installation. The three-leg configuration distributes load evenly across the concrete foundation and prevents rotation under lateral force. The zinc finish shows an iridescent rainbow effect due to the plating process, which is purely cosmetic and disappears once the plate is embedded in concrete.

Frequently Asked

Is this compatible with all Garden Zone bollards?

No. This root plate is specifically designed for the Sandbanks and Poole bollard models from Garden Zone. The bolt hole spacing and central cable entry correspond to those models only. Check the bollard base diameter and bolt pattern before ordering to confirm compatibility.

How deep does the concrete base need to be?

The 80mm leg height means the concrete base should be at least 100-120mm deep to fully embed the legs and provide adequate anchoring. For coastal or exposed locations, a deeper base of 150-200mm is recommended to resist wind loading.

Does the rainbow finish affect performance?

No. The iridescent effect is a byproduct of the zinc plating process and is purely cosmetic. Once the plate is set into concrete the finish is not visible, and the zinc layer continues to provide corrosion protection below grade.

Can this be surface-mounted instead of set into concrete?

Not recommended. The design is intended for embedding into fresh concrete during installation. Surface mounting the plate to an existing slab would require drilling additional fixings and would not provide the lateral stability that the embedded leg design achieves.
