Bollard Fence

Abstract

A bollard fence panel includes bollards extending vertically from a concrete base and laterally separated by a gap of about four inches, where each of the bollards is a hollow steel section, and a metal plate located a standoff distance below a top end of the bollards, the metal plate having laterally spaced passages each of which slidingly disposing an upper end of a bollard of the bollards.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A bollard fence panel, comprising:
 a concrete base;   bollards extending vertically from the concrete base and laterally separated by a gap of about four inches, wherein each of the bollards is a hollow steel section; and   a metal plate located a standoff distance below a top end of the bollards, the metal plate having laterally spaced passages, each passage of the passages slidingly disposing an upper end of a bollard of the bollards.   
     
     
         2 . The bollard fence panel of  claim 1 , wherein the metal plate rests on top of a stop positioned on one or more of the bollards at the standoff distance. 
     
     
         3 . The bollard fence panel of  claim 1 , further comprising a vertical plate extending from the metal plate to a position above the top end and laterally across the bollards. 
     
     
         4 . The bollard fence panel of  claim 1 , further comprising at top metal plate positioned above and extending parallel to the metal plate; and
 a vertical member interconnecting the metal plate and the top metal plate.   
     
     
         5 . The bollard fence panel of  claim 1 , further comprising a top metal plate extending parallel to the metal plate and located above the top end; and
 a vertical plate extending from the metal plate to the top metal plate and extending laterally across the bollards.   
     
     
         6 . The bollard fence panel of  claim 1 , wherein the bollards extend ten feet or more above the concrete base the standoff distance is about four feet or greater. 
     
     
         7 . The bollard fence panel of  claim 1 , wherein the bollards are a six inch-by-six inch or greater hollow steel sections;
 the bollards extend ten feet or more above the concrete base; and   the standoff distance is about four feet or more.   
     
     
         8 . The bollard fence panel of  claim 1 , further comprising the bollards internally disposing an elongated member. 
     
     
         9 . The bollard fence panel of  claim 1 , further comprising the bollards internally disposing an elongated solid metal member. 
     
     
         10 . The bollard fence panel of  claim 1 , further comprising the bollards internally disposing an elongated hollow tubular member. 
     
     
         11 . The bollard fence panel of  claim 1 , wherein the metal plate rests on top of a stop positioned on one or more of the bollards at the standoff distance;
 the bollards are a six inch-by-six inch or greater hollow steel sections; and   the bollards extend ten feet or more above the concrete base.   
     
     
         12 . The bollard fence panel of  claim 11 , further comprising the bollards internally disposing an elongated member. 
     
     
         13 . The bollard fence panel of  claim 1 , further comprising a top metal plate extending parallel to the metal plate and located above the top end;
 a vertical plate extending from the metal plate to the top metal plate and extending laterally across the bollards;   the bollards extending ten feet or more above the concrete base; and   the standoff distance is about four feet or more.   
     
     
         14 . The bollard fence panel of  claim 13 , further comprising the bollards internally disposing an elongated member. 
     
     
         15 . The bollard fence panel of  claim 13 , wherein the bollards are a six inch-by-six inch or greater hollow steel sections. 
     
     
         16 . The bollard fence panel of  claim 15 , further comprising the bollards internally disposing an elongated member. 
     
     
         17 . A bollard fence panel, comprising:
 bollards extending axially and laterally parallel to one another and separated laterally by a gap of about four inches, wherein each of the bollards is a hollow steel section;   a member fixedly interconnecting lower ends the bollards;   a metal plate having laterally spaced passages, each passage of the passages slidingly disposing an upper end of a bollard of the bollards; and   the metal plate located a standoff distance below a top end of the bollards.   
     
     
         18 . The bollard fence panel of  claim 17 , wherein the bollards are six inch-by-six inch hollow steel sections and have a length of fifteen feet or more; and
 the standoff distance is about four feet or more.   
     
     
         19 . The bollard fence panel of  claim 18 , wherein the metal plate rests on top of a stop positioned on one or more of the bollards at the standoff distance. 
     
     
         20 . The bollard fence panel of  claim 18 , further comprising a top metal plate extending parallel to the metal plate and located above the top end; and
 a vertical plate extending from the metal plate to the top metal plate and extending laterally across the bollards.
