A Natural Way To Bring Style To Your Outdoor Space

At EasyMerchant, we want to help you to attain a natural and eco-friendly answer to your lighting needs whilst also providing you with a stylish aesthetic that delivers an efficient and durable solution. All of our driveway lighting bollards are made using natural timbers such as Iroko Hardwood, Green Timber and English Oak (where possible wind felled to avoid cutting down trees unnecessarily) which can be recycled or left to naturally decompose at the end of their usefulness.

The wooden bollards in the range are coated with Danish oil to enhance and showcase the natural colour and grain of the wood. As with any natural timber, over time, it may crack, twist and warp, bringing out the unique character of each post.

Any of the bollards can be customised with logos, directional arrows and text if required.
