Claim:
A fixed bollard system, comprising: a plurality of spaced apart elongated bollards each longitudinally disposed along a corresponding X-axis, each bollard being comprised of: an I-beam having a front face and an opposing back face with opposing side channels formed therebetween that each extend between a top end and an opposing bottom end; and a pair of elongated support structures, each support structure being secured within a corresponding one of the side channels of the I-beam and extending along the length thereof; a plurality of horizontal support beams each longitudinally disposed along a corresponding Y-axis, each horizontal support beam being comprised of an I-beam and having a first end and an opposing second end, the first end terminating at a first end face, the first end of each horizontal support beam being connected to the back face of a corresponding bollard at the bottom end so that the first end face of each horizontal support beam is disposed directly against the back face of the corresponding bollard; an elongated lateral front beam connected directly to the front face of each of the plurality of bollards at the bottom ends thereof, the front beam being disposed along a first Z-axis that is disposed substantially 90 degrees relative to each X-axis and Y-axes; and an elongated lateral rear beam connected to the second end of each of the plurality of horizontal support beams, the rear beam being disposed along a second Z-axis that is substantially parallel to the first Z-axis.
