Benoni notes on bollard types
Treated pine posts with reflectors, sometimes linked by galvanised chain, suit the lake parks, clubs and slipways in Benoni, and they can be replaced one at a time. Lakefield and Farrarmere homes add decorative or lit bollards along driveways. In Northmead and the CBD, steel posts and precast domes protect sidewalks, and Apex workshops order yellow steel posts.
Who protects what in Benoni
Benoni is the East Rand's lake town. Parks and slipways around its lakes, sports clubs and lakeside homes in Lakefield and Farrarmere make it one of the few places in Gauteng where timber bollards, chain and post and lit paths are asked for as often as steel. Behind that, Northmead's busy shopping streets and the old Benoni CBD want sidewalk and shopfront posts, and Rynfield's complexes want boom gates and humps. The agricultural holdings around Putfontein and Benoni North have stables, nurseries and small factories that need farm gate booms and tough steel posts. Industry sits in Benoni South and Apex, where fabricators and gate installers work, and Daveyton's busy routes add municipal work.
Typical bollards requests in the area come from:
- Homeowners: a post or two to stop cars parking across the driveway or clipping the wall
- Warehouses, factories and depots: protecting racking ends, doors, gas lines and pedestrian routes from forklifts and trucks
- Estates, complexes and body corporates: posts along visitor parking and walkways so cars stay off the lawns and paths
