Bollard types in Mbombela: local notes
Treated pine poles with reflectors suit the gravel parking at lodges near Hazyview and the Kruger gates, and some lodges ask for hardwood offcuts for a rougher look. Precast domes and round posts are the usual choice at shopping centres and offices. If you want plastic posts, ask for a grade made to handle UV, because the sun here is hard on them. Solar bollard lights get plenty of sun most of the year.
Who protects what in Mbombela
Lowveld heat is the first thing to plan for in Mbombela. Black plastic and cheap flexible posts go brittle and fade quickly under the summer sun, so buyers here tend to choose painted steel, precast concrete or treated timber. The city mixes provincial government offices at Riverside, busy shopping centres on the N4 and along Samora Machel Drive, private hospitals and schools, and a ring of game lodges and guest farms toward Hazyview, White River and the Kruger gates. Citrus and macadamia packhouses around Karino and the valleys add forklift traffic. Installers, precast yards and fabricators are spread between the Riverside and Rocky Drift industrial areas, which is handy, because Pretoria is more than 300 km away.
The requests we see from Mbombela usually come from:
- Offices, hotels and car parks: marking entrances and walkways at office parks and keeping bays and paths apart
- Warehouses, factories and depots: protecting racking ends, doors, gas lines and pedestrian routes from forklifts and trucks
- Shops, malls and petrol stations: a line of posts in front of shopfronts, ATMs and pump islands against reversing cars
