Paarl notes on bollard types
Wine farms favour treated pine or hardwood posts, H4 treated for ground contact, and cast concrete or decorative cast posts with chain at tasting rooms and venues. Bollard lights along estate driveways help guests at evening events. In Dal Josafat, packhouses and cold stores use yellow painted steel posts and polymer barriers. Main Street suits decorative posts that match the heritage buildings rather than plain industrial pipe.
Sites and streets in Paarl
Wine farms, fruit packhouses and one of the longest main streets in the country set the tone in Paarl. Wine estates on the slopes and around Simondium and Groot Drakenstein want timber or decorative posts along driveways, tasting room parking and gravel lanes, while packhouses and cold stores in Dal Josafat and along the R45 and R101 need forklift and truck protection. Main Street has shopfronts, heritage buildings and narrow sidewalks where cars park on pavements. Winters are wet and summers very hot, with granite rock close to the surface in parts of town. Many installers and fabricators work from Dal Josafat, and heavy units also come from Cape Town along the N1.
The requests we see from Paarl 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
- Homeowners: a post or two to stop cars parking across the driveway or clipping the wall
