KwaZulu-Natal notes on bollard types
Within a few kilometres of the sea, plain mild steel rusts fast, so coastal sites from Amanzimtoti to Ballito often choose 316 stainless or hot dip galvanised steel with a good powder coat. Precast domes and exposed aggregate posts from yards in the south basin suit promenades and parking. Inland in Pietermaritzburg and Newcastle, 304 stainless and painted steel are usually enough. Timber posts suit the Midlands and Drakensberg resorts.
Who protects what in KwaZulu-Natal
Salt air is the first thing to plan for in coastal KwaZulu-Natal. From the Durban beachfront to Umhlanga, Ballito and the South Coast, mild steel rusts quickly unless it is galvanised and well coated, and many specifiers choose 316 stainless for promenades and office forecourts. The port of Durban and Richards Bay bring container yards, warehouses in Prospecton, Jacobs, Mobeni and Pinetown, and truck traffic that hits posts and guardrails. Inland, Pietermaritzburg has a university, government offices and industrial areas, and Newcastle has steel and textile plants. Complexes and estates along the north coast run boom gates and speed humps. Heavy summer rain and sandy coastal soils make footings and drainage important. Most fabricators and precast yards are in the Durban industrial south and Pinetown.

Local tips for KwaZulu-Natal
Common here: 316 stainless on the coast, port and warehouse posts, estate boom gates on the north coast. Ask each installer about this: ask which grade of stainless or what coating is quoted if the site is near the sea. Where they work from: prospecton, Jacobs, Mobeni, Pinetown, New Germany and Cato Ridge.
Concrete Bollards usually suit car parks, taxi ranks, forecourts, schools. The fixing: free-standing or set in on a cast dowel. For warehouses, factories and depots, the biggest group here, that usually means big units around gas tanks, transformers and yard corners. On the ground and weather: humid summers with heavy rain, salt air at the coast and sandy soil near the sea.
