What to know locally in Paarl
Packhouses and cold stores need racking and dock protection that copes with forklifts working fast during harvest. Wine farms and venues use removable posts and chains to close off lanes after hours, and estates in Paarl and Wellington use boom gates with access control. Shops along Main Street ask for protection against cars mounting the kerb, and homeowners use driveway posts to stop visitors parking across the gate.
Paarl: the properties, the ground and the installers
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: a guesthouse or practice driveway kept clear for clients
- Warehouses, factories and depots: a small works driveway protected from trucks turning in the street
- Homeowners: posts so nobody parks across the gate or cuts over the lawn on the corner
