Sites and streets in Stellenbosch
Oak lined streets, a big university and wine farms in every valley make Stellenbosch a place where bollards have to look right as well as work. The historic centre along Dorp Street and around the Braak has whitewashed buildings, narrow lanes and heavy pedestrian traffic, so decorative and removable posts are common. The university campus manages thousands of students, cyclists and cars, and student parking is always under pressure. Technopark has office parks with boom gates and access control, while wine farms along the R44 and the Helshoogte Pass want timber or cast posts for tasting rooms and parking. Winters are wet and cold, summers hot, and many products come from Cape Town or Paarl.
Typical driveway bollards requests in the area come from:
- Schools, hospitals and campuses: a school or clinic's staff driveway kept free of parents' cars
- Offices, hotels and car parks: a guesthouse or practice driveway kept clear for clients
- Municipalities and public spaces: approvals for posts on verges and sidewalks outside private homes
